| Description | Since early last year, the infamous big-cat keeper has waged a public war of words with the Colorado Secretary of State's Office over his attempts to appear on the 2024 presidential ballot as a Democratic candidate. He was on the Colorado ballot in 2016 before his Tiger King stardom, running alongside disgraced animal exhibitor Doug Terranova as an Independent.
Now, as a convicted felon, Maldonado can't register to vote — a requirement he claims Colorado is forcing him to meet. As Coloradans prepare to vote in presidential primary elections for Democratic and Republican candidates on March 5, his chance to appear on the Colorado ballot this November is running out.
"They are using the excuse that I have to be a registered voter, which is illegal for me to register as a felon and they refuse to answer any letters that my campaign has sent to the Democrat Party or the Secretary of State," Maldonado says. "I have met all federal requirements to be on the ballot and run for President. I am over 32 years of age, I am a U.S. Citizen, I have lived in America for over fourteen years. That is all the United States Constitution requires to run for office and it should not be a state party choice to change the rules for a federal election."
