Rapper Kanye West's name was removed from 2020 presidential ballots in Virginia on Thursday after a judge disqualified him, and accused the campaign of using fraudulent means to obtain "Elector Oaths."
This comes after the Virginia Board of Elections announced last week that West had met the requirement of 5,000 petition signatures and 13 electors who'd pledged their support.
Richmond Circuit Court Judge Joi Taylor invalidated 11 of the 13 “Elector Oaths” the West campaign had submitted, adding that some were “obtained by improper, fraudulent and/or misleading means," according to The Associated Press.
West's team did not respond to an email from The AP requesting comment.
