We are still waiting for the results of the US 2020 Election. Lots of mail in ballots, thanks to COVID, and laws that vary from state to state about everything from when the ballots have to be received to when they can start counting, mean that it may still be a few days until we get the official notice. One thing we can confirm is that Kanye West got WAY more votes than we could have expected.
We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States
! #2020VISION

It was US Independence Day, only four months ago, when Kanye West announced he was running for president with a tweet, writing “We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States! #2020VISION”.
A few days later, Kanye announced his two campaign advisors were his wife, Kim Kardashian and SpaceX and Tesla, Inc. CEO, Elon Musk. (Musk was also his choice to head up the space program.) Michelle Tidball, a Christian preacher from Wyoming, was picked to be his VP and running mate as the Birthday Party candidate, because “when we win, it’s everybody’s birthday”.
Now, he did miss the presidential ballot access deadline in 29 states + the District of Columbia but after spending $5,867,353, not including his $8,003,103.18 in outstanding debts, how did he do? Better than you’d expect. These numbers are as of 09:00 AST on November 4th.
From lowest to highest:
Vermont – 1,265
Arkansas – 1,663
Mississippi – 3,131
Iowa – 3,197
Idaho – 3,631
Arkansas – 4,040
Utah – 4,344
Louisiana – 4,894
Oklahoma – 5,590
Colorado – 6,254
Kentucky – 6,259
Minnesota – 7,748
Tennessee – 10,216
I think my real take away from all this is that there are way more people than I thought in Tennessee.
We will keep you updated on The Wave News about any election developments as ballot counting continues throughout the day.
As for Kanye, he’s at 62 thousand votes and counting.
