Judd filed to run for president again in the 2012 general election , and attained ballot status in the West Virginia Democratic primary . 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 ) . 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 . Judd , who did not qualify for any other primary ballots , contested the ballot count , alleging that ballot workers suppressed the actual total ( which he said showed him in the lead ) in an effort to cover up an Obama loss
