Early voters who are not close followers of the news may be confused when they scan their ballot for the Aug. 4 election.
They will see the names of Hamilton County Criminal Court Judge Tom Greenholtz and Hamilton County Sessions Court Judge Alex McVeagh as unopposed candidates for their positions and may recall something they saw about the name of both linked with different judgeships.
The name of Greg Martin also will appear on the ballot twice for two different posts.
With early voting having begun Friday, voters should know the details – and that the Hamilton County Election Commission hasn’t simply made errors in its printing process.
On March 28, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee appointed Greenholtz to the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals. The appointment was subject to confirmation by the Tennessee General Assembly and would be effective Sept. 1, 2022.
