Jackson City Council Primary Winner Voted in Ridgeland Until November

Angeliqe Lee won Tuesday's election to replace Jackson Ward  2 City Councilman Melvin Priester, Jr..  However, the Northwest Jackson candidate voted in Ridgeland as recently as March.  

Mr. Priester resigned from the City Council on October 2.  Angelique Lee led all candidates in Tuesday's special election with 40% of the vote.  Former Hinds County Sheriff Tyrone Lewis placed second with 31%. 259 votes separate the two candidates.  James Paige placed third at 12%.  

Madison County voting records show that Ms. Lee voted in several Madison County elections: 

 March 10, 2020: Democratic Presidential Primary

November 5, 2019: General Election

August 6, 2019: Democratic Primary Election

November 27, 2018: Runoff Election

November 6, 2018: General Election

However, she did vote in Hinds County prior to the 2018 general election:

August 7, 2018: City of Jackson school bond issue

November 7, 2017: Hinds County Prosecuting Attorney

May 2, 2017: City of Jackson Democratic Primary

November 6, 2012: General Election

November 2, 2010: General Election

 Ms. Lee registered to vote in Hinds County on October 19, 2020, 17 days after Mr. Priester announced his resignation.  

There is actually a conflict among state laws.  Yes, that is state laws as in plural.  Section 23-15-300 of the Mississippi Code states: 

  • (1) Any candidate for any municipal, county or county district office shall be a resident of the municipality, county, county district or other territory that he or she seeks to represent in such office for two (2) years immediately preceding the day of election. The provisions of this section shall not apply to any municipality with less than one thousand (1,000) residents according to the latest federal decennial census.

  • (2) A candidate shall prove in his or her qualifying information that he or she meets the applicable residency requirement or provide absolute proof, subject to no contingencies, that he or she will meet the residency requirement on or before the date of the election at which the candidate could be elected to office. The appropriate election official or executive committee, whichever is applicable, with whom a candidate files qualifying information shall review and determine whether the candidate meets the applicable residency requirement according to the procedures in Section 23-15-299. The appropriate election commission shall review and determine whether a candidate required to file qualifying information with it meets the applicable residency requirement according to the procedures in Section 23-15-359.

  • (3) If the qualifications for an elected office include a specific residency requirement, the residency requirement in this section shall not apply.

  • (4) This section shall apply to elections held from and after January 1, 2020.

 The Legislature passed the law in 2019.  However, Section 21-8-7 states: 

(4)(a) ......  Council members elected to represent wards must be residents of their wards at the time of qualification for election, and any council member who removes the member's residence from the municipality or from the ward from which elected shall vacate that office.  However, any candidate for council member who is properly qualified as a candidate under applicable law shall be deemed to be qualified as a candidate in whatever ward the member resides if the ward has changed after the council has redistricted the municipality as provided in paragraph (c)(ii) of this subsection (4), and if the wards have been so changed, any person may qualify as a candidate for council member, using the person's existing residence or by changing the person's residence, not less than fifteen (15) days before the first party primary or special party primary, as the case may be, notwithstanding any other residency or qualification requirements to the contrary.

Ms. Lee is hanging her hat on this part of the law.   Her campaign told WLBT:

Ms. Lee has held residence within the ward beyond the period that is prescribed by law.  Efforts are being made to use her registration history as evidence that she has not lived in the ward for the legally prescribed period of time. 

Ms. Lee freely admits her failure to timely change her voter registration from an address that she temporarily held to the address that she has lived in for more than two years.WLBT story.

She actually claimed two different Madison County addresses over the years. Voting records show she lived on Camden Park Drive and Glastonbury Circle in Ridgeland.   Her registration records are posted below. 

Kingfish note: The Street Committee says good ole Marshand is advising Ms. Lee.

The statutes are not inconsistent. If they can be read in harmony, you must follow both. For example there are federal train speed laws. If a local train speed law is different, you have to follow both. Having two different laws to follow does not mean the laws are per se inconsistent. You have to have been a resident of the municipality for 2 years prior to election and a resident of the ward at the time of election. One does not get to choose one law to follow and disregard the other.

These laws aren’t conflicting. They’re actually concurrent. The problem for Miss Lee is if she’s elected it was said a new law president for residency qualifications and municipal elections. With the verdict still out on Archie, Folks can claim they live anywhere and still get elected if people are going to play favorites and never put up a legal challenge.

Voter registration roles are not proof or lack thereof in regards to place of residence. They're only an indicator. There are plenty of other ways to prove residency.

Thanks for posting at 7:33, Tyrone, but we don't need you back in government office in any position.

Thankful winner did not vote in Hinds and Madison.
Even the lowest level local leaders have elected to not live in Hinds/Jackson.
Probably the winner feels like it is home.

This is terrible. Typical Democratic politics. Look at the Pelahatchie Mayor, she had not lived there for years. Why not let the President move here and get elected 6 months later!

I amended my will to include orders to my heirs to not let me vote democrat after my death.

"Listen, I'm a politician which means I'm a cheat and a liar, and when I'm not kissing babies I'm stealing their lollipops. But it also means I keep my options open". May have been a fictional character, but still the same for all politicians.

No problem here, the two statutes are not inconsistent. The second statute applies to a specific situation that is not applicable to the one at hand.

And at least Ms Lee didn't use the tactic of Judge Westbrook and vote in BOTH Madison and Hinds in the same election.

Anonymous said...

11:36. The "problem" with Ms. Lee is that she, Crisler and the rest of that merry band of selfish miscreants don't care. They just want what "they want", and that is to illegally elect a very impressive young lady from Ridgeland to the JACKSON City Council. They can wordsmith the laws all they want to, but the TRUTH is the TRUTH. By law, she is NOT QUALIFIED to serve or even be on the ballot for the JACKSON City Council. Like so many Democrats, They. Don't. Care.

From what I know, Lee is probably the best possible choice. A fresh face, a bold new voice. At some point it’s needed.

As a resident of Jackson, I am thrilled that Jackson will have another great councilmember representing Ward 2 and the entire city. Angelique Lee checks all of the boxes that demonstrate she will give unparalleled service.

Educated and an Educator
Experienced in business, education, and community service
Love of Community
Highly intelligent
Pragmatic
Prepared to serve
Has a vision for a better Jackson

Yep, she gets my vote!

I’m not Attorney/Lawyer so I cannot interpret the law.

So what do you think in layman’s term. I need simple language

Vicki Slater is in the runoff in Madison County this Tuesday. Vicki is AOC level liberal.

We don't need Philly type vote tabulation here. Get out and vote.

Anonymous said...

12:55. Check your tin hat. Enough with the Conspiracies. AOC has nothing to do with an Election Commissioner race in Madison. If the Republican candidate is good enough, let’s hear why.

What about "illegal" do the Lee people not understand? She broke the law, either by lying about her residency, or fraudulent voting or even both.

She didn't "win". She is (illegally) in a runoff with
Tyrone Lewis.

It's Hinds county, who cares ?

Jackson ha been "third world" for years.

Hinds County is approaching the same status.

I'm still pulling for Tyrone . . . I miss his " Happy Valentines Day" billboards.

Anonymous said...

2:02, duh...to say Vicki Slater is as liberal as AOC is not the same as saying AOC has anything to do with a Madison County race. Brush up on your reading comprehension.

I think it's great!!

If Jackson could elect ALL of their Mayor/Councilmen from the suburbs, they might have a chance at improving things.

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.

Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease.
