Jackson Jambalaya

Who cares what some guy nobody ever heard of has to say about some election in po-dunk Mississippi anyway? Go video some more silliness in Jackistan if you are bored my friend.

Well, the thing that I take away from that disgusting display in Hattiesburg is that after 60 years of blacks crying about voter intimidation and so on, is that the process has come full circle and now it is the whites that have been "disenfranchised" and no one cares. Further, blacks have figured out that no one is going hold them accountable for anything they say or do so people like Ike Brown can set in motion as much fraud and intimidation as they want to. The prevailing environment in regard to local elections statewide now fits the definition of anarchy. I DO long for the "good old days"....

Something about this election still doesn't smell right. Just when you think you've seen it all, a dimocrap steals a Jatran bus in Jackson.

Dude must have thought the bus needed a night out, too!

Don't think that Councilman Dave Ware won't "put master" on Johnny Dupree--thank you, Enoch Sanders-- over his lack of action in pursuing the Johnny Miller Roofing Co. bonding company. Probably, there was no bond?. And that sweetheart contract "underwriting" in the USA Yeast affair stinks, too.

11:05 a.m. whines about some non-existant white voter "disenfranchisement" instead of accepting the reality that his candidate was beaten by Mayor Dupree worse than he beat him the first time. Thank God that his/her version of the "good old days," when only white people could vote, is gone forever.

Okay. So the fact that the box from one of the biggest precincts (the Rowan precinct) takes five hours to travel five miles and then arrives without a seal on it is no biggie. After all, Mr. Wilson tells us that after the most aggressive and focused training effort by the Secretary of State (SOS) ever, all that matters is the number of ballots inside matches his count of voters. Besides, Johnny DuPree won by 200+ votes.

Of course, I’m sure our Democrat brethren would be equally understanding if the shoe was on the other foot. For instance, I’m sure they wouldn’t first claim election fraud (even though an unsealed box being transported is one of the first election law prohibitions taught by the SOS) and then go digging for evidence to prove the violation was material…. or would they? The Democrats wouldn’t hastily make the incendiary claim that whites in Hattiesburg (who are now a minority voter block) are suppressing the African American vote and trying to steal the election…… or would they? They wouldn’t immediately file multiple lawsuits claiming election law violations and then promptly drop all but the one that gave them the most sympathetic judge…….. or would they? They wouldn’t use their politically connected friends to contact the State and US Attorney Generals to politicize what should be an impartial process ……. or would they?

No wonder our nation is no longer a place governed by laws. The game requires both sides to fight. However, when one side like the one represented by Mr. Wilson is so ready to concede that nothing inappropriate happened when it is so very clear that an important election law was indeed violated, what are we to think? More importantly, what are we to do? One side is fighting with a beautifully adorned, competition-fencing sword. The other is fighting with guns, knives and brass knuckles. Predicting the winner is not difficult.

Loved Corey's comments on the federal observers and what they should be worried a out.

For the guy who wrote the first comment, Corey is paid to write columns so someone must think he's worth reading. And he knows more about election law than just about anyone in the state.

Any way you shake it the 2nd election was a major loss for Precious and the Waterboy.

10:21 p.m., the problem is there is no proof of what you speculate happened. When a person goes to court to make an allegation that laws were broken, be he Republican or Democrat, that person must have enough persuasive, admissible evidence to prove such a strong allegation. It's easy to speculate in a blog comment about what allegedly happened.

Mr. Wilson is right; Mr. Ware lost fair and square.

Mississippi's "civilized appendages" have become unglued! For the 49% disinfranchised voters of this State there must be a some other option for those who want to drop out of the electoral rat race. One option would be for our legislature to offer a bill that would waive school tax property levied on home owners and farmers who agree to have their name purged from the voter rolls. Why should childless couples, home schoolers, retired folks, Mennonites and others who send their kids to private/parochial/ church schools be forced to pay for public school construction and operations? The $14,000,000 Noxubee County High School out on US Highway 45 was mostly paid for by punitive property taxed levied upon the backs of the disinfrachised voters of Noxubee County.
