Attorneys for West’s campaign in Ohio sued, arguing that it was LaRose’s duty to accept any petition for an independent candidate as long as there is no protest filed against the petition and that it doesn’t violate Ohio law.
Justices ruled LaRose did not abuse his discretion or clearly disregard applicable law.
West has made the ballot in 12 states: Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah and Vermont.
The business mogul publicly supported Republican President Donald Trump before announcing his own presidential bid on July 4.
