Despite his announced intentions to run for the nation's highest office, according to a Ballotpedia list of state deadlines, West has missed the deadline to register in:

North Carolina, which required Independent candidates to register by March 3
Texas, which required Independent candidates to register by May 11
New York, which required Independent candidates to register by May 26
Maine, which required Independent candidates to register by June 1
New Mexico, which required candidates to register by June 25
Indiana, which required candidates to register by June 30

While West could run in these states as a write-in candidate, rules for write-in candidates vary from state to state and often do not count, according to a 2016 report from The Washington Post. According to the report, states often opt to tally up the individual votes all write-in candidates receive as one and place them in an "other" category.

It's not too late for West to appear on the ballot in the majority of states, though Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and West Virginia have approaching July deadlines, according to Ballotpedia.

6. It is a PR stunt to promote a new album

He won’t appear on any ballot anywhere.

7. It's nothing but another Trump diversion.

West looks ridiculous for letting himself be used like that. His ‘brand’ is toast. No one want to be associated with an idiot, much less wear their dumb logo.
