Your vote does count and you have a chance to do something about Hinds County today if you live in District 2. The district includes part of Fondren and Belhaven. This website endorses Darrel McQuirter. Readers of this site are familiar with the debacle that is the Hinds County Board of Supervisors as the supes reach a new low on a regular basis. Sweetheart deals. Shakedowns. No-bid contracts. Broke budgets. They loot the E911 fund to funnel money to their friends while police and fire departments in Hinds County can't get radios they need to save lives. The current majority on the board schemed and screamed in an effort to deprive you of your right to vote today. Today is the day you can make a difference.
There are nine candidates for District 2 Supervisor: David Archie, Gus McCoy, Bo Brown, Willie Earl Robinson, Darrel McQuirter, Alberta Gibson, Leon Jones, Dorothy Benford and Ted Williams.
It's easy to knock government workers, and we do it from time to time here at
Jackson Jambalaya, but all Mr. McQuirter has done is serve. He served as the Fire Chief in Clinton. He served as pastor of his church for 15 years. He serves as director of permits and zoning for Hinds County. He's not the bombastic type as can be said about one particular supervisor. He's not a loudmouth who is only known for marching. He merely serves and gets things done. Mr. Brown served on the Jackson City Council. Nuff said. Gus McCoy was once head of the Mississippi NAACP. Comes out of the same crowd as Derrick Johnson and hasn't said a word about the One Voice fraud when he had a moral duty to do so, nor did he say a word when the Supervisors tried to avoid paying for primaries. There's also the fact he is supported by Jeff Good. Dot Benford: Racist nut job. Literally. Willie Earl Robinson is supported by Graham, Stokes, and Bennie. The others can be considered to be minor candidates.
If you are happy with the current direction of Hinds County, the actions of the Board of Supervisors, then vote for Willie Earl Robinson, David Archie, or Dot Benford. However, if you want to make a change, vote for Darrel McQuirter. He's not flashy, not loud, not looking to line a pocket or enrich a friend. He's just a solid citizen who has always protected and served. A shame more like him don't run for office.
Darrel McQuirter: Good enough for Hinds County.
Not good enough for Kenneth Stokes. Remember that when you go to the polls today.

That headline alone should get him in office.

there is money in selling the voting machines
My wife is out in Clinton trying to vote and just called to tell me she has been re-directed to 2 different polling places so far. I guess Canton political tactics are alive and well in District 4 today.
Of course Lt. Robert Graham wants to screw over Clintonians because that is McQuirter's base.
10:16 About like I suspected. Easier to hack, I imagine.
10:18 I vote in Clinton, and my usual stop was open and waiting.
I also vote in Clinton and was redirected to 3 places before I was able to vote. We did not receive any notification as to where our polling place was. First we went to where we voted last summer, they sent us to a church close to our house and they sent us to where we voted 2 years ago in the state elections where we were finally able to vote. I believe this was all Robert Graham and Kenny Stokes doing in order to keep people from voting. They figured after the second try people would give up. Well he does not know this gal. I am stubborn and hard headed and I don't give up.
I will vote tonight in Clinton, just checked my voter card & the online information for the location. Might need to put WLBT and Delbert in my phone before I go...
I checked my address and it has six ACTIVE voters. Last time I checked, there were only two....
So where is Al Hunter today? Oh I forgot, he is an "Independent" now.
i live in clinton--went to the usual polling place--open
This is why Phil Fisher and others went to court. Had a good case for appeal but no one in Clinton wanted to donate money to pay for legal fees so it stalled.
The title implies that being foolish is mutually exclusive. That type of simple thinking has our elections and therefore government(s) screwed up. Basically implying that ignorant people can only oppose good candidates, that enemies can only support other enemies(of ours/yours) and other nonsense.
