UPDATE: This afternoon April 12, 2006 at 1:56 PM, the Knox County Election Commission has updated the information on Jim Andrews and he is running as a Democrat.

The last two days have been a busy time for the Knox County Election Commission. They have been entertaining hoards of people filing a Write-In proclamation.

A couple of interesting ones, Kelvin Moxley has filed as a Republican candidate for County Clerk, Jim Andrews has filed for Chancellor Div.III, this is the position that Knox County’s Republican Law Director Mike Moyers is running for. Interestingly, Mr. Andrews has failed (in the records of the Knox County Election Commission) to indicate if he is running as a Demo or as a Republican.

I am assuming that this is the same Jim Andrews that ran as the Democrat nominee for Sheriff in 2002 and while at “his victory party” at a west Knoxville establishment, he began to blame the media for not covering the many allegations against the Sheriff, who by the way was re-elected that evening overwhelmingly. It was presumed by many spectators in attendance and watching via the television that with his launch he wasn’t drinking the Phil Keith adult beverage of choice.

So, if Andrews wants to run as a Demo again, that is wonderful, however when the returns come in, the television stations may want to wait until the next morning.
