A month after losing his long-shot bid to return as president of the National Baptist Convention, the Rev. Henry Lyons is once again suing the organization he used to lead.
According to the St. Petersburg Times, Lyons has filed a lawsuit in a Washington, D.C., court claiming election fraud and improper vote counting in the September contest, which he lost in a landslide.
Lyons is well known in the Tampa Bay area for rising to the top of an organization that represents millions of African-American church members, and then falling hard a decade ago as he was convicted of swindling more than $5 million from the organization's corporate partners. He spent nearly five years in prison.
