More details have been revealed about Kanye West's electoral efforts just hours after the rapper conceded defeat in the 2020 US presidential election.
According to the Associated Press, the 43-year-old only managed to rake in almost 60,000 votes in preliminary tallies from the 12 US states where he appeared on the ballot. In their findings, the majority of West's supporters came from Tennessee, where he garnered 10,188 votes — the most he received from any state in the US.
The outlet reported that West also clocked up 6796 votes in Minnesota, 6259 votes in Kentucky, 5587 in Oklahoma, and 4837 in Louisiana.
West was running under the Birthday Party and was an official candidate in the aforementioned states as well as Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Iowa, Arkansas, Mississippi, West Virginia and Vermont.
Yesterday, West also voted for the first time and, of course, he tweeted about the event.
"God is so good," West wrote on Twitter. "Today I am voting for the first time in my life for the President of the United States, and it's for someone I truly trust... me."
However, it's highly likely his vote did not count as he wrote his name on the ballot while voting in Wyoming. According to protocol, a write-in candidate's vote is only counted in that state if they win the election or if they file additional paperwork and pay a fee to election officials — it's believed West did not do this.
By the end of yesterday, the rapper acknowledged that he was no longer in the race for The White House. Although his 2020 presidential campaign failed, he remains optimistic and has already set his sights on 2024.
"WELP. KANYE 2024," he tweeted alongside a photo of himself standing in front of a map of the United that indicated the results. The rapper later amended his tweet to succinctly read, "Kanye 2024."
