Luvell Glanton’s bid to remain on the ballot for the May 3 primary took a hit when a Chancery Court senior judge denied his case.

Glanton had qualified to run against incumbent Judge Kelvin Jones and challenger Lynne Ingram in the Democratic primary for the Circuit Court Division VIII seat. But Jones filed a complaint with the Davidson County Election Commission claiming that Glanton was not a Davidson County resident before the August 2021 deadline. Along a 3-2 party-line vote, the GOP commissioners voted to remove him from the ballot.
