Former 10 Commandments Foe Is Now Write-In Candidate Against Roy Moore

As previously reported, in March Alabama's former Supreme Court chief justice Roy Moore won the March Republican primary to again become a candidate for his old job. According to AP, his Democratic opponent Harry Lyon has run ten previous campaigns for various county and state offices, and has never won.  This has led two attorneys to launch write-in campaigns to try to keep Moore from regaining office. One of those candidates is Melinda Lee Maddox. She was one of three lawyers who sued Moore over the 5,280 pound granite Ten Commandments monument he had installed in the rotunda of the Alabama Judicial Building. (Background).
