Where does David Archie live? That t'is the question as a Judge tries to figure out if the Hinds County District 2 Supervisor-Elect will indeed remain the Supervisor-Elect. Archie beat incumbent Darrell McQuirter in a runoff election on August 27 by 125 votes. However, McQuirter challenged his election, arguing his opponent lives in District 1 and thus is disqualified from running for Supervisor in District 2.
McQuirter filed a challenge with the Hinds County Democratic Executive Committee. The Committee rejected the challenge. He sued Archie in Hinds County Circuit Court. A hearing was held Monday and Tuesday.
Archie claims he lives at 3426 Shady Oaks Street in Jackson in District 2. However, Mr. Archie currently resides at 5852 Clubview Drive in District 1. Mr. McQuirter argued the Clubview residency disqualifies Archie from representing District 2 for several reasons:
* Archie moved his voter registration from 1402 Collier in Jackson to the Clubview address in 2007. He moved the voter registration again to the Shady Oaks address in 2010.
* The USPO returned a jury summons for "insufficient address unable to forward."
* Election Commission received a confirmation card that was undeliverable to the Shady Oaks address.
* The Shady Oaks house was unoccupied during the election.
* The Shady Oaks home had no water service from December 2017 to August 26, 2019, the day of the election. The would-be supervisor owed $1,240 on his water bill.
* Entergy electric meter was removed and the cover of the box was missing. Atmos gas meter was removed.
* Building permit tag suddenly appeared on the property on September 6, 2019.
* Archies sued their insurance carrier for denial of coverage of a claim involving their swimming pool at the Clubview property. The pro se lawsuit states they live at 5852 Clubview Drive.
* His wife owns two Mercedes and a Honda Accord registered at the Clubview address. Mr. ARchie owns a 2011 Tundra truck registered at the same address although he owns a 2003 Silverado truck registered at Shady Oaks.
* The Archies have a LLC, HZ Investments, that is registered to the Clubview address since 2014.
* The Archies filed a pro se lawsuit against Travelers Insurance in July that stated they live at 5852 Clubview Drive.
JJ reported in 2017 that JPD arrested Mr. Archie for domestic violence. The police report stated the Archies lived at the Clubview address. Earlier post and copy of police report.
Hinds County property records state the Clubview home has an assessed value of $121,000 and has homestead exemption. The Shady Oaks house has an assessed value of $16,000.
It must be noted that Mr. Archie's driver's license cites the Shady Oaks address as his home.
Mr. Archie replied in court he was renovating the Shady Oaks house and intended to move back into it. His answer submitted to the court states that he used the Shady Oaks address to qualify to fun for office no less than five times. He said "his wife owns property at 5852 Clubview Drive." However, the county landrolls state the property is owned jointly by both Archies. He said he is not on the insurance or mortgage for the home.
Mr. Archie said he didn't have enough information to know if the Shady Oaks home had an gas or electric meter box. He accused anyone of inspecting the boxes of committing criminal trespass.
Attorneys Rayford Chambers and Dennis Sweet represent Mr. Archie. The case was assigned to Special Circuit Judge Lamar Richard.
Kingfish note: Does this home look inhabited? Judge for yourself. This is the Shady Oaks home. The Kingfish had a professional photographer pass by the home ON THE PUBLIC STREET and take these pictures the day after the election and a day later.
However, once the rumblings about an election challenge hit the street, the house was suddenly cleaned up.
Hmm.... perhaps McQuirter should have subpoenaed the kids' school records. It would have been interesting to see what the registered address would be on those records.

if my fellow R Clinton dwellers would have voted in the Democratic primary like I did, this wouldn’t even be in court. but i guess they wanted to make sure a good ole boy like Tater didn’t get beat by that liberal waller fellow...
Throw his ass out. Since Nissan he feels like the Archie's can do whatever they want.
Shocked that nowhere in Archie's response did he refer to McQuirter or anybody else as a 'low down dirty dog'.
Waller's candidacy was a fraud. It will all come out after the election.
Didn’t some Canton alderman do time for similar BS?
Trap house.
Most people would back down from a sham after the matter is appealed to an actual Court of Law and perjury becomes a possibility. Not Archie. There's no shame in his game... Beware Hinds County.
Yep, grill on front porch. It's occupied.
No popcorn shown in photos, but I got mine!
12:57 - Waller ran for statewide elective office. Are you suggesting he's not a resident of Mississippi?
A qualified elector of the county and a resident in the district in which he/she seeks election. Miss.
Code Ann. §19-3-3; Miss. Const. of 1890, Art. XII, §250.
It would seem the issue is where he currently resides. The fact he owns the home,or what he did in the past really isn't germane to the case. By his own admission, he did not currently reside in District 2 on August 26.
His attorneys aren't doing him any favors either, because a spectacular case for voter fraud, tax evasion, and perjury is forming. Even in the filings they continue to state that he currently resides at the District 2 address.
Not too bright...
P.S. If someone really wanted to troll this dude, they could refer the home to the code enforcement office, and the living conditions to the health department.
Grab a chair and watch this dumpster burn!
If David Archie is a bachelor, this could very well be his primary address. Kinda looks like my apartment after a long week at work.
It is amazing to me that a candidate for a public trust would perpetuate a provable fraud of where one resides. One resides where one receives homestead exemption with the key word being "homestead".
What is it going to cost him in taxes now that he is going to lose homestead exemption on the more expensive house. He should of course lose it immediately since he is under oath saying he does not live there.
So Archie says he was renovating the Shady Oaks house and intended on moving back into it ? But yet it's had no water or electricity for almost 2 years. Man, those renovations, on a house with less than 1200 sq ft, sure are taking a long time. Maybe because it's hard to renovate a house when you have no electricity in it.
Oh, I'm sure he planned on leaving a much bigger and nicer house, with a gated driveway and a pool, in a nice neighborhood next to a former country club, so he can quickly get back into a much smaller house with no gate, no pool, and no country club in one of the worst and most dangerous parts of Jackson. If that's true, we don't need such a stupid person in office.
I don't think that breaker box is up to code.
I like what they have done with the landscaping with that natural look.
Sam Begley uses and loses this sham argument every time someone gets elected who won’t grease his tiny palms.
He could live there. It would fit right in with the culture and the neighborhood.
Here do all these doubters come from?
Cordless tools let u git-r-dun even when the meter has been pulled.
Takeout means you can eat before the granite countertops and professional quality appliances have been installed.
Cooler with some ice means it can be beer-o-clock anytime even though the refrigerator hasn't been delivered yet.
Garbage bag in a empty mud bucket means you got a working bathroom when you need to drop a deuce and Big John's or Churches are closed.
Yall already seen the grill installed on the front porch.
If there was some way to require that he and his wife have to actually live in that house for his entire term, this whole matter would be moot. The hustle only goes so far.
Me Archie, is JUST ...the person that Hinds County Deserves !
Not too long ago a candidate for Mayor of Biloxi pulled this same stunt. Clearly living out of the City then swearing up and down he lived in district. He lost of course and still can't figure out why.
Think a similar situation happened to the ex mayor of Gulfport. IIRC the feds got involved.
If a politician or candidate will lie about where they live to get elected you can expect much worse if they actually do.
But no one on this page is the judge. Let the court decide. Right? Isn’t this a democratic society? Dont forget. Opinions are like a$$ holes. Everybody has one but they don’t mean s$it!!
That shack identifies as his residence, so there.
to 1:46....perjury? thats a laugh. ive practiced criminal law in jackson for 31 years and i have seen one, count em, ....one person ever prosecuted for perjury. i t does not happen. lying , even under oath ,is the nation pastime in this third world backwater.
Sam Begley uses and loses this sham argument ...
Tell that to Jim Evans.
There is now LAW that say a person must have water or lights. The law states that TAXES MUST BE PAID. People have the freedom to live how ever they want too..
So who revokes his homestead exemption?
@1:55 - The dang Germans got nothing to do with this. - Buford T Justus
8:05 - Nobody. The county office simply will not let you claim two under the same title name. Maybe the guy at 10:30 who has practiced criminal law for 31 years can opine with another appeal to authority.
I see @7:19 Mr. Archie reads JJ.
Let’s play “Where do Ed & Barbara Blackmon Live”..... They damn sure don’t live where they report their residence to the Secretary of States office. But the Secretary of State is scared of the Blackmons, so rules don’t apply to them.
Yeah, that where he stays.
I actually thought Robert Graham was working to become a legit representative. Stupid me.
What grasping wretched people make up the people who run for office in Hinds County. You would think Archie would be shamed and embarrassed by being caught in this farce and withdraw, but no, there is opportunism to be practiced. This is just a metro hot for the entire state.
Go McQuirter! I am praying you win this case. No county in any state deserves to be represented by Archie. The man is not sane enough to serve. He is "Certifiable" even tho' the Dem's committee certified him!
David Archie has no shame. His wife that he beats was actually defending him. What a whack job she is. He's embarrassment to society
A district that elected Archie, especially considering that many knew he didn't even live in the district, deserves him.
