Though it still does no one any good at all to continue amplifying such things, the proliferation of articles centered on Kanye West's still-active election efforts has not ceased as part of a united effort to instead put that space toward more pressing 2020 issues.
And now, the long-held concern that any West push for the White House could actually be an attempt from Republicans to craft a "spoiler campaign" in Trump's favor has more weight behind it following reports from the New York Times and New York magazine revealing that multiple people involved with West's ballot efforts are GOP-linked.
Mark Jacoby, for example, is defined in the Times report as an "operative" for the West ballot push who was arrested back in 2008 on voter fraud charges while working on behalf of the Republican Party in California. The Times report from Maggie Haberman and Danny Hakim also points out that Chuck Wilton, who is "linked to" West's campaign, is a convention delegate for Trump from Vermont. Wilton and his wife Wendy, who—notably—is a Trump appointee at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, are both known Trump supporters.
