Update: 3:40 p.m. Friday, August 16th: According to The Detroit News in a Friday afternoon report, West has been disqualified from Michigan's ballot due to improper notarization of a required affidavit, according to the Michigan Bureau of Elections. The notarization by Dana L. Manning failed to comply with Colorado law in several aspects, including missing notarial details and unfilled blanks. As a result, Michigan's Bureau of Elections, following state law, disqualified West. His campaign has vowed to challenge the decision in court, criticizing it as a tactic to suppress opposition.
