'When you're late, you're late': Kanye falls short in Wisconsin

CHICAGO - Rapper Kanye West will not appear on the 2020 presidential ballot in Wisconsin after state election officials Thursday ruled his attorneys submitted the needed petition signatures too late.

West's effort to get on the Wisconsin ballot was challenged because his documents were filed one to two minutes after the 5 p.m. deadline on Aug. 5.

"When you're late, you're late," Commissioner Julie Glancey said during a 2½ hour hearing at which the panel voted 5-1 against West. "We've knocked people off the ballot for being one signature short. If we are holding their feet to the fire on the number of signatures, we need to hold their feet to the fire on the time they file."
