Kanye West Earned Just 57,000 Votes Across 12 States

The Daily Beast reports:



The math was never on West’s side—no combination of votes in those states would get him to the 270 electoral votes needed to take the Oval Office. The most recent polling on West’s campaign forecast he’d capture 0.0 percent of the vote.

By the time California polls closed, that more or less looked true. The rapper hadn’t scrapped together more than a few thousand votes in any one state.

In Oklahoma, Utah, Minnesota, and Vermont, West laid claim to a whopping 0.4 percent of the vote; in Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee, West pulled in 0.3 percent; in Louisiana, Iowa, and Colorado, that portion dropped to 0.2 percent.
