Jackson Jambalaya

Dear Ben Allen, Dear Kaze, Dear Donna Ladd, Dear Quentin Whitwell, Dear Blake Wallace, Dear Bob Wilson, Dear Todd Stauffer, Dear Robert Graham, Dear David Watkins, Dear George Smith, Dear Doug Anderson, Dear Peggy Calhoun, Dear David Blount, Dear John Horhn, Dear Lynn Evans, Dear David Hampton and Greetings to the remainder of the Hinds County Cult of Misguided Apologists:

The Democratic Party runs Hinds County and Jackson.

The Democratic Party in Hinds County and Jackson is dysfunctional exceeding definition and beyond salvage.

The Democratic Party in Hinds County is irreparably fucked up.

NO AMOUNT OF RE-BRANDING CAN SAVE HINDS COUNTY AND JACKSON.

You can effort to blow all the smoke up the asses of this MSA that you want. But in the end all that the rest of the metro area sees is y'all, bullshit artists, sitting there straining to blow smoke up people's asses.

YOU LIVE IN DENIAL.

This election is bad flawed. Even if it is a primary run by the party, are there no laws which must be followed?

Mac thinks " da' community " still beez wif him.

Wake up Malcolm , they never liked you from the start.

You are a little to fat and pink for most voters in 2011 Hinds County.

Why you did not run as an independent is the big question .

822 wow.......why all of the anger. Why don't you get involved or be happy with you decision to move. Why must you criticize others?

8:22 you'll need to add Snopes to the roster of the Hinds County Cult of Misguided Apologists.

I suspect we will never know who got the most votes in the sheriff's race.

So, who is to blame? Circuit Clerk?

The Parties host the primary elections, not the circuit clerk.
There seems to be a lot of people pointing fingers at others but in the end it would appear the responsibility lies with the Hinds County Democratic Party, not the election commission nor the circuit clerk.

So. What can we outraged voters do about this? are we required to accept this botched election? just because mcinnis says so? if that is the case, then why not just allow him to appoint his candidate? there must be an option for us here who expect elections to be run with honesty and integrity

The bottom line is that the fraud of Democratic primaries in Hinds County and Jackson has now and forever been exposed. Going forward no candidate should ever possess any expectations of fairness in a contested primary. And once these same Democrats have elected themselves into each of the Election Commission seats then all confidence of fairness in any general election conducted within Hinds County will be lost.

There is a reason why Bennie Thompson wants all the Hinds and Jackson precincts in his district.

"A little to fat and pink"? Is that code for "We ain't got room no more for white folks"?

Wondering what 'Detroit South' will do when it runs off every last white taxpayer? Then will they resort to naming potholes for black activists and each other?

Dorsey Carson should wake the fuck up at these results. His own party does not want people like him.

Shadowfax, Why must you resort to name calling by using terns like "Detroit South" why not just focus on your own back yard.

Wondering what 'Detroit South' will do when it runs off every last white taxpayer?

Problem is that the black middle class is leaving Jackson in droves for better schools outside of JPS and less crime. It is a race-neutral economic flight.

asking again. what is the solution for those of us who are outraged with this? it is painfully obvious that this is a scam. a farce. a lie. how do we as citizens effect a change in what appears to be the road we are marching down? is there any option?

There's nothing wrong with the process - the problems like with the humans who run it. The mistakes that have the sheriff candidates up in arms were human mistakes, not systemic issues. The parties run their own primaries. They recruit, train and pay poll workers and managers and resolution board/committee members. The Circuit Clerk is simply the pass out and collection point for absentee ballots. Fair elections start with honest people on the party executive committees. From there we need more intelligent and impartial people to serve as poll managers and resolution board members. We need dedicated and smart election commissioners to provide the training. Although it's a challenge that may never be completely met, the system will be fine once there are good people in every role. Bill Billingsley

My comment was in response to 'too fat and too pink'. That is obviously a comment directed at the white race, not the black middle class. I see no problem with labeling Jacktown 'Detroit South'. If you can refute my label with facts or a logical correction, please have at it.

Signed,

Not fat but pink

SF, My point is not to debate your assertion as you have clearly made up your mind, But to try and understand why you would spend time putting down a place where you don't live. If you are so smart in your choices, Why not be satisfied. I truly am trying to figure out what motivates people to tear down a city that they have decided to leave and to tear down those that are trying to make it a better place.

If I must refute your label than I would point to the large amount of private investment made downtown in past few years.

Ok, Tyrone Lewis won enough said. Now watch the fun begin!

There is more federal, state and local taxpayer investment downtown than there is private investment.

Speed's new building being the one major exception.

Snopes: Other than Speed dumping a load of personal cash downtown (AKS pissing it away), I'm aware of zero 'private investment' downtown. If you count all the proposed investment scams that fizzled before they became shovel ready, you might have a point, however.

PS: You have no idea where I live; however, residing inside a sewage lagoon is not required for one to describe the smell.

OK, NO more downtown v everywhere else crap. You've done it on enough threads lately so go to one of those. Stick to the post topic.

When the crooks control the law, time to get the hell out, quickly!

I suppose Barb Dunn was on a smoke break when all the votes were appearing, disappearing, reappearing...

10:55, as has been pointed out here many times already, Dunn has nothing to do with these results other than being a receiving/disburing/storage point. Once the ballots are received in her office, she stamps them as received, gives them to the Dem/Rep parties, and the parties then process them. All documents are stored in Dunn's office, but the parties are responsible for their maintaining the documents.

In this case, the Dems have not done a proper job of handling the election materials. And, assuming McMillan contests this election, the specifics of the way this has been handled will become quite evident.

Its not over yet - the fat (and pink) lady hasn't sung.

The fat, pink lady is not going to sing! McMillin will not concede to a low life thug. he knows good and well this race has been intentionally manipulated by many in the democrat party. If these idiots are stupid enough to certify it - the fun begins. I hope many, many of these people go to jail just like the NAACP executive Lessadolla Sowers did in Tunica on July 31. 5 years the scum gets behind bars to think about how she abused the rights our ancestors died for. I hope she is soon introduced to the biggest butch in the prison. She voted 10 times in 10 different names. No doubt we will find out dead people voted on Aug 2, 2011. Can't wait!!! And that McInnis freak is the first to go down. It will be fun to watch.

Dead people did vote in this election! And people voted multiple times! And people voted in Hinds County who don't live in Hinds County! With the shoddy way the voting polls were run, I could have said I was Big Bird and those dunces would have given me a paper and let me sign in and vote.
