Did the Mayor Lose Because of Republicans?

Precinct reports posted below. Read & weep. 

So much for blaming "Republicans" as Mayor Lumumba and his ilk did prior to his election demolition last week.  It didn't matter who voted, the message was the same to the Mayor: GO HOME! How thorough was his defeat? The Mayor lost all precincts, almost always by wide margins. His best performance was 40% in a couple of precincts.  Total rejection.  

Mr. Horhn won 75% of the vote.  If Ward 1 is removed from the results, the State Senator still got 70% of the vote.  Removing Ward 7 from the math yields a paltry 67% for Mr. Horhn.  Yup, it's all the Republicans' fault.  

As usual, Ward 1 led the way in voting. 

Ward 1: 5,106 votes 

Ward 2: 4,839 votes

Ward 3: 3,361 votes

Ward 7: 3,437 votes

Ward 4: 3,028 votes

Ward 6: 2,714 votes

Ward 5: 2,337 votes

JJ obtained the unofficial precinct results. The JJ research team of Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe compiled the numbers for each ward and published them in spreadsheet format.   Posted below are the reports and some observations of some of each ward. 



Ward 1

5,106 votes cast

Horhn: 4,616 votes, Lumumba: 677 votes 

Horhn: 90% Lumumba: 10%

The Mayor managed to improve his performance in #33, Casey Elementary, from 0 votes in the primary to 2 votes. 

Christ United Methodist and the most votes, 976.  Horhn trounced Lumumba 768-206.  78% -22%.  Voter turnout was 29%. 

Casey was the strongest box for Horhn yet again as he demolished Hizzoner 

* The spreadsheet did not include #34, Willie Morris library, so that is why the total number of votes posted her do not match the spreadsheet. 


Ward 2

Although this ward is considered to be Mayor Lumumba's home base, the results were almost identical to his shellacking in other wards. 

4,839 votes cast. 

Horhn won 67%-36%, a margin that was roughly the same in all precincts.  The Mayor actually got 43% of the vote in #84 but still lost, 42 votes to 31 votes.  

The winning candidate's best performance was at New Hope Baptist Church, #83, where he won with 71% of the vote.   

Ward 3

Ironically, this was the Mayor's strongest ward. Ironic because it is also the ward of Kenneth I. Stokes. 

Horhn: 68% Lumumba: 32%

Votes cast: 3,361

The Mayor's high-water mark in this ward was at the Jackson Medical Mall, #11, where he polled 38% of the vote. 

Ward 4

Horhn: 68% Lumumba: 32%

Votes cast: 3,028 

Ward 5

Horhn: 67% Lumumba: 33%

2,337 votes cast

Precinct #63, Davis Temple Church of God on Dalton Road, was the Mayor's strongest performance in all precincts but he only got 40% of the vote. 

Even though this ward was considered to be the Mayor's base, his failure to get votes remained the same. 

Ward 6 

More of the same. Horhn: 67% Lumumba: 33%

Votes cast: 2,714

Ward 7

As in Ward 1, Horhn dominated with 86% of the vote.  

Votes cast: 3,437

Horhn's strongest performance was at Fondren Church, #16, at 96%. 

Mayor Lumumba and his supporters loved to claim he lost the primary because of "Republicans' crossing over to vote in the primary even though Horhn won 44% of the vote if Ward 1 is not counted.  

In the runoff, Horhn won 70% of the vote if Ward 1 is omitted from the results.  If Ward 7 is removed, Horhn won 67% of the vote in "black" precincts.  Kind of hard to blame the loss on Republicans when Democrats are giving two-thirds of their votes to your opponent.  

County list of names for each precinct since the reports only list precincts by number.  You're welcome. ;-)

Lumumba lost because he is a crook!

Rejection can be so cruel. Oh well, better luck next time. Oh that's right, Con's can't run in MS. Sorry.

I’d love to hear from some of those who voted for Lumumba what they based their vote on. How any sane person can want four more years of what we just went through is beyond my understanding.

Complete repudiation of Lumumba's term as Mayor.

But these facts do not matter to people like Othor Cain

Low IQ voters respond to emotions, not facts.
Probably true on both sides of the aisle.

Most upsetting is the massive growth in said idiot-sector-of-humanity given the lack of nuclear family and the abject failure of schools.

We are being ruled by the dumbest among us.

As we used to sing in the '60s, before "Black Power" arose, "Black and white together, we shall not be moved." Makes me feel all sentimental.

If only Chowke would participate in the Pledge of Allegiance and stopped saying "right" after every sentence. Right?

Anonymous said...

No one here believes those phony vote tallies. It’s all fake news, people are saying it’s the least secure vote in America, maybe the world. Chokwe should start an investigation into these votes, it’s clearly voter fraud to not like Chokwe.

Troll alert!!!!

Time to stop giving Chokwe any more air time. He’s out of office for good and probably headed to prison. Let’s turn all of our time and energy to making Jackson a better place.

This indicates that COJ democrats are somewhat more intelligent than I thought they were.

It's sad that you have come here to express your tormented mental state. We all know you're simply informing us of the figmentation of your fractured imagination. A condition all too common in today's liberals. Bless your heart.

And that's assuming that Ward 1 and Ward 7 were all 100% white voters and all 100% Republican voters, both of which is unlikely. Yes, I would agree that Ward 1 is generally a conservative, Republican voting ward, but not 100%. More African Americans have moved into that ward in the past few years. (Hence Ashby Foote switching from Republican to Independent in this election as he has to cater to more African American Democrats in the ward now.) Likewise, Ward 7 is not all white or all Republican either. Ward 7 has a large African American population. Look at its other elected officials ....Margaret Barrett (past), Virgi Lindsey, David Blount...all Democrats.
In short, no, it wasn't "Republicans" who caused your defeat Mr Lumumba; it was other Democrats and African Americans.

It doesn't matter. Horhn will not bring any new "leadership" to jackson.

Federal corruption and bribery charges. The mayor traveled to Florida, in secret, boarded a boat, and accepted bribe money for his influence (such as a phone call he made in the presence of undercover agents). He gets busted, and then loses the election. He might want to worry about a trial in his near future than a lost election in his past.

7:11, He might want to keep an eye on the Richard's Disposal garbage contract fiasco as well..

If I remember correctly, it was Aaron Banks's vote that flipped last year to give the 6-year contract to Richard's. The same Aaron Banks who is now a co-defendant with Lumumba in the federal public corruption case.

Disclaimer: I’m not a resident of Jackson.

Regardless of which jurisdiction and contest I vote in, if know there is no way my preferred candidate from my preferred party can win, I have no problem voting in the opposite primary to pick the least objectionable candidate of those of the party I know good and well will win - if I feel the situation supports this action. It’s my vote to cast as I wish. That’s the way the system works. We don’t register by parties in Mississippi.

Open, ranked voting would be the best option, but that’s another argument.

Anonymous said...

11:25 Oh puh-leeze! Give me crooked Lumumba before a ranked voting system..

Anonymous said...

I personally think 1:15 is RIGHT - because, surely, only a rigged election would yield so many votes for BabyChok. I'm suspecting that an honest-and-accurate vote count would have had Horhn getting more like 95% of the votes.

As with another critical election, last year, voters made it TOO BIG TO RIG.

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.
