Among them are conservative Alan Keyes of Maryland and Keith Judd, a federal prison inmate in Beaumont, Texas.

At least three Kentuckians have qualified as write-ins, including Billy Mills of Morgantown, Shelley Upchurch of Ft. Thomas and Leonard Habermehl of Frankfort.

Frankfort, KY – Kentucky's new voter registration numbers are out, and they're record-setting.

Four years ago, there were nearly 2.8 million registered voters in Kentucky. That rose to more than 2.8 million for the May primary.

But even that number has now been eclipsed, said Les Fugate, of the Secretary of State's office.

"We have a record number of registered voters who will be able to participate in this fall's election, with 2.9 million voters," said Fugate.
