Election was unfair, candidate Judy says

Cody Robert Judy, who ran as a write-in candidate for the U.S. Senate in the recent election, filed a document in 3rd District Court on Monday alleging his candidacy was not treated fairly by the Utah Office of Elections.

Judy filed a "verified petition of unfairly administered election" claiming state election officials handled his campaign improperly because a pencil was not available in each voting booth, although a chad puncher was; the ballots were not uniform in all counties; his vote tally was not reported to the media; and the names of write-in candidates were not included on lists in voting areas.

Judy is asking for unspecified monetary damages and a "rematch" in a special election for the U.S. Senate.

Judy has run for Congress before, but he is best know known for his conviction of first-degree felony aggravated burglary after he stormed a 1993 fireside in the Brigham Young University Marriott Center with a bogus bomb and threatened Elder Howard W. Hunter, who was then president of the Quorum of the Twelve of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Judy served time in prison and was released.
