A Wisconsin state court ruled that Kanye West can’t appear as an independent presidential candidate on the battleground state’s Nov. 3 ballot, denying the rapper’s request to overturn a decision disqualifying him. West could still appeal the ruling.
Brown County Circuit Court Judge John Zakowski ruled his court couldn’t refute the findings of the Wisconsin Elections Commission, which concluded that West’s representatives filed his nomination papers past the Aug. 4 deadline.
