Robert Pritchard Sr., of Fairchance, got just 63 votes for district judge in the May 2009 primary, and zero in two of 19 precincts in the Fayette County election. The winning incumbent got 2,900 votes and another challenger got 957.
Pritchard says people could have voted illegally because the county allegedly hasn't properly purged 25,000 dead or unregistered voters from its rolls. County attorneys deny that but say even if that were a problem, it wouldn't account for Pritchard's lopsided loss.
The high court does not have to accept the appeal, which has already been rejected by two state appeals courts.
