That was not accurate.
The screenshot was taken from the LEX18 website, showing that Kanye had more than 40,000 votes in Kentucky and was in third place behind libertarian candidate Jo Jorgensen and independent candidate Brock Pierce.
However, news station LEX 18 quickly pointed out that the results shown were not valid. They were simply part of an old link from June and a test by the Associated Press.
