What is the connection between those NEJax boxes and the Belhaven #9 box?

How are the elections in 2009 and 2010 germane to 2011? On the surface those are apples-to-oranges comparisons.

what the comparison is, my friend, is the number of total voters, even though they were totally different elections. It does tell a strong story of lower turnout this election. When the 2010 (which was nothing but a judicial race) turnout is higher than a statewide primary election, that's newsworthy. The 2009 is slightly different, it was a city election. But still, the turnout in a city election for Mayor - with NE Jxn having a large turnout compared to this statewide primary - is still newsworthy.

This turnout - compared to the 2010 - taken at roughly the same time - is anemic. And, in the world of real politics, that's news.

Thanks Pete but I knew all of that. I was interested in Kingfish's cockneyed explanation.

Maybe you can share the connection Pete, my good friend, between Belhaven #9 and the NEJax boxes considering all the boxes in-between that were left out?

Because it was nearby. That good enough for you?

Oh it is more than that Kingfish.

GO Sheriff Mac!!! President Obama is counting on you!!! Go Democrats!!! GO Hinds County Democrats!!!

Just heard from Clinton that:
1. some people are mad as hell
about the school consolidation
issue [voting for Tate]; and
2. Everybody else is voting Dem.
for Mac

I've heard the opposite from Clinton.

Why were so many Obama/Biden supporters from Belhaven, Fondren and NE Jackson, encouraging conservative Reublicans to vote in the Democratic Primary this year?

Go HINDS Democrats!!! Show those teabaggers who really packs the stones!!!

Dorsey,

I'm Tyrone Lewis!

Tyrone - "YO New Sheriff". Thank you very much.....

Will we ever be done with all Barbour's and their cronies?

KF I surprised at your precinct 33 totals. I voted in the GOP primary at 2 and was 237. I heard many of my GOP friends in Hinds say they were going to vote in the DEM primary either to rid us of Mac or to vote for him.
Mac screwed himself with his handling of Irby.
But, also, school starts earlier people and the last two weeks before school starts back is NOT a good time to do this. When school started later, this was OK. Politicians need to keep up with real world life.
And, there's both parties successfully convincing us that our vote doesn't matter anymore. We'll get arrogant jerks who don't want to solve problems but want to help their party buddies no matter what we do.

By the way, I like Tyrone telling the criminals of Hinds that they'd better find a new place to live. He sounded like Mrs. Malaprop delivering his speech, but the sentiments were fairly encouraging. If he wants the black folks to be able to sit on their porches without fear, that's a better goal than making sure some poor little rich boy stays out of trouble.

Mac screwed himself with his handling of Irby.

Yup. Big campaign contributions are a hard drug to kick.

comment regarding Pre. 33 (Casey) I am still impressed with the excellent service and
professional conduct of the Poll Officials (voted R)
good Job!
