Candidate Press Release
Elaine Brown, 2005 candidate for Mayor of Brunswick, Georgia

November 11, 2005
THE FIGHT CONTINUES!
Even though the racist, Republican-backed opposition to Elaine Brown's campaign for mayor
of Brunswick, Georgia, succeeded in removing her name from the November 8th ballot--AND taking
away her right to vote!--a federal court judge, at the 11th hour, on November 7th, ruled the
local Board of Elections had to count her votes!
In other words, Elaine had only hours to mount
another campaign to convince blacks their votes for her would now be
counted.
By then, of course, the majority black population of Brunswick, slated to vote for Elaine and make
her the City's first black mayor, had already sat out the five-day advance voting period and really
didn't know or believe they could vote for Elaine on Election Day. Her name was still not on the
ballot. So, black voter turnout was low, and the Republican-backed candidate
was declared the winner.
ELAINE IS GOING BACK TO FEDERAL COURT! She will
-- challenge the election results
-- contest the election on grounds of gross misconduct and fraud
-- get her name back on the voter rolls
-- demand a new and fair election
ELAINE'S CAMPAIGN STILL NEEDS YOUR HELP!
