Elaine Brown being Counter-Sued
Elaine Brown, the former and only female leader of the Black Panther Party, wanted to be Mayor of Brunswick, Georgia. Before the election a challenge was filed to the candidacy of Elaine Brown. A hearing was held and evidence presented established that Elaine Brown DID NOT meet the legal requirements to run for Mayor.
Elaine Brown has since filed appeal after appeal and filed other lawsuits challenging the Nov 8 Election results citing many violations and other reasons she cites in her lawsuits.
Now, the first COUNTER-SUIT has been filed against Elaine Brown seeking damages and legal fees.

Mayoral election back in court
The Brunswick News
Brunswick, Georgia
The two Brunswick residents who successfully petitioned to get Elaine brown off the mayoral ballot in the Nov 8 city election are now counter-suing her.
Brown has challenged the Glynn County Board of Elections ruling that removed her from the ballot in both Superior Court and U.S. District Court.
In their lawsuit filed Wednesday, Howard Buie and Alice Norman seek restitution of their legal fees for defending themselves during Brown’s hearings.
A hearing on Brown’s lawsuit contesting the results of last month’s election and a request for a new election will be held Dec 19 in Glynn County Superior Court.
A hearing date has not been set for the counter-suit.

As a former resident of Brunswick, I can say it is rife with racist corruption. Thank God for Elaine Brown. Don't give up. Keep the faith. Support her any way you can. A strong candidate such as Ms. Brown sends shockwaves through a community of right-wing fanaticism.
Sorry Gary. Elaine lied and got caught. She filed a lawsuit but finally had to drop it because she could not prove any of her charges. Now their are lawsuits against her for her lies.

UPDATE on the election contest filed by Elaine Brown.
The case was set for Dec 1 and Elaine Brown won her motion for a continuance until Dec 19. Now that Dec 19 is next week, the word around Brunswick is that Elaine Brown and Zack Lyde decided at the last minute to drop their contests of election lawsuit. Yes they both filed a lawsuit.
The truth of the matter won out. Elaine Brown was not a legal resident of Brunswick for at least 12 months and could not run for office. Otherwise she would of continued to fight this case if she felt in her heart that she was within the law.
Is the matter done? Only Elaine Brown and her friends know.
A counter suit against Elaine Brown is still pending.
