Despite a bold proclamation on his newly launched campaign website that he has secured a spot on Colorado’s 2024 ballot for a White House run, the imprisoned “Tiger King” of Netflix fame — Joseph Maldonado, better known as Joe Exotic — is not ready for presidential prime time in the Centennial State. So says the Secretary of State’s Office, which on Tuesday told The Denver Post that it will return Maldonado’s $500 check “with instructions for steps the candidate must take in order to be on the ballot.” The determination from the state’s election officials comes a day after multiple media outlets, citing Maldonado’s own presidential announcement, reported that the former zookeeper and federal inmate had gained a spot on the ballot — his first among the 50 states. “The Secretary of State’s Office requires candidates to personally sign official documentation affirming they acknowledge state law requirements in addition to providing payment for ballot access,” said agency spokesman Jack Todd.
