What happened, I thought Kanye was running for POTUS, my ballot had him as VP?

If so, you were played for a damn fool.

I have no clue.  Perhaps, as he could not get on the California ballot, he accepted the VP slot on somebody else's ticket.  As the VP candidate, he is using his real middle name.  On the states in which he is heading the ticket, he is using the nickname "Deez Nuts" instead of his middle name.  So unless there are two Kanye West's with the same middle name, it appears to be him.
