Kanye’s Lawyers Demand that Democrats Prove that Mickey Mouse Didn’t Sign His Ballot Petition

By

Democracy itself is becoming a farce.

Everyone understands that good Trump friend, Kanye West, is not running for president to be president. To the extent that Kanye is in control of anything, he is running to help his buddy out, Donald Trump. Kanye’s candidacy is meant to provide people a third candidate for whom to vote in some key midwest states, such as Wisconsin. Trump almost cannot win without a viable third-party candidate taking some percentage of Biden’s vote. Even one percent might be enough.

But one cannot get on the ballot in the states without some kind of organized operation and “can do” spirit, something that Kanye doesn’t necessarily have right now. Instead, some Republican operatives stepped-up to help Kanye and get the needed petitions signed. These Trump friends have been dragged into court by Democrats trying to keep Kanye off the ballot.

The Democrats pointed out that Mickey Mouse signed the petition, clear evidence that they’re fraudulent. Trump’s buddies want Democrats to prove that … Mickey Mouse didn’t sign the petition to put Kanye on the ballot:

On Tuesday, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that Michael Curran, an attorney for rapper Kanye West’s independent presidential campaign, is demanding Democrats prove their assertion that Mickey Mouse didn’t really sign West’s petition to qualify him for the ballot in Wisconsin.

“Curran … dismissed most of the other technical challenges as ‘misguided and ill-informed,’ including the claims that the nomination papers included obviously fake names, such as ‘Mickey Mouse’ and ‘Bernie Sanders,’” reported Daniel Bice. “He said the complaint must prove these are fraudulent signatures.”

How does one “prove” that Mickey Mouse didn’t sign the petition? People on Twitter wanted to help.

The irony of the situation wasn’t lost on some:

We are still tripped up with how one proves Mickey didn’t sign the petition, especially if one can’t use science. It would seem that the burden of proof should be the other way around, that the Republicans need to prove that Mickey signed it. It shouldn’t be hard – they’re in court saying it’s valid.

Peace, y’all
