When is the court hearing on the election? Will the Commissions actions change anything?

So, what happened? Is Westbrook going to take the votes? WTH?

Holy crap! Just watched the video. Seems like it wouldn't be hard to get a DUI on the lady in the house coat. Tucker needs to assign a special unit to tailing her. Those three make the Hinds County Election Commission look like Mensa members.

Do y'all think anyone is going to run against these clowns? Surely there is someone in district 2?

What is this foolishness? Who are these people?

Is this racial disparity?

With Mrs Westbrook going out there is no telling what she will do. What ever she does it will be what the law says.

Elections have consequences. Karl Banks and Greg Brand now control the elections in Madison County.

Westbrook will not do anything with this. She (unlike the commissioners) understand the law and isn't about to break it for these (or any other) idiots.

The boxes containing the materials from the election are to be sealed and to remain sealed until a judge (Lackey) says otherwise, since a contest has been filed. The commissioners no longer have anything (Legally) to do with the election; but evidently they either think they do or they don't care about the law - or both!

Bet your sweet ass that Westbrook ain't breaking the law in her last few days in office. Hope that her replacement (heavily backed by Greg Brand in campaign) has sense enough to learn something about her new position before she decides to follow the path well worn in Madison County to Rudy's place.

Will this shit ever end? Every day we see more and more crap in the media about these clowns attempting to write laws, change laws, ignore laws and pretend there ARE no laws.

Mike Espy (For The People) is supposed to be advising this gaggle of clowns. Speaks well for both his expertise and THEIR dependency on incompetent council.

District 2,4 and 5 need to get familiar with the election code and stop making things up. District 1 and 3 are the only ones with any sense.

This clip of a meeting is probably the most racist talk I have heard in 40 years. What is this us and them? Were they elected by voters or just "us" or just "them"? Who do they represent, the voters in toto or just "us"? Better straighten up or we need to bring in the law. Hate speech.

Mr. Espy doesn't advise or represent the Election Commission.

Oh, you think not? Mr Espy advises whoever Barbara Blackmon tells him to advise. You live in Jackson and do not understand the inner-working of politics north of County Line Road.

any proof of an Espy-Blackmon connection besides the fact they are both black?

There has never been an honest election in Ms. Not likely to happen either. It would be much better and more honest to flip a coin instead of allowing the people to vote multiple times, dead people voting, and people coming from other areas to vote.
Better yet, let the politicians get in the ring and fight for what they want. That isn't much different than what we now have.

The race of Espy and Blackmon is irrelevant. It's the politics that matters. They're both long-time, die-hard Canton Democrats with a large degree of control of the voter base. Dig a little deeper, Kingfish, instead of your usual 'surface reporting'.

Again, and this has been requested numerous times, can you please state a timeline, including DATE with these posts. Your lead post says 'today', but it's not what clear WHAT day you're talking about. It would be helpful to have a date stamp on these reports. Thanks.
