Kourtney Kardashian is facing some backlash from fans after posting a mirror selfie on her Instagram stories with a somewhat unexpected message about Election Day.
The star posed in black sweatpants, a white tank top, and, most notably, a “Vote Kanye” baseball cap. Although the family has kept pretty quiet about Kanye’s controversial decision to run for president this year, Kourt’s selfie showed support for her brother-in-law, and it definitely did not make her followers too happy.

Kourtney's selfie was met with its fair share of criticism, with many people pointing out the importance of the upcoming election--and that fact that Kanye is only on the ballot in 11 states, making it impossible for the rapper to win.
Plus, considering the rapper's previous support of Donald Trump, many are suspicious of his motives for his presidential run. Check out the controversial photo here:

The Instagram story also featured a swipe up, so Kourt's followers could purchase a similar campaign hat.
After seeing the photo, many people took to Twitter to express their frustration with Kourtney's choice, especially considering her large fan base.
Tyler Oakley responded to Kourtney's endorsement on Twitter, calling the photo "embarrassing."

Kameron Michaels also called out the reality star.
I had to check for myself 🤨 I don’t care if this is a mistake or a joke. Your platform is too big for you to do anything irresponsible like this. Fix it @kourtneykardash and do NOT write in or vote for @kanyewest that is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard 🤦🏻♂️ 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/YxMhAognwA

Despite this criticism, Kourtney seems confident in her choice. She was also the only one of the Kardashian family to retweet Kanye's campaign video that emphasized a commitment to faith.
Kim, Kanye's wife, has not spoken about supporting the rapper in the election. In fact, a source told People that she was "not happy about it."
Kourtney definitely seems to be his biggest supporter in the Kardashian family.
The Poosh founder has also posted on Instagram about the importance of voting as part of the #votingsquad challenge though she neglected to mention who exactly she was supporting in the post. Her caption read: "OK @kerrywashington challenge accepted. I am my own #votingsquad because I will be dropping off my ballot at an official drop box...but I do love discussing our thoughts on important voting topics on our group family chats, for the future of our country and for my children. I nominate all my followers, get out there and VOTE !"
