Anything they can do to stop the impending disaster for MF45 in November.

Why would they push a bipolar black rapper?

The in the Whitehouse kissing the fat orange anus are going to be stupid enough to vote for Him. As a black person on social media Kanye is conserved a poor lost soul.

They don’t generally waste their vote.

And they don’t forget being underestimated.

He is fucking with the very people who buy his records and I'm sure they are smart enough to see what he is doing.

He will soon join MC Hammer as the one rejected by fans.

West's electors are GOP operatives and Trump supporters, and the ballot effort has an election fraudster or two for good measure. Consistent with West's operations in at least two other states.

Move 3% of Bidens votes to Kanye
Move 3% of Bidens votes to the Greens
Move 3% of Bidens votes to the Libertarians.

Software is wonderful ain't it?
Is Trump's total above Biden's now?
Call the electors.
