Kanye West's lawyer demands Democrats prove Mickey Mouse didn't really sign his ballot petition.

Poor Yeezy!

The guy doesn't realize he's the freakin' Court Jester and Fool in King Trump's Court!

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.”

Kanye West, who is running under a self-created political entity he calls “the Birthday Party,” has filed to run in a number of states, aided by Republican election strategists who appear to hope he will pull votes from former Vice President Joe Biden. His bids to get on the New Jersey and Illinois ballots failed due to irregularities with the petition signatures, and his campaign is accused of similar problems in the Wisconsin filing.

In addition to fake names, the challenge alleges that West’s signature-gatherers lied to at least six people about what they were signing, and filed the paperwork just after the deadline. Curran denies anything improper in West’s petition process.

2. Sounds like someone will be charged with fraud very shortly

4. Stop this madness . .

6. Talk about lack of shame.

It's only fitting that these assholes are aligned with Trump. It's bad enough that they're committing electoral fraud, but exploiting a mentally ill man like this is beyond reproach.

7. I am so sick and tired of these people making a mockery of my Democracy.

This is disgusting. People are fucking dying, and they are pulling this shit.

[New Breed Leader]

9. Right on.

I've had enough.

8. Here's the punchline:

I don't believe that "Yeezy" cares whether or not he's on those ballots. He just likes the attention.

10. In Oregon, you have to be a registered voter to sign a petition

If the same is true in Wisconsin, Mickey Mouse or Bernie Sanders are registered voters in Wisconsin, and it should be easy enough to follow up with them about whether they signed the papers.

But if the West campaign missed the filing deadline, then it doesn't matter who signed or what name they used.

[Heartstrings]

11. Seriously?

Like we don’t have enough shit to deal with here in WI....get another life, Mr. Kar-trash-ian!

[Initech]

16. You know people are just fucking with him when they sign fake names on his petition.

And it's causing him to lose his mind. Quite frankly I'm loving it!

[Initech]

12. OK just as soon as you can prove that Donald Duck actually is wearing pants.

Can't be done, can it?

[TlalocW]

13. They ought to hold a press conference

Where they say they are going to give Kanye and his campaign the respect it deserves in following up on these accusations then bring someone out in a Mickey Mouse costume to say, "I never signed the petition."

14. This bullshit is the twisted, enabled progeny of decades of Reality TV. n/t

[Flaleftist]

15. OMG. I thought for sure this was Borrowitz.

[rogue emissary]

18. This is actually easy to do.

I know West lawyer is being a smart ass, but a search of Wisconsin's voter roll for a Mickey Mouse would solve this discrepancy.

[dsc]

19. I can't imagine that one can sign a petition to put a person on the ballot in WI without at least

being a citizen of WI. I have my doubts Mickey Mouse lives in WI.

20. Oh FFS

Obama was right on the money when he called this clown a jackass...
