Oklahoma Rep. Frank Lucas won his Republican primary with 82.8 percent of the vote on Tuesday. His opponent, Timothy Ray Murray, only received 5.2 percent of the vote. 
 
 Murray is taking his loss, well, oddly. He's contesting the election results on the grounds that Lucas is dead and has been replaced by a body double. Lucas, who has been in Congress for 20 years, told local news station KFOR that “It does come as kind of a shock to read that you’re not you." 
 
 "A lot of stupid things happen in Oklahoma politics," says Keith Gaddie at the University of Oklahoma, "but this may be the stupidest I've ever heard. Welcome to Oklahoma." (At the end of our phone call, Gaddie asked that I make sure the word "stupid" appeared in his quote.) 
 
 Paul Ziriax at the Oklahoma State Election Board says that Murray has not filed a formal petition to challenge the results yet. He has until 5 p.m. today to make a decision. The deadline for challenging the qualifications of a candidate was April 15. 
 
 In a press release on Murray's campaign Web site -- addressed to "News Person" -- he asserts that "it is widely known Rep. Frank D. Lucas is no longer alive and has been displayed by a look alike. Rep. Lucas’ look alike was depicted as sentenced on a white stage in southern Ukraine on or about Jan. 11, 2011." 
 
 Stacy Buck, a representative for Lucas, confirms that yes, the congressman is alive, and no, he has never been to Ukraine, but that the office is making no further comments at this time. 
 
 Although the specifics of Murray's claim are slightly different, the candidate's fears closely follow the plot of the 1993 movie "Dave," which has a 94 percent "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes -- and a thumbs-up from Bill Clinton. In the movie, Dave Kovic -- played by Kevin Kline, fills in for the president -- who also looks eerily like Kevin Kline -- after he suffers a stroke. 
 
 Saddam Hussein's rumored body doubles were featured in an episode of "Arrested Development." 
 
 Murray also reaffirms his qualifications for office, as a human who is alive. "I will never use a look alike to replace my (The Office’s) message to you or to anyone else, as both the other Republican Challengers have." 
 
 The accusations leveled against Lucas have been on Murray's campaign website for a long time, but did not receive any attention until Murray sent out a press release after the primary. In previous web site updates, Murray promises, "I will NEVER use Artificial Intelligence look alike to voice what The Representative’s Office is doing nor own a robot look alike." ||||| OKLAHOMA CITY, OK (CNN) -- An Oklahoma congressional candidate has announced plans to contest Tuesday's primary election of long time Representative Frank Lucas. Tim Murray says he doesn't feel Lucas is qualified for office. 
 
 Congressman Frank Lucas has been releasing several campaign commercials in the Oklahoma City area, but his opponent this election, Tim Murray, isn't buying that this guy is the real deal. 
 
 Murray brings it up in his letter announcing his plan to contest Lucas' election writing "...it is widely known Rep. Frank d. Lucas is no longer alive and has been displayed by a look alike." 
 
 Oklahoma station KFOR tried contacting Murray numerous times after he mailed the letter to their station, but he didn't return any messages. 
 
 But his campaign website goes into detail about his theory that Lucas was hanged "...executed by the world court on or about Jan. 11, 2011..." in Ukraine. 
 
 For the past 20 years, Lucas has been in congress and he's faced Murray in past elections. Lucas said, "He was the Democratic nominee for congress two years ago. This time, he chose to run as a Republican." 
 
 On Tuesday, five percent of Oklahomans voted for Murray and Lucas won, but since Murray believes Lucas is a fake, he wants those votes. Lucas said, "Many things have been said about me, said to me during course of my campaigns. This is the first time I've ever been accused of being a body double or a robot."

 BLUEFIELD, W.Va. — Former Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship insists his new ad, in which he attacks Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for growing rich from his “China family,” is not racist. 
 
 But in doing so, the West Virginia Republican Senate candidate may have furthered concerns of his own prejudices. 
 
 “Swamp captain Mitch McConnell has created millions of jobs for China people,” Blankenship says in the ad that debuted Thursday. “While doing so, Mitch has gotten rich. In fact, his China family has given him tens of millions of dollars.” 
 
 His initial defense of the ad was similar to one he gave during a Fox News debate Tuesday with fellow Senate hopefuls, Rep. Evan Jenkins and state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, when he said: “Some people are Korean persons, some people are African persons — it’s not any slander there.” 
 
 He echoed that sentiment Thursday. 
 
 “They’ve always said about me, 'West Virginia people.' Is 'West Virginia people' racist?” he told Roll Call at a campaign stop at Macado's restaurant. 
 
 He then suggested his language was not racist because he did not name a race in his ad. 
 
 “We’re confused on our staff as to how it can be racist when there’s no mention of a race. There’s no race. Races are negro, white caucasian, Hispanic, Asian. There’s no mention of a race. I’ve never used a race word,” Blankenship said. 
 
 The Republican candidate maintains that his ad is about conflicts of interest posed by business ties of the family of McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, the Transportation secretary. Chao’s parents are U.S. citizens and immigrated to the country in 1961. 
 
 As the New York Times has reported, Blankenship has his own ties to China. His fiance was born there and he's said he'd consider moving to China, if he could obtain citizenship, because of fewer regulations. 
 
 A Republican super PAC tied to McConnell has funded ads going after Blankenship, fearing a win by him on Tuesday would imperil the party’s chances of unseating Democratic incumbent Joe Manchin III. His standing in recent polls has faded since the attacks. 
 
 But Blankenship, who served a year in prison in connection with a 2010 mine explosion that killed 29 people in southern West Virginia, thinks he’s going to win — “unless something changes in the next 96 hours,” he said. 
 
 “You know we don’t have solid, scientific polling, but we have indications that we’re going to win. You can tell — we had 1,300 likes on our Facebook page after the debate and I don’t think any of the other two broke 100,” he said. 
 
 Blankenship consultant Greg Thomas clarified that the campaign does have internal polling that shows him ahead but did not provide specifics. That would be at odds with recent polling released on the race. 
 
 So if not McConnell, who else would Blankenship like to see lead the GOP in the Senate? 
 
 “Well, I don’t know who it’d be,” he said. “But I certainly don’t know of anyone who’s more proven that they can’t do the job.” 
 
 Does he like anyone in the Senate? 
 
 “Oh, there’s people in the Senate I like. I probably shouldn’t say which ones I like because they’d probably come out and say, 'I don’t like him' because they’re all in protective mode,” he said 
 
 Watch: 5 Things to Watch in Tuesday’s Congressional Primaries
– Frank Lucas only looks like he won an Oklahoma congressional primary by a landslide, according to a contender who got thumped at the polls. Tim Murray says he'll contest the primary because Lucas was actually hanged in Ukraine and replaced with a body double, THV 11 reports. "It is widely known" that Lucas "is no longer alive and has been displayed by a look alike," Murray writes on his website. "Rep. Lucas’ look alike was depicted as sentenced on a white stage in southern Ukraine on or about Jan. 11, 2011." But he doesn't stop there: "I am contesting that this matter has happen [sic] since his election was blocked, because of the US Defense Department’s use of Mr. Murray’s DNA. ... Congress is likely wanting me to state that all my DNA used will not result in benefits to people I have never had relations with of a family nature." Murray's reaction? "It does come as kind of a shock to read that you’re not you," he told KFOR. "I’ve never been to Ukraine." The GOP congressman even had a rep say that he's not dead and hasn't been to Ukraine, the Washington Post reports. At least one analyst isn't too surprised: "A lot of stupid things happen in Oklahoma politics," said Keith Gaddie of the University of Oklahoma. "But this may be the stupidest I've ever heard. Welcome to Oklahoma." Murray—who won 5.2% of the vote to Lucas' 82.8%—has until today to officially contest the primary.
