There have been claims by outgoing NAACP President Terry Mills that votes were suppressed for this year's NAACP election.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Additional support is coming for the embattled president of the local NAACP chapter after he claims he was not re-elected to the position because members weren't notified of the election.

Dr. Nick Adame said the claims made by outgoing NAACP Terry Mills that votes were suppressed needs to be worked out so the community can come together in unity.
