Did Kim Kardashian vote for Donald Trump? Internet angry as she filters out red dress from 'I voted' post
While many celebrities have openly chosen a particular camp, Kim Kardashian has never openly declared if she's Team Donald Trump or Team Joe Biden in the ongoing Presidential Elections 2020. Her husband rapper Kanye West, on the other hand, had been very clear that he was Team Trump, supporting MAGA and calling Trump his "brother" in the past but chose to participate in the elections himself. He was never registered to vote before but this time he voted, for the first time according to his own admittance, even posting a video of him doing so from inside the polling station. There's not much of a secret there as to who he voted for. Him sharing pictures of people that cast their votes for him, adding his name in the write-in candidate section should be hint enough regarding how he chose to make his right to vote count.
Coming back to Kim Kardashian, she's never openly said who she voted for in 2016 and who got her vote in 2020. While people might assume that she voted for Kanye, a lot of her fans feel otherwise and are sure that her vote went to Trump. She and Trump have worked with each other quite a lot in the past couple of years. Kim's been in the White House on multiple occasions, attending meetings, working with the president to discuss prison reform. Their association began in 2018, when, President Trump commuted the sentence of Alice Marie Johnson, a first-time nonviolent drug offender who served 21 years. This was a week after Kardashian West pleaded her case during a meeting with Trump on prison reform. Kim has stayed in touch with the president’s son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner — who led the administration's push for prison reform legislation — ever since, according to ABC News.
On November 3 morning, Kim posted an appeal for her followers to go out. It was a pouty photograph with her in a red dress, also featuring the 'I voted' sticker. She did a double-take later in the day, deleting the old post and sharing a new one, this time urging people to stay at the polls and leave only after their vote has been cast. She chose to do so with the same photo as earlier but this time she used a B&W filter, which filtered out her red dress that fans deduced was her support to Trump for which they called her out.
I VOTED!!!! Did you?!?!

If you are in line when the hours of operation close at the polls, they are required to stay open and allow you to vote, so do not get out of line. pic.twitter.com/QXsU4JPdCw
"Not you deleting the original post and uploading in black and white bc you were wearing a red shirt," wrote a fan. "Not you making this black and white after we already saw the red dress," tweeted another. "The fact that you posted the same pic with color earlier and your top is the color red giving your followers the hint that you are in fact voting red is just such a let a down and to be quite honest it’s irresponsible knowing the climate that we are in rn," tweeted another fan. "I like how after she wore a red top in this picture, she posted the pic, and then she got called out for a wearing a red top, then edited the pic to black and white," quipped another.
