NE Jackson turnout down?

While running errands this afternoon I stopped at several precincts in Ward 1 and got vote totals between 3:00 and 4:00 PM.

St. Phillips: 614 votes
Firestation on Ridegwood (Precinct 79): 400 votes
Willie Morris Library (Precinct 34): 536 votes (Updated at 5:00 PM) 1016 votes in 2005.
Casey Elementary (Precinct 33): 465 votes (6:45 update)
Belhaven College (#9): 284 votes.
Spann Elementary: 492 votes (5:00 PM) 842 total in 2005

Its starting to look like the votes in NE Jackson are down a third or so from 2005. Not good news for Horhn or Crisler.

So much for Ladd's prediction of a higher turnout than 2005. You.don't.know.shit.from.Shinola.sweetheart.

Did she really do that?

Turnout is low across town. Horhn wasn't going to finish better than 4th anyway. Low turnout shouldn't deviate from published polls. Crisler - Harvey, 1 and 2. Maybe Melton sneeks in, but I doubt it.

The ONLY poll to consider is SRG's. Chism did not conduct a poll.

Yes, Ladd predicted a heavier turnout than 2005.

Kingfish said...

I guess she is a racist then.

posted by ladd on 03/18/09 at 01:10 PMI also expect a higher turnout this time -- especially if Mr. Melton is on the ballot. No one but the JFP ever points out that he was elected with a really low turnout last time. There are many more choices this time.

Trust me. I am making no predictions about outcome, but I do believe there will be a higher turnout if he's on the ballot.

When it comes to turnout don't believe a damn thing Ladd says.

Busting Ladd's Turnout Myth

Donna Ladd is an idiot.

I predict a much better turnout this time, at least in the primary.

Let's start a campaign of sorts to get people to challenge more myths and rumors, before just passing them on. The JFP has been doing this in many ways for almost seven years, but we really need to get the community to think about how they only hurt themselves when they don't demand evidence for rhetoric.

The above is true. the JFP has been spreading garbage election analysis and rhetoric for seven years.

Somebody needs to tell Alan Laannnggggeeeee that P33 was a 613 vote box in '05, not 842.

Thanks for Asking said...

I wouldn't listen to someone about anything regarding numbers when that same someone can't get their taxes paid on time.

Some loser actually sat at a computer for half an hour just so he could dig up Ladd quotes. Hysterical.

A loser commented about another loser. Now THAT is funny.

THEY ARE WORRIED... said...

What IS funny is the people that obsess about Donna, God d$&N get a life! If she is such a moron/bozo , why the hell do all of you acknowledge her, good God!

Do you obsess on OTHER "losers" or DOES SHE INTIMIDATE YOU?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
