McDaniel fires back at Harrison County

Chris McDaniel filed a response to Harrison County's response to his motion for reconsideration for the denial of his petition for a writ of mandamus against Harrison County. Did you get all that? Don't have time to write about this filing but it is posted below. One interesting quote:

Once an individual goes in to redact the birthdates, he/she could also manipulate other parts of the records, weakening or strengthening one’s potential challenge.

Mr. Tyner should be embarrassed to have filed this.

It is time for judicial sanctions to discourage this sort of nonsense!

So now the argument is that the clerks could commit fraud? Wow... That's one hell of a conspiracy theory but not much of a legal argument.

"Once an individual goes in to redact the birthdates, he/she could also manipulate other parts of the records, weakening or strengthening one’s potential challenge."

By the same analogy, once McD's team goes in to look at unredacted records, he/she could manipulate other parts of the records to strengthen their challenge.

If my county gives this cook-fest my DOB and other personal information I will file suit against my county.

How did McDaniels ever get a law degree ?
Can't believe he was almost the Rpublican
nominee.

This sounds like it was drafted in the bus that stayed parked in Hattiesburg all day.

Tyner still ignores the fact that McD has no need to see birth dates when the poll books assign a unique ID no. to each name anyway. Also, when he has raised and spent millions why the cost of redaction would be prohibitive, especially when McD's people admitted he spent about $100,000 to date on lawyers to get to see every one's private info. His latest financial filing shows he has plenty of bucks to buy redacted copies of poll books. So since none of this makes any sense, it must just be a game, or a chance to whine about McD's loss. Sanctions under the MS Litigation Accountability Act are in order since he has no hope of success for these transparently spurious arguments. Until sanctioned, he will continue to impugne every one else's integrity and throw legal tantrums.

That's the way to get your name out there so you can have a political career - - - - - NOT!! What is wrong with this idiot?? Did his Mama drop him on his head repeatedly when he was a baby??? There is something seriously wrong with his thinking and just in case he hasn't gotten the message - He is FINISHED IN POLITICS!!

Not true 9:05. If you've seen any footage of the review taking place, you know there are observers from both sides of the controversy sitting there watching the process. But, I guess it possible that a McDaniel worker might holler "Look! A bird!" And point out the window and then really wreak havok.

Never have understood why birthdate cannot be public information. It is when you go to school, if you are arrested, often in newspapers when you are born, etc. What is the big secret? Just so some can shave off a few years?

5:33. The footage suggests that both sides are sitting on opposite sides of the table and not next to each other. Are the observers standing over the reviewer's shoulders or just in the room?

How else would the McD camp come up with such inflated numbers?

Yeah, you might as well broadcast your birth date on Facebook, your website etc. since: "What's the big secret?". I'm sure there will be certain profit minded elements in cyber space--like from Nigeria-- that will appreciate and take advantage of your willingness to step out there. They will also appreciate your kindly answering their emails as to the rest of your data in return for a big reward.

8:42 was obviously on of those delusional 'Hanging Chad Counters' in a previous life. What an assinine theory.

Interesting sidelight on the quotation that Kingfish pulled out about clerks manipulating the election records.

I'm sure that many will scoff at the notion that a candidate cannot trust the registrar/circuit clerks, but I've personally witnessed this in two election contests.

In 1991, I caught the Leflore County Circuit Clerk forging hundreds of absentee ballots in a desperate attempt to gain re-election. She literally sat in her kitchen along with her cohorts and manufactured them all there. I caught her by the postmarks on the envelopes she mailed them back in. She plead guilty to voter fraud.

In Tunica County in 1995, the Circuit Clerk altered and doctored absentee ballot applications for around 70 voters to make them qualify to be opened and counted. I know this happened, because I have copies of the "before" and "after" versions - both copies supplied through public records requests from the Circuit Clerk herself.

So no, in my personal experience conducting election contests, a candidate who is investigating an election cannot really afford to trust anybody about what's in the records and whether documents have been forged or altered.

Of course I little trust in unelected zealots of the kind who sneak into nursing homes and post the video online and who sneak into courthouses after hours with no plausible explanation to properly handle sensitive and private information. Next thing you know information will be posted online much like the gay rights zealots did with confidential donors to the California marriage initiative. Only difference is it's right wing zealots instead of left wing zealots. I am conservative, and by some lights, right wing, but I don't want McDaniel supporters rummaging through my sensitive and private information.

John Pittman Hey said...

Name/Address/DOB are just not sensitive private information. They were all completely public - even in MS - until recently.

Besides that, McDaniel has access by right under MCA Section 23-15-911 to the actual contents of the ballot boxes themselves, which contain far more personal information about some of the voters than just DOB. There are SSN numbers in there, disability status, information about some voters illiteracy, recent illness, etc.

The whole idea that DOB is somehow sacred secret info is not credible anymore. Most states publish it in their voter roll info to the public already.

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.
