Yep, he did not make the ballot in a number of states. Every state has its own requirements to get on the ballot. The reps were helping him get on the ballot in many states

It's becoming clearer which states Kanye West might have an impact on the 2020 election, though it remains unclear what difference his long-shot campaign could make in the overall results.

As deadlines around the country have come and gone, West, a rapper who has avidly supported President Donald Trump in the past and announced a run for the presidency earlier this summer, is officially on the ballot in 11 states.

His campaign has been unusual. Though he's running as a member of the "Birthday Party," it has been Republicans who have consistently worked on the often chaotic, buzzer-beater efforts to get West on ballots around the country. After a controversial campaign launch in South Carolina, West's wife, Kim
Kardashian, posted on Instagram saying he was having a bipolar episode. West later apologized to his wife and thanked her for being there for him.

What each state requires.
