Judge Roy Moore won his race for Chief Justice in the GOP primary without a runoff. He received a little more than 50% of the vote to gain the Republican nomination for Chief Justice. Judge Moore defeated two very good candidates, incumbent Chuck Malone and Mobile County Circuit Judge Charlie Graddick, and did it without using any television ads. The Moore campaign was run on a shoestring budget and that made Judge Moore’s victory even more impressive. It was without any doubt a classic grassroots effort. Judge Moore will be heavily favored over Democrat Harry Lyons, the Democratic nominee, in November.
