Judge Dismisses Case Seeking Removal of V.I. Elections Board Chair
A civil lawsuit seeking to remove V.I. Board of Elections Chairman Raymond Williams from the board was dismissed after Superior Court Judge Alphonso G. rejected a request for a temporary restraining order.
The plaintiffs, including board members Lawrence Boschulte, Harriet Mercer, and Atanya Springette, along with Collister Fahie, had alleged illegality, fraud, or conflict of interest, but the judge found no evidence to support these claims.
- The case was brought by the plaintiffs, with Fahie representing the group pro se.
- The hearing, which began at 10:00 a.m. and concluded after 4:00 p.m., was interrupted twice due to disconnections in the virtual setup.
No conflict, no evidence
The judge's decision was made after a thorough review of the case, and the plaintiffs' allegations were found to be unsubstantiated.
