The ever-incompetent Watson posted everything but the results, which, ironically, is the only thing people are interested in.

Can you imagine the civil war if Cindy happens to wins after all of this?

7:03 - Don’t bother us with your impatience. I like that info.

The result is people were tired of self-serving Cindy and self-serving Scott goes in her place.

Quick, someone report what Scott Colom’s current net worth is. Then we can compare it to his net worth in 6 years to see how much he profited from being a Senator.

Who else is running for Lt. Governor, this is a giant opening for someone to jump in the race.

Hey 703, Watson didn't publish the count, which is what you want, and yes, what most people want --- because he doesn't have it.

The affidavit ballots in many of these counties have been processed, but they have not been tabulated - that is, run through the scanner to determine the votes. In most cases, that will not be done until Tuesday night, or Wednesday. Normally, many wait and do it Wednesday morning but with that being a holiday this year I don't know what counties will be working that day and which will wait until Thursday.

Either way, in most cases they have to set up the equipment to tabulate the 5-day absentees, or 5-day voter ID ballots, so they hold the affidavits to do at the same time.

Ergo, Watson didn't give you what you want because he doesn't have it. He doesn't count the ballots, he only tabulates what the counties do. So on this, cut him some slack. He's got his hands full as well, and wants to know those numbers just like the rest of the state.

The only benefit we will see out of either is they make more money. He will not do anymore than she did.

Can MS call the race if the number of remaining votes cannot change the current winner-loser status?

7:48pm just look at all our Senators and House Members, look at the Trumps! Eric and Don Jr. 50 million before and now 500 to 750 million in just 2 years! Barron 150 million in 2 years.
Why in the hell do you think donors, corporations and supporters pay millions for them to get elected. They both win! I call it the Machine!

I can't fault Watson for this, the voter rolls have been a royal mess forever, he's done a good job trying to clean them up.

As far as I've seen/read, no one that should have been allowed to vote have been refused the right to vote. So what if the count takes a little longer. Next election should be much better.

If not already done in this process, SOS needs to bounce the voter data against the SSA death registry to get some of the dead voters off the rolls.

Colom leads Hiding-Smith by about 2500 votes at this point. Congratulations to Scott and adios to Cindy.

As long as Colom buys stocks he can make $3 billion just like anyone else can. Right?

Killing time until Winston Wolf can get there

What are we, California? They keep counting until their person wins?

Prepare for just that.

7:48 don’t hate on the players hate the game! Why do you think big donors in small counties like Covington spend thousands of dollars to get a Sheriff elected? But dang he turned out to be a darn good Sheriff.

No need to worry. The NAACP declares it has its eye on the prize.

Colom up by 2,574. Will win by approximately 5,000 votes when all votes are in.

Anonymous said...

Yes 7:25 if Cindy there will be riots, looting, shooting, and burning.

Thankfully so far on this post the rhino hunters are not freaking out. So much of a reminder of the 50's red scare. Seeing rhinos around every corner where there isn't one. Cautionary note: Be aware we're in obviously crazy times. If some of them gets in their minds that me, you or others are what they call rhinos, I just hope they don't go crazy.

You're the guy who salivates over the word "BREAKING", even though it's followed by nothing. You're a strange one, you are.

Gerhardt Gibbert is checking the pulse of all the women's clubs and Rotarians and Docs on the golf courses.

When you look around and all you see are RINOs, maybe you're the asshole.

Pete Perry - Funny that Kingfish posts the count time and again. Blow your hot air in some other direction. You're not the fount of knowledge Haley told you you were 20 years ago. Take a seat.

That's typical, yes. Even in Mississippi.

Well, Pete knows more about Mississippi's election process(es) in his little finger than you and 10 of your friends know altogether.

Anonymous said...

Yes, but "mostly peaceful" riots, looting, shooting, and burning.

Anonymous said...

Is Gibbert ever going to run for anything? He has been talking about for 10 years now.

Anonymous said...

Its a strange count Maybe it was all Trump protest but that doesnt sound right. they need to watch the vote closely. I heard JSU had 400 students vote that didnt even live in Mississippi permantley just here for school. don't know how that works. Seems like you would have to a residence in Mississippi. Not accusing anybody just wondering what the law is

Madison went for Colom???

Would like to see the numbers on Cindy too. Get along home little Cindy, Cindy.......

Cindy Hyde Smith reported to be back in Washington DC as the Congress reconvenes following the elections. Also rumored to be in talks to be an expert political analyst and commentator for the Fox News Channel (contingent on election results)

Anonymous said...

Impressive for someone that cannot string together two coherent sentences.

No sane republican wanted Hyde in that seat to begin with. We only votedfor her as the lesser of two dunces. We didn't want a democrat added to the number in the senate, so she got our vote. That's it. If we lost, we lost. We'll take our lumps, run some laps, hit the sleds and get ready for the next opportunity.

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.
