Kanye West Dropped at Least $30k to Get on Illinois Ballot for President – TMZ
Exclusive Details
Kanye West's last-ditch effort to make the presidential ballot in his home state worked ... but it cost him a nice chunk of change.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Kanye's campaign team hired a third-party vendor called Let The Voters Decide to collect the 2,500 signatures to make the ballot in Illinois.
Thing is ... Kanye did it with only a little more than a day to spare ... before the 5 PM Monday deadline.
We're told the group got to work right away, deploying 45 people who hit the streets in various parts of the state and racked up enough signatures ... all in 24 hours.
Our sources say they were paid handsomely for their efforts...
