Elections Board Disqualifies Pam Brown, Robert Smith in Sheriff’s Race
Friday, April 1st, 2016
Two Muscogee County sheriff’s candidates the local elections board disqualified Wednesday said they will appeal the board’s decision to Superior Court.
Finding that Pamela Brown and Robert Keith Smith failed to get fingerprinted for a criminal background check by a March 16 deadline, the board voted three to one to disqualify them. Only board member Linda Parker, who represents the local Democratic Party, voted to qualify the candidates. Voting to disqualify them were Uhland Roberts, Eleanor White and Diane Scrimpshire. The board chair, Margaret Jenkins, votes only in a tie.
