Alabama: loser in Greene County contest will sue
The Tuscaloosa News reports: A group of 60 supporters vowed Sunday to make their votes work for Greene County sheriff candidate Ison Thomas.
His 243-vote win in the June 6 primary over incumbent Sheriff Johnny Isaac was shunted aside Saturday when the State Democratic Executive Committee named Isaac the nominee.
Thomas' supporters rallied Sunday evening, making plans to raise $3,000 to $4,000 for his legal fund to challenge the decision of the Democratic executive committee and counter the contest to the legality of his win. ...
A state Democratic subcommittee ruled last month that Thomas had not filed his campaign finance forms properly after Isaac contested Thomas’ win. Since then both candidates have hired attorneys to settle the dispute. -- GREENE COUNTY: Residents rally behind Ison Thomas - Tuscaloosa
