Mount Vernon election suit tossed

May
28

MOUNT VERNON — A lawsuit filed by supporters of former Mayor Ernest Davis seeking to overturn the November election has been dismissed by a federal judge.

U.S. District Judge Charles L. Brieant rejected the lawsuit’s allegations that a federal probe of city business intimidated voters in the mayoral election.

The lawsuit was brought on behalf of more than a dozen plaintiffs, including Davis, against the U.S. Justice Department, the FBI, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the state and county boards of election, Mayor Clinton Young and Janet Snyder, the Republican candidate in the general election. It sought $600 million in damages.

  1. the consultant

    judge brieant is nobody’s fool..he will uphold the
    law..there are a number of lawsuits before him with
    flimsy claims..he will dismiss those as he did this
    and then there will be greivances filed against
    attorneys who manufacture allegations
