On one thing, everyone in Newbern agrees. Black or white, plaintiff or defendant, young or old, no one in Newbern can remember an election.

“I can’t remember one,” one middle-aged Black resident told Tread Saturday morning. She shucked corn on her front porch as she answered questions. “You’ll have to ask some of the older folks.”

The older folks don’t remember an election, either.

Hattie Hollis, 83, was born and raised in Newbern. She couldn’t recall a single election in the town’s history.

“Not that I know of,” she said. “I can’t remember any election.”

Even the former mayor and his co-defendants admit it’s been decades since the citizens of Newbern have been able to vote for the town’s leader.

"For 60 years the Town of Newbern, Alabama, a one square mile town, has not held elections,” lawyers for Stokes wrote in a court filing. “The title of Mayor has simply been passed from individual to individual to anyone who would agree to be Mayor without regard to elections. Mayor Stokes became the Mayor of the Town of Newbern in this manner.”

But
The town’s previous mayor, Haywood “Woody” Stokes III, had failed to file the necessary qualifying paperwork to run for the town’s top office. No citizens had filed to run for town council, either. Braxton, though, had taken great lengths to qualify. So without opposition, he assumed the office of mayor

Patrick Braxton bought the mayorship by filing the proper paperwork while nobody else was smart enough to do that.:) So he is mayor and can rule over the 1.16 sq mi town with population 133 as he wishes.

Meanwhile, in August 2020, just weeks after his election, Stokes and his council members Gary Broussard, Jesse Donald Leverett, Voncille Brown Thomas and Willie Richard Tucker allegedly "met in secret to adopt a 'special' election ordinance." Notice of the meeting was not published, and the group set a special election for Oct. 6, 2020.

No notice of that election was ever published, according to the lawsuit. Because the election was not publicized, only Stokes and his council members qualified. They then "effectively reappointed themselves" to their positions, Braxton alleged, and "unlawfully assumed their new terms" and were sworn in in November, even as Braxton assembled his own town council.

The defendants did admit that Braxton was the only person to qualify for mayor, and that no other candidates qualified for mayor or council membership. They admitted that a special election was held to put themselves in town council positions, and "admit that Defendant Stokes became Mayor of the Town of Newbern after Plaintiff Braxton lost the position by operation of law."

It's not clear by what operation of law Braxton would have lost the position.
