A former Alabama Social Security Administration judge had a "technical question" for his attorneys and federal prosecutors after a hearing where he pleaded guilty to multiple charges Wednesday.

Paul Stribling Conger, Jr.'s question was when he would be considered a convicted felon.

One of the prosecutors told 73-year-old Conger he wouldn't be legally considered a convicted felon until after his sentencing, which is set for Feb. 1.

Conger replied, "So, I can still vote for Trump?"

Conger made the comment to his attorneys and prosecutors after the hearing had ended. After a few seconds of laughing, the prosecutor said he would be able to vote.

Conger pleaded guilty Wednesday to theft, obstruction, and accepting gratuity charges related to a 2013 incident involving sex with a woman claimant at a federal courthouse.

The woman told authorities she met Conger in his chambers at the courthouse in Tuscaloosa several months after the judge had already ruled on her case. The two then engaged in a sex act and other sexual contact, according to court documents.

Mark White, one of Conger's attorneys, said, "His entire lifetime stands in stark contrast to a mistake made on one day."
