Jackson Jambalaya

Since all voter fraud in Mississippi involves democrats...may we should change the Irish word used, "shananigans" to "Shanaynayians"

What's laughable is the idea that voter i.d. will solve voter fraud issues. It seems that the whole system is corrupted if anyone is allowed by the poll workers to walk into a voter booth with the voter.

What's laughable is the idea that voter i.d. will solve voter fraud issues.

Thanks for the red herring. Got any crackers?

Sounds like bullshit to me, you know whu'I'm sayin'?

Tell you what 11:39. If you live in Hinds County go over to the county webpage and hit the link "Where Do I Vote". Punch in your street name and look around. There are only 2 voters living in my Fondren home but the database of "active" voters shows 5 registered voters at my address. I know who the other 3 are. They are dead and have been for a long time but when it comes to the voter rolls in a Democrat stronghold like Hinds County you never die. My sweet next door neighbor died almost a decade ago. But she's still registered to vote. I see her name on the Precinct 17 voter list every election. You can be naive and believe if you must that the dead aren't voting but they are. VoterID won't solve all the voting fraud issues and no one honestly considering the issues claims that it will. VoterID also won't stop all the dead from voting but it sure as heck will stop 95% of them from doing so.

Assisted voting is allowed but is rampantly abused.

I have no doubts the story is true.

Witnessed a tall African-American woman help more than a dozen people vote at Spann in 2008.

She did not have a quiet voice.

She told every one of them to vote for Obama.

Complained to poll workers.

They said there was nothing they could do to stop her because the voters were stating they needed assistance.

Every voter said the same thing about needing assistance.

It was obvious they had been coached to memorize a script.

11:39 here. I'm ALL for voter id. But the problems go WAY beyond the identity of the voter. If you had legitimacy on every level of the process, voter id wouldn't be necessary. Also, do you think those checking the ids of the voters in these problem precincts will bother with id anyhow? The system is so corrupt that anything other than wholesale culture change within the process will leave you foaming at the mouth over the ridiculous nature of the blatant corruption.

....and you're naive to think that it will affect 95% of voter fraud. I wish you were right. But these poll workers are WATCHING these shenanigans take place right in front of them! They will laugh at the notion that they are supposed to be carding these living and dead voters.

No one is ever going to do anything meaningful with voter fraud cause its so hard to catch. Its controlled at the point of vote. Someone would have to put hidden cameras in every voting booth to catch them and then that might not work. You cant use a spy because they all know each other from working the voting precinct year after year. The only real way to eliminate it would be to have state agents man every voting precinct and not allow ANY locals to be involved. Cost would be to great and That would require extensive revision of the voter laws. That aint going to happen. Then there are the ABSENTEE votes. These are easier to manipulate. If someone has a good idea..throw it out there and lets hear it.

The most important question about the video report...who is the hot reporter?

Kingfish, any chance you have a link to the ballot box article in the update?

You beat me to it 2:23. Her name is Rachel Beech .
And because she was a WLBT intern a few years ago, I believe should should be included in the next Hot reporter poll.

What's the latest on all the absentee ballots sent to the jail? As far as who the reporter is, that's why they sign off at the end of their report with station id and their name.

Appears to be Rachel Beech. According to WDAM.

You really want the truth on why I didn't do the poll for awhile?

The talent kind of dried up for awhile. New reporters in town went from being hot chicks to emos.

I still don't think Canton is correct and I commend Ray Rosamond for going door to door and checking if anyone is living at those addresses and/or they bare lots.

Maybe we need the NSA to monitor our elections.

"If you had legitimacy on every level of the process, voter id wouldn't be necessary."

Damn 1:57; You mind if I write that down?

Yup, sure. The old whole loaf or nothing strategy. If it can't be fixed completely top to bottom don't fix nothing. 1:57 is a wannabe who got their bell rung then bagged the rest of the game on the sidelines.

I now know how to capture a good BVAP % for R candidates and it has always been staring me in the face: hot girls. Just have hot girls cruise around the neighborhood, pick-up guys and walk them right into the booth.

They don't have any good ideas. They just throw out the "voter id solution" (which I voted for, but know it won't fix much) and hope for the best. They're really just content with pissing off Rickey Cole and the like. I say you DO put mics and cameras in each voting station and record this stuff as it happens. It's when the first two dozen go to jail for voter fraud or intimidation that you begin to get the "whole loaf".

After I thought about it, kingfish is correct.

Reporter hot'ness has declined in the Jackson news market.

Monica Hernandez will forever be # 1 with many of us. WWL is lucky to have her.

Back to the topic, ...Hattiesburg has been using the
Canton & Fayette election model for quite awhile.

Why is anyone surprised ?

Video surfaces showing 'gentleman' entering vault where unsecured ballots sit. Had the races been reversed, black SUVs would be all over Hattiesburg.

Speaking of media hotties; have you noticed that 16 WAPT has hired Eric Law. He does the early morning weather, replacing Megan, who left. Who the hell interviews these people???

The biggest stink in H'Burg is the USA Yeast imbroglio brought about by MDA, Johnny Dupree and a well known attorney in State politics respected for his expertise in contract law. The solution to undue the damage will cost residents over $1.5,000,000,000. The lagoons were never designed to treat the effluent from USA Yeast. The bigger question is why the Mississippi DEQ did not intervene with warnings of the design limitations before the ten-year contract was signed.

There are many unusual things here in Hattiesburg.. voting was just the tip... the average income for the workers is about $35,000.00 a year... so how can all these african americans afford all these $200 to $ 300 thousand dollar homes? They also drive pretty new looking cars and trucks and all sorts of bling added to them... my question is who is footing the bill on it all? The race card is always being played out whenever you notice things are not quite right in the neighborhood. That is because they do not want you to know all the deals on how they work the system to be found out.
