Watkins and Cooper both filed suits challenging Dean's election on allegations of vote fraud (specifically relating to absentee ballots) and evidence that Dean did not live in the city limits. Bessemer circuit judge [[Eugene Verin]] called for a recount and inspection of ballots as part of the discovery phase of the lawsuit. He ruled on [[September 25]] that Dean's residence was valid, but that he had not received enough valid votes to avoid a runoff with Watkins. Dean was ordered to vacate the office until a runoff was held.

2016 Jefferson County municipal elections were held August 23, 2016, with runoffs as needed held on October 4.

The following were the contests in cities and towns in Jefferson County. See 2016 municipal elections for contests in other counties.

Adamsville

Five other mayoral candidates filed, but were disqualified for failing to turn in an ethics form simultaneously with their qualification papers. Those included Yohance Owens, Dana Brown, Nathaniel Byrd, Loretta Herring and Tammi Taylor.

Brighton

Watkins and Cooper both filed suits challenging Dean's election on allegations of vote fraud (specifically relating to absentee ballots) and evidence that Dean did not live in the city limits. Bessemer circuit judge Eugene Verin called for a recount and inspection of ballots as part of the discovery phase of the lawsuit. He ruled on September 25 that Dean's residence was valid, but that he had not received enough valid votes to avoid a runoff with Watkins. Dean was ordered to vacate the office until a runoff was held.
