The Virginia Supreme Court rejected an appeal by Kanye West Thursday, blocking the rapper from appearing on the states general election ballot in November.
West appealed to the Supreme Court following a ruling by state Attorney General Mark Herring, who found that Wests campaign had obtained fraudulent signatures in an attempt to get on the ballot.
Having considered the record and arguments presented, we find it is not appropriate under the circumstances of th[is] case to alter the temporary injunction, the courts decision concludes.
Herring took to Twitter to applaud the ruling.
This case could have thrown the election into complete chaos and disenfranchised thousands of Virginians -- this ruling will help ensure every single vote is counted this fall, he said.

As for West, he can add collusion with a domestic enemy to his reputation as a wife beater.
