EVERGREEN, Ala. (AP) - The Alabama attorney general's office has
seized records pertaining to the Oct. 7 municipal runoff election
in Evergreen.
Joy Patterson, spokeswoman for Attorney General Troy King's
office, said investigators served two subpoenas Oct. 28 that
ordered any and all documents relating to the runoff to be
surrendered to the state office.
One subpoena was served on the city clerk for municipal records,
and the other on the county's chief registrar.
Patterson declined to say why the records were seized. The hotly
contested Evergreen mayoral race ended with incumbent Mayor Larry
Fluker winning by two votes over challenger Pete Wolff III in a
campaign that divided the town along racial lines.
Fluker, elected four years ago, is the town's first black mayor.
Wolff is white. Both sides raised claims of illegal tactics and
voter fraud during the campaign and after the votes were counted
Oct. 7.¼
