The Davidson County Election Commission on Friday voted to remove Luvell Glanton from the May 3 Democratic primary ballot following a challenge to his residency. The vote was 3-2 along party lines, with three Republicans voting to remove and the two Democrats voting to leave him on the ballot.

Embattled Circuit Court Judge Kelvin Jones brought the challenge, arguing that Glanton’s residence is in Williamson County where the plaintiff’s attorney owns a home. His mother currently lives in the home while Glanton says he moved to his Jefferson Street offices last summer. The Republican commissioners — Chairman Jim DeLanis, Dan Davis and Ross Evans — sided with Jones. Democratic commissioners Tricia Hertzfeld and A.J. Starling voted against removal.
