Pete Wolff III has been declared mayor of the city of Evergreen in a ruling today in Conecuh County Circuit Court by retired Mobile County Circuit Judge Edward McDermott. The ruling in the contested mayoral election in Evergreen unseats Mayor Larry Fluker, the first black leader of the city. Fluker had just completed his first term in office when he ran for re-election last year.
McDermott ruled that 24 votes for Wolff were illegal and 31 votes for Fluker were illegal. The final count was 1,002 votes for Wolff, 997 for Fluker. No date has been set on when Wolff will be sworn into office.
Only the Mobile Register thinks that race still exist in everything between black and white. I believe the Register is promoting racism to a certain extent.
