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.
@11:15am - Yeah, only at the federal level.
If only Chowke would participate in the Pledge of Allegiance and stopped saying "right" after every sentence. Right?
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.
@12:33
ALL CANDIDATES MUST:
Be a qualified elector (registered voter) of the State of Mississippi and of the district, county or municipality of the office for which he seeks election;
Never have been convicted of bribery, perjury or other infamous crime, being a crime punishable by a minimum of one (1) year confinement in the state penitentiary, i.e., all felonies, unless pardoned for the offense, Miss. Const. of 1890, Article IV, § 44
I wish he'd get his people to get rid of the campaign signs. Kinda tired of looking at him.
He and his crew are SO over doing anything constructive at this point.
Please don't feed the Troll, guys. Just ignore.
He can sell his Porsche to pay legal fees.
It doesn't matter. Horhn will not bring any new "leadership" to jackson.
It's a vast right-wing conspiracy." (At least according to Hildabeast.
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.
11:25 Oh puh-leeze! Give me crooked Lumumba before a ranked voting system..
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.
