| Description | BOISE, Idaho - A federal prison inmate in Texas has "conned" his way onto the ballot for Idaho's primary election May 27 as a Democratic presidential candidate, the state's top election official says.
Keith Russell Judd, 49, serving time at the Beaumont Federal Correctional Institution in Texas for making threats at the University of New Mexico in 1999 and scheduled for release in 2013, qualified by submitting a notarized form and paying the required $1,000 fee, state Secretary of State Ben Ysursa said.
As a result, Democratic voters will be able to choose between Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Judd.
"We got conned," Ysursa told The Spokesman-Review of Spokane, Wash.
It's Judd's second presidential bid in Idaho. In 2004 he declared as a write-in candidate for president, which requires only the submission of a declaration, and didn't get any votes. |
