Episode Details

A legal showdown is unfolding in Perry County, Alabama, as incumbent commissioner Albert Turner sues Probate Judge Carlton Hogue over who should appear on the ballot as the Democratic nominee for County Commission District One. The Alabama Democratic Party officially backed Turner, but Judge Hogue certified Donald Bennett instead — sparking a lawsuit seeking a temporary restraining order to block the certification. While Judge Monet Gaines appeared inclined to grant the order, its effectiveness is questionable since the certification deadline has already passed. With Hogue absent and no official ruling yet posted, the outcome remains uncertain — highlighting the messy intersection of party politics and election law.
