Come now KF! Don't expose the underbelly of the "entitlement crowd"! Rules be's for us, rules don't be's for them.

Another thought...those pole squatters that allowed him to vote illegally surely knew where he lived (in another county) but allowed him to vote anyway....I would think they should be held accountable too.

What if they weren't voting but kept their names on the rolls so that votes could be cast in their names?

just how were those 'pole squatters' supposed to know that? all they have is the poll book to look at. might be a reason why the dems don't want voter id, though.

@7:27AM because your ID has your address on it. Therefor if you are voting in Hinds county and your ID list your address in Madison county the "pole squatter" is obligated to turn you away. When I voted this last time ( uncle thaddeus VS. the kkk ) the "pole squatter" matched my ID with my name and address before I was allowed to vote. It is not rocket science.

How much did they charge you per record KF?

You really think the poll workers didn't know where this couple lived? Or rather, for sure, where they DID NOT live? Sure they did. And what the hell does that post about leaving their names on the rolls so votes could be cast in their name mean?

Since long before voter ID, I was asked what my address is as soon as I stated my name. Anon at 7:51 is an idiot and has no business voting, judging by his parenthetical remark.

I have the following questions:

Is the property in Hinds still owned by one of the Martins?

Is there evidence that one or both voted in both counties?

What are the laws governing residence? For example, if you own more that one residence , what are the time limits for transferring residence for purpose of voting/choosing a residence as the legal residence?

I suspect there is a potential hornet's nest here as people move within a several mile radius and getting around to changing their license at renewal time. With voter ID, there should be a match made by the poll worker, but it would match if the license hadn't needed to be renewed or the person kept the first property's ownership.

When I voted I used my state ID which has no address. I don't recall anything about having to prove your address when you vote.

Precious lived in Hinds County......

Homestead exemption? Can't have but one, or maybe they can.

He was a huge supporter of Barbara Dunn. Just wondering what perks that got him.

9:30, Please elaborate...

according to my primitive research the landroll records indicate homestead was claimed on the parisian address but not bridgewater address. he knew what he was doing. he didnt care if everyone knew where he really resided. he owned the home in jackson claimed it as homestead (even though it cost him a ton of money to do it) and knew it would hold up in court or whatever if someone brought it up. money cant buy everything though.

I never had to *prove* my address, 9:05, and I resented being asked for my address as I considered that a form of requiring identification; however, they have asked the question forever and I reluctantly gave it.

It was my position if I am the only person with my particular name on the book, then it makes no damned difference what my address is. If there were four of us, I could see axin' the question.

As to the suggestion that it's the duty of a poll worker to 'turn away' a voter who doesn't live in the district, not true. It's not the poll worker's responsibility to purge or update the books. Only to go by what the books show and who the voter appears to be.

Sounds like a moot point now.

"It was my position if I am the only person with my particular name on the book, then it makes no damned difference what my address is. If there were four of us, I could see axin' the question. "

How would you know how many people have the same name as you? I found out from my dry cleaners when I got the wrong shirts once. Since we live in the same neighborhood I assume we vote in the same precinct, since they now ask for my address before checking off my name.

"Sounds like a moot point now."

Possibly. I'll ask the tacky question everyone is thinking but not stating - was there a vote cast in his name at either address in the recent election? Both addresses?

This is pretty simple. If you are fortunate enough to own more than one home, you are allowed to claim your primary residence for the one upon which you claim homestead tax exemption.

Further, it's pretty common for people who have state registered ID cards or licenses to move from the address listed on those forms of proof. Especially if someone is a renter. I don't see how the voter ID crowd is getting up in arms about the address proof. As long as you are providing ID, your residence is difficult to confirm at best at the poll.

Precious Martin's family was in a small group that owned two permanent residences and had the choice of deciding where he wanted to claim homestead.

I find it hysterical that this guy went around branding African Americans who actually live in Jackson as Rankin County Republicans and sellouts while he resides in Madison and sends his kids to private schools. Jackson wasn’t good enough to live in, but it will do just fine to open up a liquor store. We all know what a fine establishment that the Taste and Sip Liquor Store must be. A real asset to the community! Precious was a true scoundrel. God have mercy on his slimy dark soul.

According to the Hinds County Landroll, the Martin's owned 4514 Parisian Drive since 12/09/1998 Warranty Deed 5029-0988 and filed
Homestead Exemption. They voted where they were suppose to vote. You FREAKS should just getover the fact that you are being out smarted. This was ALL legal. You just hate it was a BLACK that made you look stupid. DUMMY..

The martins were "Professionals" and knew/should have known the law. In court they would/should have been held to a higher standard. They can only have one homestead legally, and it wasn't in Hinds Co.

The Hds. County tax assessor mails out annual homestead renewal notices. His warning is "failure to notify the tax assessor's office of changes in the status of the homestead may result in a fine of up to $5,000. or two years imprisonment, or both."

um, @ 10:05 AM...your ADDRESS is already on the print out the "pole squatter" looks at prior to you signing the line next to your name AND address...geez..Save your resentment for something that matters.

@12:58 PM...wow, what a turd! Actually it has nothing to do with being "out smarted by a black" but has every thing to do with lying and cheating,something the Martin's were quite accomplished at doing.

the black mafia is alive and well and rigging all local elections. They need to be held accountable by the feds, wait, the feds are now part of the black mafia. We are all collectively fucked unless there is a revolution. Gonna happen.

Haven't the Blackmon's been doing this for years?

I think the every day people in Jackson are waking up. Those that have been asleep at the wheel are starting to notice the rampant corruption and cronyism and they don't like it. Not even when the ones doing it happen to be black.

You saw the results in the last mayoral election and in the last councilperson election.

By the way, I've been voting in Jackson for 15 years and I am ALWAYS asked to verify my address. Every.single.time. Even though it's usually the same poll workers there.

My question is - why did the Martins go to this expense and trouble? I have to believe there was a motive far beyond casting 2 measly votes in the occasional city of Jackson election...

When the city of Jackson awards contracts and contracts for services such as... oh, for example, legal services... is preference given to "Jackson residents"?

What is the Statewide Election Management System and how do you access reports from that system?

Mrs. Martin was Hinds County Attorney since 2003 and I feel certain residence is preferred. Wonder what address the children's school records use? Also, an automobile is supposed to be licensed where it spends the majority of nights. Did they have Madison County tags or Hinds County tags.

I believe another legislator besides the Martins and the Blackmons uses a Jackson address and lives in Madison County.

831-- When I asked this question, I was told by Madison county and Jackson county that it depended on where my homestead exemption was as well as where I purchased my car tag as they both should match the same county. They told me if my car was registered in Jackson County and my homestead exemption was in Jackson county (I lived between two houses) then I would have to vote in Jackson County. So I think they would probably need to check their car tag registration as well as their homestead exemption and if they voted in a county in which they did not claim homestead or have their car registered there then their votes should be voided. I am just going by what I was told by both counties. (also as a side note-they cannot rent their house in which they claim homestead exemption)

The Martin kids go to private school you dumb a$$. White people have been doing this since the begining of the process. Hell who wrote the process? You are getting beat at your on game and just can't stand it. The Martins own a law practice in Jackson and a house. They pay taxes on both. Anyway, why do you FREAKS care.

I think one of the court reporters is back.

These posts about white people getting beat at their own game are hilarious.

Hey anonymous, here's a newsflash for you:

Jackson is overwhelmingly black.

The black residents of Jackson are the ones being shortchanged by the games the Martins are playing.

All the white people are up in Madison, cozied up with the Martins. I'm sure they're enjoying a back-slapping good time at your expense. And I mean that quite literally... at your expense.

Wake up, man.

Always fun to read posts and comments from people that don't know rats&&t about what they are saying, but are trying to sound like they are smarter than others.

1) Homestead exemption does not define residence for voting purposes.
2) While you can own several residences, you can only claim Homestead Exemption on one - your primary residence.
3) It didn't cost Prescious anything to claim his exemption on his Jackson house rather than his Bridgewater mansion. H/E is limited to a fixed amount of savings on your taxes - the Martins were probably paying several thousand dollars a year in real estate taxes on both properties. Their H/E amounted to the max, no matter which property they claimed.
4) You are supposed to vote where you lay your head at night. If you may actually own residences in two different places and stay equally in both - say working in Desoto County Mondays and Tuesdays, and in Harrison County Thursdays and Fridays - you could claim either for your voting residence, but not both.
5) The Martins evidently voted illegally in Hinds County in the Mayor's race because they were no longer Jackson residents. Owning a house in Jackson and claiming exemption on it does not outweigh their 'living' in Madison.

But, the law has never bothered either of these two - check all their actions while stealing money from the taxpayers of Hinds County.

It does (did) cost him to claim homestead on Jackson home.
1. he owns (ed) the home -that cost money.
2. Homestead credit is $300 anywhere but it also assesses value at 10% instead of 15% of appraised value. It basically made his bwater taxes about $3000 more than with h/e assuming his house appraises similar to all the neighbors.

Good try 7:36. You probably got everything right but missed number 3. You sure tried to sound smart One can see exactly what he is( was) paying on both properties on the landrolls.

I guess the Martins would rather pay full property tax to their home city of Madison, and pay the City of Jackson the discounted homestead rate.

Guess they think Madison needs the extra money more than Jackson.

Actually, Bilgewater is in RIDGELAND - not Madison.
