Kanye West’s presidential campaign met today’s deadline to submit a petition to appear on Tennessee’s November ballot, the Tennessean reports. West’s petition, which must have the signatures of 275 registered state voters, was turned in by Sir Isaac Ford, the son of longtime U.S. Rep. Harold Ford Sr., a Memphis Democrat who retired from Congress in 1997. The signatures have yet to be reviewed on the petition submitted by West, whose campaign has struggled to get on the ballot in some other states, failing to meet required deadlines or facing problems during the signature verification process. If his petition qualifies, the rapper and record producer would appear on the ballot as an independent.
