A couple years later, it’s due for an update, and it is getting one: Meet the 2022 Hyundai Kona.

Lawsuit Seeks to Ban Kanye West From Arizona Ballot
An Arizona resident has asked a judge to bar Kanye West from appearing on the state’s Nov. 3 ballot, accusing the hip-hop artist of serving as an election spoiler and arguing that a law prohibits him from running in the state as an independent presidential candidate.

But Clayton’s lawyers say West, who paid top dollar to dozens of workers gathering petition signatures in Arizon...
