OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Three Democratic challengers to President Barack Obama have filed presidential candidacy declarations in Oklahoma.

Candidacy papers and the $2,500 filing fee were received by the Oklahoma Election Board on Wednesday for 53-year-old Bob Ely of Illinois, 52-year-old Randall Terry of West Virginia, and 76-year-old Jim Rogers of Midwest City. All three are Democrats.
