Rasean Clayton v. Kanye West

Summary

The court affirmed the injunction barring Kanye West and his presidential electors from appearing on Arizona's 2020 general-election ballot. It held that the statutory restriction on independent candidates did not prevent West from qualifying, but that his electors were disqualified because none filed the required statements of interest before nomination-petition signatures were collected, rendering those signatures invalid. The resulting lack of sufficient qualified electors required affirmance of the trial court's order.
