Criminal Clerk Challenges Election Results

Wanda Halbert, Shelby County’s Criminal Court Clerk, is suing the Election Commission over a primary election she claims was mishandled — losing by just 126 votes to Joe Towns, already certified — while simultaneously facing an imminent ouster hearing over longstanding performance complaints. Halbert can’t access key records, so she’s demanding a recount and legal access to prove her case. Her attorney argues removal after two terms requires serious grounds, not political pressure. Meanwhile, Election Administrator Linda Phillips insists her office’s integrity is intact and won’t comment further, leaving the legal and political battle hanging in the balance.
