West reportedly dropped $30,000 to be included on the ballot.
Meanwhile Wisconsin is looking into
West’s presidential bid in that state after Democratic party members found signatures for “Mickey Mouse” and Bernie Sanders on that state’s ballot.
“If the affidavits are true … crimes were committed by the West campaign,” attorney Michael Maistelman, who gathered the affidavits for the state Democratic Party, told the
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
