Ex-cons can't vote but they can run for office?
NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA -- Imprisoned former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke is considering a run for Congress when he gets out of prison later this year, his secretary said.
Roy Armstrong said Duke, who was not barred by his plea agreement from running for federal office, is pondering a shot at the seat of U.S. Rep. David Vitter, a Metairie Republican. In 1999, Duke finished third in the primary for that seat.
Armstrong said Duke could be released to a halfway house in New Orleans or Baton Rouge in mid-April, a year after he entered the low-security Big Spring federal prison in Texas on mail and tax fraud charges.
Duke could not be reached for comment.
Mississippi seems like a good state for him to run in. I'm sure the governor of that state will endorse him.
