Notable incidents
In early 2012, Keith Judd, a TCI Texarkana inmate serving a 17-year sentence for extortion, filed papers to run for president in the 2012 general election,[2][3] and attained ballot status in the West Virginia Democratic primary.[4][5] On May 8, 2012, Judd won 41% of the primary vote in West Virginia against incumbent Barack Obama, a higher percentage of the vote in one state than any other primary opponent of Obama had hitherto achieved in 2012 (a figure later surpassed by John Wolfe, Jr.'s showing in the Arkansas primary).[6][7] While this showing would normally have entitled Judd to delegates at the 2012 Democratic National Convention, state officials expressed some uncertainty as to whether Judd had completed the required formalities, such as filing a slate of delegates and completing paperwork.[8] Judd, who has not qualified for any other primary ballots, is contesting the ballot count, alleging that ballot workers suppressed the actual total (which he says shows him in the lead) in an effort to cover up an Obama loss.[9]
