Jackson Jambalaya

and rest of media will say nothing. Business as usual.

So what happens when they are both disqualified for not actually living in the district?

Welcome to "Get to Know Your Mississippi Democratic Party".

Somebody remind me, how was it that Mrs. Blackmon was able to run for Lt. Gov and lose and keep her senate seat?

Their sons live in Jackson, Mississippi but I guess that simply doesn't matter at this point.

As reported yesterday by the Magnolia Tribune.

Do hate the player hate the game. Even when you have been out smarted.

Isn't that election fraud?

And not a peep out of the Barksdalers.

In this instance you can hate the players and the game. This is yet another example of the Democratic Party’s lack of credibility in Mississippi. They are complicit to a George Santos hustle.

Same thing is being done all over Hinds County. Check out Justice and Chancery Court. The old switcheroo. When you have a gullible electorate you take advantage. As long as it's not illegal it's just another hustle. Get used to it.

She has always been a fraud, ever since she made senseless accusations in her Lt. Gov. race. I don't know of anyone who pays attention to her at the Capitol anymore. It is like hearing nails on a chalkboard.

Whether you agreed or not with him, he always had a distinguished way of presenting his opinion and people did listen. However, this stunt has thrown him in the heap along with his wife.

Remind you according to MS Today, Ed says it is the most depressing session he has seen. What is depressing is the mockery of an election or lack thereof the he and his wife have chosen for their sons.

It's really efficient. How do you insure family control while eliminating the possibility of an expensive and questionable campaign? It makes sense. Not real ethical, but it makes sense.

Bet their favorite family activity is three card monte.

Legal question: with no opponents, who has legal standing to raise a residency challenge?

"When you have a gullible electorate you take advantage. As long as it's not illegal it's just another hustle. Get used to it."

Bro, it's Mississippi. The LARGE majority of the state are mouth breathing clods.

This is a race where a write-in candidate might could actually gain enough traction to win. This is not a good look for a candidate.

@2:08 - legal answer.

Anybody.

A challenge can be made after the August primary; since these are legislative races, the challenge would be made to the State Election Commission (Governor, Secretary of State, and Attorney General.) Any decision made by the Commission can be subject to judicial review upon filing for it by the losing party.

But the statute is clear - "any person desiring to challenge......"

Just like the good ole days. I remember when DI Smith did that in Madison County Supervisor race. He stayed four years then got beat. The sad thing is the idiots over in Ridgeland voted him in as Alderman at large after all that. Memories ❤️

Mississippi doesn't recognize "write-in" candidates.

2:08 PM, the electorate.

What address is on their filing? We

Not surprised they pulled this, but I do wonder about the timing. Were they ready to pass the torch, or does Rudy’s trial and potential further indictments have them worried? Inquiring minds can dream.

12:23...what statute was violated? And how is this worse that Gunn having fund raisers when he is not running for anything?

Andy Taggart sez, "Huh? I don't see any problem."

If you’ll recall way back, this is exactly how AG Mike Moore made certain his buddy Jim Hood got “crowned” AG when Moore retired. No one in the legal community was going to run against 4-time incumbent Moore- including highly qualified Supreme Court Justice Mike Mills, who wanted to be AG and would’ve been a great one. Knowing that, Moore waited till after the qualifying deadline to announce he was not running. And, as they say, “just like that,” Hood was AG with no real competition.

I’m confused, it’s legal to hold an office in a district you do not reside in as long as it’s not challenged before the State Election Commision? Again what qualifies as election fraud? Is election fraud determined after a challenge or violation of the law as is regardless of challenge. Can a person residing in Utah hold an office in Mississippi if it’s not challenged?

@2:30 - maybe, yes. Except the legal issue: in Mississippi Write-in votes are not counted unless a/the name(s) on the ballot have died. The write in votes are accounted for, but not by the person(s) who's name was written.

624, close but no cigar. Moore announced a week prior to the qualifying deadline that he was not going to run for reelection; giving little time for anybody to jump into a campaign. Hood, who had been told weeks or months earlier, was able to switch over from reelection as DA to the AG.

Where is the beacon of truth and Oedipus G on this? The DNC won’t fund your Pulitzer Prize winning bloviating!?

Speaking of those who ran for State A.G., wasn't it Taggart who waited until time had expired, then withdrew, leaving D.I.Smith uncontested as Madison County District Supervisor?

Then, the disastrous follow up to that (four years later) was the seating of the perpetual clown, side-show and vote-seller, Steen.

They are both retiring because neither have received any TV coverage the past several years

Bad on the Republican Party for not having a candidate qualify even though it would be fruitless in the end.

Who could not see this coming with mother and daddy and two children entering contests against each other?

But, the Blackmon legend will live on through legacy and the parents can get on with more important stuff, like defending dog fighting and theft through city hall, ETT CETTERRAH.

"I’m confused, it’s legal to hold an office in a district you do not reside in as long as it’s not challenged before the State Election Commision?"
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
To help with your confusion, I searched and found this rule: "You are not guilty of running a stop sign or speeding through town unless you are caught, charged and convicted". Hope that helps.

You can look for the elder Blackmon twins, to retire from their respective positions no later than June 30 in order to jump start the clock to their so-called 13th check.

However, when they do that, the governor will invoke the special election process to replace them, and that could open the door to republicans who were asleep at the wheel.

Last I heard, Ed is worth over $50 million. The legislature is the least of his concerns.

4:22pm thank you for enlightening me. You hear that legislators, you can continue residing in the wrong districts (live in Jackson and claim its Canton) bc no one has or will challenge you in the Great State of Mississippi. Thanks also Blackmons for derpiving the citizens you claim you live amongst a fair race/election for two seats that you selfishly claimed for your children.
