Kanye West receives thousands of votes from Orange County residents

As the nation breathlessly watches a tight presidential race and agonizes over the future of American democracy, Kim Kardashian’s husband received thousands of votes from Orange County residents this week.

As of Thursday afternoon, West and his Independent Party running mate Roque “Rocky” De La Fuente Guerra received 3,641 votes from Orange County residents. West was listed as a vice presidential candidate on the California ballot.

It won’t be good enough to put the man who called himself “the greatest artist that God has ever created”
in the Oval Office. West conceded defeat late Tuesday night after falling behind Joe Biden and Donald Trump by tens of millions of votes.

West ran on a platform that included restoration of prayer in schools, expansion of education opportunities, investment in renewable energy and criminal justice reform. “In our future, we will H.E.A.L.,” his campaign website reads, “Hold Everyone Accountable to Love.”

West, who appeared on the ballot as an independent in several states, could not be reached for comment on Wednesday.

In Los Angeles County, West and Guerra received more than 10,000 votes.

A few people voiced their dismay on Twitter at West’s vote totals.

One Twitter account read, “2623 adults in #OrangeCounty voted for Kanye! Post election task: Find ALL and cancel their voting rights!”

“Oh lord,” another user commented.
