Cheryl Lasseter reported on WLBT Friday night Hinds County refuses to allow Byram to use its radio system. I won't spoil the fun as the video is posted below.
Cheryl shows up at the Circus:
and Elizabeth Crisp provides pretty good coverage in the Clarion-Ledger this morning. Here is a passage from her story with a great quote:
"Andrew McMillin said questions remain about vote totals. He noted that at one precinct, 192 people signed in but only 20 votes were recorded. "It appears they want to go ahead with the certification, despite the discrepancies," he said.
McInnis said he did not find anything unusual about the sign-in discrepancy.
"There are almost always more signatures than there are votes," he said. "That always happens."
He said it's due in part to people not voting in every race, and sometimes people sign in but do not vote."
Hinds County GOP Chairman Pete Perry had something to say about it:
"Despite McInnis' insistence that it's not unusual to have more signatures than votes, Perry said it has been rare in his experience.
"If those numbers aren't the same, you should be able to identify why," said Perry, who has worked on election challenges across the state.
He also said he has never seen someone sign in and then not vote."
Stay tuned.
