Hinds County Sheriff Tyree Jones said Marshand Crisler's challenge of his election as Sheriff is is illegal in a letter sent to Circuit Clerk Zach Wallace today.
Crisler announced his challenge in a letter sent to the Circuit Clerk and the Sheriff yesterday, December 15.
Section 23 – 15 – 911 (1) states:
At any time within twelve (12) days after the canvass and examination of the box and its contents by the election commission or executive committee, as the case may be, any candidate or his representative authorized in writing by him shall have the right of full examination of said box and its contents upon three (3) days' notice of his application therefor served upon the opposing candidate or candidates, or upon any member of their family over the age of eighteen (18) years, which examination shall be conducted in the presence of the circuit clerk or his deputy who shall be charged with the duty to see that none of the contents of the box are removed from the presence of the clerk or in any way tampered with. Upon the completion of said examination the box shall be resealed with all its contents as theretofore.
The election was certified on December 3. Crisler submitted his notice on the 12th day. However, he did not submit a notice to the Sheriff until the 12th day.
Stay tuned.

It is exactly illegal but yet indications seem to show that Crisler will get his way . How ? Why ? Does the law even friggin matter anymore ?
4:13, I don't know what 'indications' you have that 'seem to show' that the law will be broken here - but I'll place my bet on the fact that Crisler will not conduct the box examination he requested.
In fact, all 'indications' I have seen are exactly opposite - that Crisler has already been advised that he will not be conducting a box examination. Now, next week, or ever.
If you are convinced that the law doesn't even friggin matter anymore, lets get together and make a wager on this one. Granted, I aint betting on much beind done correctly in Jackson or Hinds County, but I've got enough spare change hanging around to put it on what I see as an absolute safe bet.
Our new sheriff is better than our old sheriff - if nothing else he at least knows how to read the law and how to write an letter.
@4:13. Not in Hinds County.
Justice for Joosie! Justice for Joosie! Oops, wrong hoaxer. Justice for Marsheaund! Justice for Marsheaud!
Zach already sent him the official “no”. Marshand ain’t gonna come out of pocket for a court challenge. He is just setting the stage foe a 2023 run.
It ain’t up the the Sheriff.
They got the car jackers today. And Marshand got shot down. I’d call that a win in Hinds County.
Dang. Zach prob just cost me a good bet with 4:13 by publically changin the friggin indicators. Oh well, maybe next time.
If, in the County of Hinds, you rely on either the Sheriff or the Circuit Clerk for legal advice, you be a ripe fruit on the dumb-tree.
Only thing dumber would be relying on an opinion from the current Attorney General.
For as long as Crisler has been involved in local government and run for public offices in Jackson and Hinds County, it's amazing that he didn't already know this.
@9:00AM
Pure comedy.
