Edward S. Allen, Ed. R. Haden, and James J. Goodman of Balch & Bingham, LLP, Birmingham; and William B. Sellers of Balch & Bingham, LLP, Montgomery, for appellant.

Troy King, atty. gen., and John J.

Taylor, in his official capacity as Circuit Clerk of Escambia County; and Roy Wylie Granger III, Office of the Secretary of State, for Nancy Worley, in her official capacity as Secretary of State. (The state election officials, named as defendants in the circuit court action, were not named as appellants or appellees on the notice of appeal filed in the Supreme Court. They did, however, file a brief in the Supreme Court.)


HOUSTON, Justice.

This is an expedited appeal. The Alabama Republican Party appeals the order of the Montgomery Circuit Court's issuing a writ of mandamus 1) ordering that Kelly McGinley's name be restored to the June 1, 2004, Alabama Republican Party primary ballot, and 2) directing the Alabama Republican Party and various state and local election officials to "count and certify any properly cast votes" for McGinley in that election. We reverse.
