BREAKING: Broward Judge Keathan Frink denies push by Commissioners Audrey Fesik and Alison Fournier to reopen Pompano Beach District 5 race.
Commissioner Darlene Smith remains the unopposed winner of the race.
Broward Judge Hunter Davis ruled candidate Delvin King violated the Pompano Beach charter by failing to live in District Five for a consecutive year. The ruling followed a seven hour hearing on Friday night. Davis called King’s different addresses on driver’s licenses and voter registrations “fatal.”
Judge Davis said King asked the court to believe statements he once swore to be true were now false.
Judge Davis ruled nearly all the evidence favored the plaintiff, current Commissioner Darlene Smith.
King will not appear on the November ballot.
