    Kanye West's petition to appear on New Jersey's ballot as a presidential candidate 'contained more than 600 defective signatures with very similar handwriting,' according to formal complaint
    • Election law attorney Scott Salmon filed a formal complaint against Kanye West's petition to appear on New Jersey's ballot as a presidential candidate
    • The complaint found more than 600 signatures on the application were incomplete or written in the same handwriting
    • Many appeared nearly identical, including lower-case i's dotted with a small circle and some lacked addresses, according to Salmon
    • New Jersey law allows for other people to gather signatures on the candidate's behalf if they submit proper documentation - which Kanye did not
    • The rapper submitted his application with 1,327 signatures - exceeding the 800 requirement - to get on the ballot for New Jersey on Monday

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Kanye West's campaign says he belongs on the ballot even if nomination papers were 14 seconds late

    The fate of Kanye West's presidential campaign in Wisconsin may be coming down to a matter of crucial seconds.

    West's campaign is arguing he belongs on the presidential ballot in Wisconsin even if his campaign turned in his nomination signatures 14 seconds after the 5 p.m. deadline Aug. 4.

    The 23-page document, filed Monday, says a state Elections Commission staffer told a West campaign aide that she turned in the nomination papers 14 seconds after the deadline. State law says the papers had to have been filed by "not later" than 5 p.m.

    "The statutory provision does not distinguish between minutes and seconds," lawyer Michael Curran of Spring Green said in the filing.

    "For the average observer, arriving before 5:01 p.m. is arriving 'not later' than 5 p.m. The phrase 'not later' is particularly instructive in that it indicates the presumption that the seconds from 5:00:00 to 5:00:59 are inclusive to 5 p.m. As the statute states '5 p.m.,' for something to be filed later than '5 p.m.' it would have to be filed at 5:01 p.m."

    Sounds like the British way of keeping time as they refer to 3 minutes and 45 seconds as the 4th minute where as in the states it would be considered the 3rd minute. They typically round up for any time.

    You'd be great at trivia. Yes, that's a compliment from someone who worships trivia.

    Didn't he call himself "the new moses" or something the other day? I believe it's when he said NBA players are slaves. What's scary is that I know people who believe in everything he says.

    Well, he'd still be a more stable president than Trump.

    I hate how some people find religion and think they need to make everyone else have it too.
