BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC) -
The Alabama Democratic Party says Jefferson County Circuit Judge Robert Vance, Jr. has qualified to run for the open nomination as Alabama Chief Justice.
Last Friday, a party subcommittee voted to oust Pelham lawyer Harry Lyon as their candidate. The committee ruled Lyon had made comments in violation of the party's ethical code for judicial candidates.
Vance is son of former federal judge Robert Vance, who was killed when Walter Leroy Moody, Jr. mailed a bomb to his Mountain Brook home.
The Alabama Democratic Party opened a qualifying period Monday at 8 a.m. and will end at noon Wednesday. If there is more than one qualifying candidate a ballot will be mailed to members of the party's executive committee. The results will be certified August 27.
