Votes that were clearly marked for Kanye West were, instead, given to Joe Biden in Michigan, witnesses allege.
Kanye started a low-key run for President over the past year, failing to fulfill the many onerous and restrictive ballot access requirements in many states, including Michigan. Michigan requires independent candidates for President to collect 12,000 petition signatures in order to appear on the ballot, a requirement that Kanye did not meet back in July.
But many still preferred Kanye, and voted for him.
