Kanye West does not qualify to be on the presidential ballot in battleground state of Wisconsin after missing a filing deadline, a judge ruled late Friday. The decision was made by Brown County Circuit Judge John Zakowski who ruled in favor of the Wisconsin Elections Commission. West announced a presidential bid in July, saying he's seeking the nation's highest office on a ticket he calls the 'Birthday Party'. Whether West and Hawkins are allowed on the ballot could have a significant impact in razor-close Wisconsin. The elections commission did not have an exact count as to how many ballots were sent.
