John Kyle Day v. Laura "missy" Michelle Wardlaw; Bradley County Board of Election Commissioners; Desha County Board…

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Day’s petition seeking to remove Wardlaw from the ballot and prevent votes for her from being counted. It held that the certified docket and related evidence established only a bond forfeiture, not a guilty plea, no-contest plea, verdict, or conviction of an infamous or public-trust crime. The court also rejected Day’s claim that Wardlaw maintained impermissibly inconsistent positions because her argument accurately characterized the disposition as lacking a plea or conviction.
