Some of the counting going on for the Fife Council election. The Scottish Parliament election had already been declared by this point. The people on the desks in purple are doing the manual verification of ballots, where people had got confused and put Xs instead of 1s etc. The people standing around watching it on the monitors are the candidates and their hanger-ons.

A full page ad in the Quicksilver Times was the only expense J. Brinton “Brint” Dillingham recorded during his September 15, 1970 Democratic primary quest for Sheriff of Montgomery County, Md.
Dillingham was a well-known advocate for youth and an antiwar and civil rights activist when he filed for the election.
Dillingham campaigned on freeing all political prisoners, including those incarcerated because of their economic status, and disarming sheriffs’ deputies.
Early in the campaign in November 1969, Dillingham blasted incumbent Sheriff Ralph W. Offutt charging that sheriff’s deputies used undue force in shooting a convicted cattle rustler in the rump when he tried to escape from jail.”
Offutt responded, “if that long-haired s.o.b. wants to make an issue, let him.”
At the time Dillingham had been sentenced to six months in jail for distributing a copy of the Washington Free Press that contained a cartoon of Montgomery County Judge James Pugh sitting at the dais naked while masturbating and playing with instruments of torture.
He was also facing four misdemeanor charges for confrontations with police outside the youth shelter he was running in Bethesda, Md.
Later in the campaign he sought writs of habeus corpus for a dozen people charged with crimes but held in jail because they couldn’t make bail.
Dillingham said he wanted to run for judge, but you had to be a lawyer so he chose sheriff.
When the election was held, Dillingham drew a surprising 10,000 votes to Offutt’s 40,000.
The obscenity charges against Dillingham were ultimately overturned on appeal and he received no jail time for the misdemeanor charges.
A few weeks after the election, Dillingham was arrested again for cursing at a County Council meeting when he was not permitted to speak about the arrest and beatings of Paul and George Pumphrey, two Black Panther sympathizers, in Rockville.
Dillingham continued his activism until his death at age 46 in 1990.
