Must be in the air. KF doesn't know the difference in through and threw.

No. It's these fucking autocorrect that replace a word with what it thinks it should be even when you type it correctly.

Everyone needs an Archie-

wow, only took three years....wonder if they'll manage to hold the new election prior to the 2027 primary?

Incompetence in Hinds County? No Way!

Will he now sue for lost wages? Loss of his govt. ride?

I imagine he's going to have to win to file that lawsuit

Hindsight should renme to Joke County.

You can't keep David L. down!

I only care that his relative graduated from a certain prep school this year and he won't be back

I hate autocorrect.

Judge set the special election for July 18th between David Archie and Tony Smith.

He's been averaging an appeal a year since 2019, so I guess he was due for a win.

But the special is a re-run of a primary, not a general election. If Archie wins, then what? Darrel McQuirter ran as an Independent in the general.

First off, Judge Ford again shows he knows little of the law when it comes to elections, because the Judge does not declare when the election will be held - that is the province of the Governor. But, following the law has never been one of his strong points.

Before anyone starts trying to place their bets on the results, I'd suggest first placing your bets on the date the appeal will be filed; sometimes within the next thirty days.

I've seen so many local and county election lawsuits over the years that I just assumed this was hopeless. As crazy as Archie is, he is better than that guy currently on the board. I have no doubt Archie will win now that people see what a scoundrel Smith is.

On the other hand, taxpayers have to pay for another election. As if we have extra money sitting around.

How has Hinds County survived without Archie on the board?

Totally ridiculous. Everything Hinds County does can be set aside on legal procedural grounds. Archie knows that, he was a part of it.

If you thought he showed his ass before, wait until he gets reelected. He’ll be loud & proud , and untouchable!

The incompetence of Hinds County election officials as reported by WLBT tonight is spellbinding. Precinct boxes missing. Voter rolls nowhere to be found. It goes on and on. Yet they certified the election anyway.

Great news !

This means we might get to watch ...(in real time),
David L demolish another Hinds County Courthouse room.

Must be sweeps week. The ratings of the HCBS meeting live stream has been down since he left

As crazy as Archie is, he is better than that guy currently on the board.

Open to dispute.

Clearly the Judge doesnt know his authority; he does not set the date or the time in which election is to be held. That's up to the Gov.

I’m sure this is going to improve the road situation in the county! I’ve called and pestered the last 3 about the road in our neighborhood. Best I got was white paint on the pavement.
Tony came out but he smelled like he’d been drinking all night. Whew!
There’s no way this is going to help Hinds county.

This was interesting. Hinds county is so backwards and corrupt, I was a little surprised that the judge actually listened and acted. Even crazy Archie can be used to prove a point. Unfortunately this type of manipulation and corruption is so common place in this state. I bet the idiots vote corruption back in. The root of corruption has only been dented and will go back to its same old ways. It’s firmly rooted here.

One lawsuit win does not change all the corruption and manipulation in hinds county. I would not be surprised if u end up with the same ole supervisor. This was so blatant that the judge could not shut their eyes on the voting violations. U will need to change so much more to get a productive supervisor board. They are as bad as Jackson.

Auto correct has fucked up more of my greatest jokes than I can count.

Tony who?

6:41 Sorry but in Hinds County including it's elections it's not just corruption, it's incompetence. Everything they do is usually done wrong. They are intimidated by competent people. Check it out.

What a joke. He was elected illegally didn’t live in the district

Judge Ford is a good and decent man who is obviously not afraid to call out Hinds County nonsense.

There's a reason why Bennie wanted all of Jackson and Hinds in his district. A whole lotta votes can be found in places so corrupt.

At least 10 years ago, or more, there was a morning talk show on wjnt 1180, Kent & Larry, & Archie would call in at least once a week and K&L tented to make "fun" of his calls, but I thought he made a lot of sense, one thing he can-do is Talk !!!!

Are Hinds Cty residents really going to "re-"elect a man whose actions have caused hundreds of thousands in dollars, possibly millions, to be misspent in lawsuits to get back in office he feels he was owed and never lost? Who would vote for such a man? By sheer optics, his actions have resulted in misspent public funds. If so, Hinds County, you deserve everything coming to you. Their tax base is already dwindling.

"Clearly the Judge doesnt know his authority; he does not set the date or the time in which election is to be held. That's up to the Gov."

Clearly, you skipped the McDonald's Coffee Group class on such matters. Normally, yes, a governor sets the date for certain elections. In this case, and others, though, the judge is fully in his lane to do that.

Normal Mississippi politics. The white man is in charge. While it was mostly blacks in this trial, the only thing more ruthless is a black man politician because they learned from the white man and apply it with their own messed up twist. The whole system is built on Mississippi politicians controlling the little people. They live and breath their superiority and believe it is their obligation to make decisions for the people of Mississippi because they believe the average voter is not smart enough to make important decisions. This state may not have slavery any more but we still have the master/slave model being followed in this state. Very backwards and dysfunctional.

Governor doesn't set special elections for Supervisors. Board usually does.

July 14.

Tony Smith plans to appeal the judge’s order for a special election.
