missed this last month Dr. Cornel West Announces Write-In Campaign in New York, Sets Sights on Battleground States https://www.cornelwest2024.com/ny_write_in excerpt: [Albany, New York] Despite facing challenging signature requirements in New York, the Cornel West for President Campaign announces a strategic shift to a write-in campaign in the state, empowering New Yorkers to vote for Dr. Cornel West in the upcoming presidential election. The state of New York now requires independent candidates to gather an arduous 45,000 signatures within a six-week period, a figure that is triple the number required in previous elections. This task is further compounded by a unique requirement for listing all electors on the petition, alongside increased numbers of district-specific signature requirements. "These stipulations are not just onerous but are fundamentally anti-democratic, obstructing fair access to the ballot," stated campaign spokesperson Edwin DeJesus. "In 2020, New York Democrats pushed changes that significantly raised the barriers for ballot access, effectively eliminating ballot representation for various minor parties, including the Greens. These actions highlight the systemic barriers that independent and minor party candidates face in New York." Despite these challenges, the campaign remains undeterred. "We are incredibly grateful for the dedication and tireless efforts of our New York volunteers, whose commitment to democracy shines brightly even in the face of daunting obstacles. While we celebrate our significant achievements in states like Michigan, our New York team remains undeterred, actively spreading the word about the West-Abdullah write-in option. Our focus continues on key battleground states, including Georgia and Pennsylvania, where the electoral stakes are high.” added DeJesus. The West-Abdullah campaign has secured ballot access in Michigan, North Carolina, Colorado, South Carolina, Utah, Oregon, Alaska, and Vermont, pending finalization of requisite documentation in certain states. Dr. West's campaign continues to rally support across the nation, advocating for policies that address the needs of all Americans and challenging the status quo. New Yorkers are encouraged to participate in the democratic process by writing in 'Cornel West' on their ballots, ensuring their voices are heard. more at the link

Has West paid back all his unpaid taxes yet? Has he paid what he owes to his 4-5 million ex-wives? Did he pay back the landlord he owed money for where he kept his side women? Loved West - always have loved what he says. His private life is an absolute mess though and has spilled into his professional life too. Disappointing.
