Jackson Jambalaya

Massive turnout in Brandon since the last cycle. My opinion that favors Bo.

It is frightening that a lying incompetent mayor could be re-elected with 75% of the vote.

Maybe the nutjob in Pelahatchie will run against "lying Lumumba" next time.

Chokwe Antionette: "Let them drink water."

In 2017, Chokwe got 55% of the vote in a crowed field of nine. He got ten times the vote of that disaster Yarber (18,803 vs. 1,843) who finished in fourth behind Graham and Horne. If you live in Jackson and bitch, you should of voted in the Dem Primary because that's when the Mayor gets elected. Pretty sad state of affairs that only three ran this time. The sheep will vote Chokwe in for a second non-productive term. My bet - 65%

No good news for Jackson. Clinton's Mayor loses control of his board to a senile couple aka Ricky Martin. Nothing changes in Ridgeland. Are there any other races even contested?

Chokwe wins.

He gets 2 billion straight from Joe Biden.

Bypasses tate greeves

Jackson moves forward with infrastructure plans and a bright future.

Eric “Uncle Eddie “ Fox for the sweep in Brandon!

Hopefully Bo in Brandon... Jackson well does it really matter? Too bad no one ran against Jake in Pearl, hope to unseat the Alderman at large in Pearl...

Chokwe can’t be defeated, not in Jackson, Mississippi.

YES 7:13 is right! He’s dead on the money. Chokwe gets Jackson $2B and miraculously Jackson becomes a Mecca for financial success. Clean running water for all and no more wastewater issues. Crime rate drops lower than Madison and jobs galore. Good paying jobs for the students graduating the revamped JPS system. Money is the panacea to transform Jackson and set it on a bright future. It will happen!

Antar fails to make the runoff. He is finished.

KF, can you do a ward-by-ward analysis of the vote. It would be interesting to see how Lumumba does in Stokes's ward versus the other wards.

Stokes cannot get anything from Antar. He thinks he can win without Stokes. He fails to get south Jackson...he loses.

700 - interesting Clinton prediction. How'd it work out?

Ricky lost big - how did her candidates do?

One month ago residents of the city had no water and houses smelled like raw boo boo. Tonight the man in charge of that fiasco gets re-elected easily.

Only in Jackson.

To run for mayor of Jackson you must have something else on your mind. Otherwise it just ain't worth it. No politician will solve Jackson's problems.

@9:38PM

I been saying it. Anyone expecting a politician to solve the issues which plague the city is completely delusional. Politicians lie. Voters elect and re-elect politicians on those same lies, not to mention there were/are no candidates whom pose much of a challenge to Lumumba. I’m telling you the God honest truth.

A vote for Chokwe Boo Boo is a vote for the future, or lack thereof, of the bold new city. Smells like Boo Boo, and it's all because of systemic capitalism from a long, long time ago.

When Stokes is ringing the truth, it's time for somebody to turn the lights out on their way out of Jackson.

Boo Boo. Raw Boo Boo.

pitiful voter turnout in Jackson. Pitiful that people don't understand that this primary could have ousted Lyin' Lumumba. Pitiful that we don't have any viable options to vote for

Here is a test. If it walks and smells like raw Boo Boo, and it talks and looks like raw Boo Boo, then which is it: (a) Jackson's failing infrastructure problem; (b) Jackson's mayor making excuses for it; or (c) both.

Hinds County getting $46MM CARES ACT MONEY. WHAT TIMING.... talk about "betting on the come.."

I voted today for the Honorable Mayor Lumumba. He is our only hope to continue Jackson's downward spiral to a solid third world city; a city that Caracas, Venezuela would be proud to call a sister-city; a city with the highest per capita murder rate in the U.S.; a city where MLK Jr. is ashamed to have a street named after him.

Thank you Jackson voters for supporting the economic growth of the cities surrounding your rapidly declining municipality. Your kid emperor wears no clothes and the only thing certain is there will be far fewer of y'all left in 2025 holding the bag and ignorantly pretending otherwise. We welcome your economic immigrants (and their tax dollars) where they can live without the continual fear of violent crime and send their children to good schools. Yes, the metro (and Mississippi) will do just fine as you pursue the destructive path your ideologue has your city chasing. Good luck, but we all know you don't need it.

VICTORY PARTY AT THE MURDER BAR!!!!

Only 19,000 people voted. I think that says it all....

Canton quiet as a church mouse pissing into a cotton ball. City Hall parking lot packed last night. Wonder who they decide will win, you know, for the "voters" sake..

The alternatives to LL in the primary were even worse. Same for the general.
Better to stick with the devil we know in this case.

@6:51 IMO a low voter turnout is equal to widespread silent support for the incumbent.

9:12, that’s why you shouldn’t drink on election date. Ricky Garrett and every candidate who supported her won big. Everybody the mayor supported lost.

I hope Biden does give Jackson some money and they can somehow entice their "shoppers" to do business there once more. They have basically over run some of the nice areas around their fair ghetto. I'm sure some merchants and sales tax collectors in Madison and Rankin like them but.....

I guess Lyin' "Boo Boo" Lumumba will claim that he has a mandate from the people as he won by a landslide. Too bad there was no real challenger to this fellow. Oh Well.

"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

Lu-Boo-Boo remains mayor of Sugar Ditch.

The determinant is that he doesn't support requiring people to work. Nothing else matters. Raw boo boo ain't that bad. Ima get me some hussel and buy bottle water anyways.

Maybe Bo Luckey will look for ways to earn political chops and gain experience so voters have more confidence he should be handed the keys.

Eric Baldwin. One. Hundred. Two. Votes. C'mon man! Obviously his terrible reputation precedes him.

How can you claim a mandate if voter turnout is so low?

Democrats claim it all day long knowing the press will never look into the actual details nor ask the same question you are asking.

9:19 AM......

Let me guess, you believe in the Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny and Epstein didn't kill himself (not that it matters to me)..... I just want to know who is going to be Epstein in Welcome Back Kotter remake!

" I'm sure some merchants and sales tax collectors in Madison and Rankin like them but....."

Gawd yes.

Why do think there's a Costco across the border ?

Plus ... if a Jacksonian should act "ignorant or show out" in that County, it's almost a guaranteed
week long vacation in the Madison County Detention Center ... before friends and family can raise bail money.

The Madison County Detention Center is not a pleasant place to visit, (mush less having to spend a few nights).

No automatic blessings or "catch and release" in Madison County !

But back to the topic.

If Jacksonians want Antar, good for them.

They get what they elect.

Sad that no more voted than did!

I don’t know what any of you are talking about...
Jackson, Mississippi is “pregnant with possibilities.”

@12:13

Ok, who knocked up Jacktown ?
