Jim Harreld is not taking his election day loss lying down but is fighting Karl Banks in Madison County Circuit Court. Former Madison County District 4 Supervisor Karl Banks (D) beat Republican Jim Harreld by 51 votes. Mr. Harreld filed a petition this afternoon contesting the election results.
The petition alleges a plethora of voting irregularities (Start on paragraph #6 on page 2). The case is assigned to Circuit Judge John Emfinger.

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

About 42 months from now, they will rule the election stands.
If all of the "wrongs" in number 6 can be proven, which I have doubt they can, there is no way that the election can't be thrown out. Having worked the polls in Madison County for a number of years I can say first hand that the election commissioners do everything in their power to properly train the workers, but I have seen poll workers at the training sessions texting on their phones and simply not paying attention. As a result, we have poll workers that have np idea what they are doing.
No, there is not now nor has there ever been any voter fraud in Mississippi. Oh, by the way, I have a piece of ocean front property in Arizona for sale.
Emfinger won't try the case. The Supreme Court has to appoint a judge in all these contests from another district.
In fact, it's already been taken up to the Supreme Court (Docket # 2019-AP-01758), and is now awaiting appointment of a judge.
Since Banks v. Bishop is still pending for Supreme Court decision, this means that there are now TWO active election contests, four years apart, pending for the same supervisor district.
Emfinger is bought and paid for by Republican Party.
Do this mean Karrl need to hold up on the black Tahoe or do it be OK for him to go head-on and recieve that ride? There is bidness gotta be done like movin' on with Griffin Lake Plaza and gettin' them Banks relations in place and Haruld can't be holdin' up all that. Plus people has texedo on lay-away for swear ceremony and all.
Madison County's Election Commissioners pretty much do as they please in their Districts. The District 4 Election Commissioner is a Democrat that has been in power for about 30 years working as a tool for Banks. She ignored all the election laws in the last election trying to overturn Bishop's win. I am sure her hand picked poll workers knew what they had to do this time. While the voting mess that has been identified in the legal document may be partly due to Azzie's worker's incompetence, I am sure most was deliberate.
Banks (with Azzie's help) is a master at manipulating the election process. With a thorough audit, I would not be surprised if they find 200 or more fraudulent votes counted in Bank's favor.
This will tighten Steen's sphincter up a bit.
Ruh, roh, that's a lot of irregularities. At a minimum it seems like a recount is necessary.
Yo Banks, don't pick up your new county/tax payer "ride" and cellphone just yet, and no travel advances until this is settled.
You didn't blow a wad on the lottery today did you?
Hopefully, the powers that be will go to great lengths to fully scrutinize these election results. Voting and election results in Madison County are nothing more than absolute cesspools. Rules are followed at very few of the polling places. Ballots are not handled as they should be and rules are something to be ignored. This district and Griffin’s district are the very worst. Federal poll watchers should be stationed at every precinct. Then and only then, will Madison County get fair and impartial election results.
Look for Steen's contractor friends to pump up Banks' defense fund. And Bishop's two top contributors (election and defense fund) will do likewise. Griffin will have all the churches in his district passing a similar hat.
See you in court in 2024
Phillette pack your bags girl
Time for daddy to get you a new gig
Karl’s election 4 years ago was stolen by the Republican machine and as of today, 4 years after the fact justice has still not been served because it would not be favorable for the Mississippi Republican Party. NOW the Mississippi Republican Party is pushing Jim Herrald to file this lawsuit while lining up the “good ole boy” judges to swiftly throw out Karl’s recent election. Fed better be paying attention. Many men died fighting for these very rights which are being undermined.
People have lost faith in our politicians AND if the judges in this country are not careful the people will cease to have faith in our justice system. For those who sit on the bench do you want your children raised in a lawless society? Are we already there?
As much as Gluckstadt voters that wanted to be the last one in i.e. oppose any further development of residential subdivisions like the one Bishop voted for on Deweese & Stribling roads i.e. want a visual deed to everybody else’s property (unless they themselves can make some money of course) deserve Karl Banks, Harreld needs to win this.
Madison County has already wasted too much money on engineering fees for jobs that were subbed out and/or projects that never happened.
6:44 - Your baseless assumptions aside, how do you account for all of the specific irregularities and violations contained in the above document?
And, as to justice not being done in the prior Banks defeat, you might recall it was Banks himself who kept bitching (causing delays) about the judge(s) being beholden to republicans. He pissed in his own whiskey which is what you do when you attempt to steal a certified election result.
You obviously are of the opinion that the county needs thirty to fifty years of democrat shenanigans, payoffs, Christmas envelopes, Quid Pro Quo votes, nepotism and skirt-chasing.
@6:44am
Hi Karl!! Them sho' some fancy faux words coming from an accomplished election fraudster. Only your Dimocrat constituents believe your race baiting BS so save it for when you are busing in your voters.
You stole the first election you won 35+ years ago. Even after the Feds gerrymandered District 4 to make it a strong Dimocrat majority, you only "won" your first election by 7 votes. And this was before we had voter ID to help control voter fraud. The Dimocrat controlled Election Commission then would not allow a recount in order to insure your "win".
After that you screwed the whole county for decades with Rudy Warnock, Mike Espy, the Griffin Lake, garbage landfill dumps and the bogus county airport project, etc., etc., that made you, Warnock and all your friends rich.
As far as the election 4 years ago, there was plenty of election high jinks going on with your District 4 Dimocrat Election Commissioner . How did a box containing the ballots from a strong Republican precinct "disappear" overnight and later found in an obscure closet no where near the secure room where they were supposed to be locked up?? Your people had keys to everything in Canton.
We voters don't really care whether our Supervisors are black, white, Dim or GOP. We DO want our supervisors to be HONEST. We want them work together for the good of all the county and to end the ongoing pissing contests that prevents progress in our county.
Having worked on more than a few campaigns for candidates of both parties, the simplistic ideas most people have of voter fraud is silly.
Dead people may have voted decades ago, but not now. Illegals don't register to vote, it's too risky and expensive. Most of you apparently don't remember going to the county clerk's office the first time.
If you've never been in the military except for the National Guard, you may not realize that you can only have 1 legal residence and you have to declare it. Can you cheat on this? Yes, but it is owning two homes and declaring the one in which you do not actually spend most of your time as the legal residence.
Here in our own State, McDaniel's search for fraud turned up nothing. In NC, 10 people who were on parole still thought they could vote but their parole was a few days from ending.
The biggest fraud and the one that is successful , is hiring people to go door to door and telling registered voters they will "vote for them " with an absentee ballot. This is appealing to those who don't drive any longer or who are ill. There is a case in NC. The man arrested for offering this " service" is a GOP operative who had offered this service for some time.( See voter fraud case in NC).
The fraud in Mississippi was often paying for those who are registered to vote for their guy. The " buy a vote" includes registering voters and transporting them on the condition they vote for a particular candidate. Payment happens at the end. Sadly, I suspect strongly churches have been involved in this. Preachers have shown up at every campaign on which I was working. Maybe it was a very,very long prayer. Or they joke about things as they walk out the door that aren't funny.
In Mississippi , ALL machines with a touch tone screen can be easily compromised. Ballot boxes can be altered if not properly secured.
And, if you don't believe computers can be hacked, you lack computer savvy.
But, the worst thing happening is that some of you believe anything you hear or read without any knowledge of the veracity ( truth) or competence( dumb as rocks or insane) of the source. Or, you are naïve in believing those you hear on " news" opinion shows who are receiving a paycheck and getting to rubbing elbows with the powerful to tell you what they think you want to hear or manipulate you.
The mantras I heard most often from national party headquarter representatives (of both parties) was the following:
People don't get out and vote or work on a campaign when they are content, only when they are fearful or angry ( I resented this the most as I was working for or against an individual candidate.
Most American voters have the comprehension level of a 5th grader.
Negative ads and " dirt" works. Neither has to be true.
Muddy the waters. Make the issue seem more complicated than it is. Offer information that doesn't apply ( false equivalency or relevancy).
PS Those in the upper ranks of politics do NOT respect you and they live very well as a result of you being to busy or too lazy to fact check and to gullible to ignore blatantly biased sources.
Where is the Public Integrity Division of DA office on this?
9:40 AM
you win the internet.....forever
I read 9:40's post twice and don't see a thing in it that relates to Banks or the known corruption in Madison County. I didn't see anything in the post about those arrested and convicted in Canton a month or so ago, with others on the radar. And obviously that poster has never been an observer in a split district polling place where people are given the wrong ballot accidentally (wink) or upon request.
He'll promptly give the new ride he gets to his wife and use the old one for himself. The Public Integrity Division of the DA office will not touch this due to Banks business being in Canton, THE sanctuary city of Madison County.
Dear God :
Please let this be a speedy legal process and allow Madison County to welcome Jim Harreld as the District 4 Supervisor.
Can I get an Amen!!!
If we draw the same judge who screwed Hays Dent out of his rightful election, this is a real shit show.
🙌 Amen!
Amen! 🙌
Hayes was in an election?
Yes, he was, 7:44. You really should pay attention. But, it was a federal judge who screwed him out of winning so that judge won't be in Banks' pocket on this one.
LAMAR PICKARD appointed to hear the contest.
Counselor Hey: Do you know if his is sort of a lottery drawing or how do the supremes make these choosings?
Chief Justice appoints from a list of Senior Active judges. Nothing particular other than not bring from the district. Sometimes being relatively close geographically may come into consideration, and the Sr Active Judge'a schedule.
6:02, not correct. Would be if this was a contest of a primary election but general election contest is to be heard by the local judge.
That is, of course, until the local judge or judges recuse themselve, which they always do. At that point the case is referred to the MSSC where the Chief then appoints a judge from elsewhere to hear the contest
7:02, it used to be like that 20 years ago, but since 2000 or thereabout, general election contests are heard by specially appointed judge. See here:
23-15-951 reads in part - "Except as otherwise provided by Section 23-15-955 or 23-15-961, a person desiring to contest the election of another person returned as elected to any office within any county, may, within twenty (20) days after the election, file a petition in the office of the clerk of the circuit court of the county, setting forth the grounds upon which the election is contested. When such a petition is filed, the circuit clerk shall immediately notify, by registered letter, telegraph, telephone, or personally the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court or in his absence, or disability, some other Justice of the Supreme Court, who shall forthwith designate and notify a circuit judge or chancellor of a district other than that which embraces the district, subdistrict, county or any of the counties, involved in the contest or complaint, to proceed to the county in which the contest or complaint has been filed to hear and determine the contest or complaint.
