Why not Federal prison? NOTHING they did was legal and at least the mayor (sic) and city council knew full well they were subverting the Democratic principles of the US.

No fine, no probation. Prison for these manipulative shits

Good news. One of the most overt examples of organized racism in the modern era. I hope they make real change.

The incumbent, Haywood “Woody” Stokes III, hadn’t even bothered to fill out the paperwork to run again. Haywood Stokes Jr., his father, had previously been mayor of the rural Black Belt town.

The end of a dynasty. Good riddance.

Shit states gonna shit state

Braxton, who was born in Newbern and described himself as a “handyman for the community,” hasn’t been able to access town funds since Stokes was appointed as mayor four years ago.

Sounds like they voted for the right person.

Gotta watch out for all those Martial Arts experts! 🤣
