Hinds County Election Commissioner Toni Johnson and Cedric Cornelius are still in jail after they were arrested by the State Auditor's investigators yesterday.
The case is assigned to Senior Circuit Judge Tomie Green. Judge Green set Ms. Johnson's bond at $100,000. The not one, not two, not three, but 26-count indictment for Ms. Johnson is posted below.
The grand jury indicted Cornelius for conspiracy (2 counts), conspiracy to defraud state (6 counts), making false statements to government (10 counts), bribery of public official (4 counts), and receiving stolen property.

Her mugshot looks a lot different than the pic on the news!
Toni outweighs Cedeic by 25%. Damn, she must have eaten all those catered meals (the other Commissioners claimed didn't happen) herself.
The Zuckerbucks floweth.
Typical inmate(s).
These two just thought no one would mess with them.
WRONG !!!!
"(Cedric) Cornelius has been also indicted for conspiracy, bribery, and fraud. He allegedly used his company—Apogee Group II, LLC—to work with Toni Johnson to be paid without work being performed. The company was awarded contracts to perform cleaning services, COVID-19 testing, and voting machine audits for HCEC despite being registered as a “motion picture and video production” company. A $216,227.28 demand letter was issued to Cornelius when he was arrested."
Obviously this guy shouldn't be confused with "Cedric the Entertainer" but apparently qualifies as "Cedric the Non-Performer".
She just figgered nobody pays attention to the election commission so it ought to be a good side-hustle. And she's right nobody pays much attention to the commission, BUT millions of dollars gets a lot of attention. Dumb, dumb, dumb
She lives in a very nice, upscale neighborhood. She has had a comfortable lifestyle & hasn't been oppressed. No reason to steal other than she's a low-life. No wonder she hid her face from the cameras. She was bound to know this was coming.
@10:26am - Ha! That new "look" is definitely on purpose.....she knows where she's headed, and will need that look to survive. But you could say, that's the "real" her based on her actions.
If Toni was Nancy New she would be at home by now. Go figure…
Maybe she could put up those two 85-inch TVs for bail.
Is there one, just ONE, facet of Hinds County or City of Jackson government or government agencies that works? SMDH. I guess all this is my fault too, being a white guy and all.
And no Facebook

Department of Revenue brings in the dough for the rest of the government to misspend. That's about all I can think of, but even then ABC warehouse is a dumpsterfire, so even they have their problems. I bet you could walk in without getting wanded if you parked and walked to the back door wearing khakis and a polo.
I hope they collected DNA before they arrested her. The mugshot looks nothing like the queen on WLBT.
This simply proves that being a gaziliionaire and student of Ivy League, has nothing to do with common sense. Zuckerberg, C’mon man.
Some people just can’t help but steal
We the jury find them not guilty.
Attn 2:42 I am pretty sure the state auditor is an ivy leaguer also.
I bet all Hat Gibson is pissed that Andy got some TV time instead of him. I think Gibson has been on TV or news 6 out of the past 7 days. Hold up a TV camera and see who pops up in 10 seconds. It Is going to be fun watching Andy and Gimpson in the governors race after Tater terms out.
The indictment mentions 'Agopee'. Shad mentions 'Agofee'. Is there A Fee to Go Pee? But, seriously, the two departments better get their shit together before court.
The mug shot language claims the arresting agency for both was 'inst'. What's that?
Every year we see editorials and other pleas asking folk to volunteer as poll workers. And those people are required by law to be trained, the responsibility of the Commish. Any good trainer knows the best item in the training tool-chest is a seven foot wide screen. Count dismissed.
All this talk about work not performed. They were working smart, not long and did the best they could to disinfect those voting precincts. They bought at least one can of Lysol for every single one. Do you have any idea how expensive that Lysol is? Well, it ain't cheap. Not guilty.
4:36, are you living proof that one cant play the horses without a program? That's what I was told when I first wen to the racetrack in South Louisiana. Evidently you need a program to know the names and places of the folks you like to opine about.
I think another player - Michael - has recently published the current edition of the Blue Book and made it available online. Maybe you should get a copy and keep in front of you next time you want to try to make a political comment.
Unknown at 4:36 - Are you suggesting that Andy Gibson will be running against himself?
This case is much more serious than Nancy and Zack New. Hope she and Corney spend many nights in jail.
No matter how damning the evidence, there is still required a prosecutor willing to prosecute and a Jackson jury willing to convict. Go to trial and paint ol' Shad as the evil white oppressor doing all this to keep a hard-working sistuh down and take your chances with a Jackson jury. That's what I'd do if I were her.
@436 here. I got to stop day drinking. I meant Shad got the TV time about this blog and he will be running against Gipson.
If she gets a "downtown" jury, she has a chance, but if it's an "uptown" jury, adios sistuh.
Not the only laws she’s broken. Election laws, she has done things…..
They are feeding her pretty well in jail based on the before glamorous pictures and current mug shot.
Is this the same Toni johnson that got on TV and said David Archie was racketeering contracts ?
Is this the same Cedric that works for U.P.S. and stands at my door, and Bragg how the lord has blessed him.
Thats only a fraction of what The Hinds County Board members has stolen over the years... Hope Graham is next...
The Blessed and highly favored, Tuh! flexin Frauds! They touching a different kind of bag alright, the one that doesn't belong to them.
