A lawsuit brought by Decatur citizens in connection with municipal election results was dismissed by a Morgan County Circuit Court on Friday.

The complaint was filed by Maurice Ayers on Sept. 4 on behalf of the people of Decatur and stated that several ballots were comprised because they didn't contain all the candidates' names for the mayor's race.

The lawsuit alleged that the winner of the mayoral race wasn't named within a five day window of certified election results.

Circuit Court Judge Stephen Brown dismissed both counts in the lawsuit on Friday.
