West, a liberal academic currently serving as professor of philosophy and Christian practice at Union Theological Seminary in New York, would likely draw far more votes away from Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris than from former Republican President Donald Trump. West’s lawyers in the case have deep Republican ties.
The refusal comes after a rejection by U.S. District Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan, who expressed sympathy for West's claim earlier this month but found it was too late to reprint ballots and retest election machines without increasing the risk of error.
Ranjan cited federal precedent that courts should not disrupt imminent elections without a powerful reason for doing so.
