The Unvanquished: David L. Archie

Hinds County District 2 Supervisor David L. Archie is not going to slink away into the night even though he lost his re-election by a 2:1 margin in the August Democratic primary.   Mr. Archie filed a petition for judicial review of the election of Anthony Smith in Hinds County Circuit Court yesterday.  The petition is filed below. 

The petitioner alleged: 

* All ballet boxes for the 26 precincts comprising District 2 contained "voted paper ballots."

9. The examination of the ballot boxes showed that a great munber of precincts, specifically 26 out of26 precincts were missing the machine tapes (end tape) containing the actual number of voters that voted on each machine. Thus, these machine tapes (the end tape) were unavailable for inspection by Plaintiff during his examination of the ballot boxes. Said machine tapes (end tapes) were required to be maintained in the ballot boxes and their absence constitutes a radical departure from the requirement that election materials be securely maintained in the ballot boxes.

* 18 of 26 precincts missed the voter register books. 

* 21 of 26 precincts missed the ballot accounting form. 

* All 26 precinct ballot boxes were missing affidavit ballots as well as military/overseas ballots. 

* The media bags were missing from the ballot boxes in 24 out of 26 precincts. 

* The seals were not properly "affixed" on all ballot boxes. 

* Then there are the media sticks: 

24. It was determined that Hinds County District 3 Election Commissioner Jamal Clark was in possession of the media sticks for all races and precincts. Media sticks for all 107 precincts county-wide were commingled in a bag which had no label or seal and which was housed in Mr. Clark's desk in an open cubicle. Mr. Clark stated that he had received the media sticks from ES&S representative Melvina Pye, and he could not speak to how long he had the media sticks in his possession. The media sticks were not placed in the custody of the Hinds County Circuit Clerk as required. The undocumented transfer of the media sticks from Ms. Pye to Mr. Clark, commingling of the media sticks, and gaps in chain of custody of the media sticks dictate radical departures of election laws.

Mr. Archie has publicly accused Hinds County Democratic Party officials of tampering with the media sticks.  

*  Mr. Archie accused Jacqueline Amos, Chairwoman of the Hinds County Democratic Executive Committee of "exhibiting gross misconduct and deliberate willful, premeditated intent to manipulate, subvert, and overthrow the election.  Strong stuff . 

The petition asks the Court to appoint a judge from a county not adjacent to Hinds County to hear the petition.  Mr. Archie requests the Court void the election and order a new election.  

Attorney Bernetta Garrett-Levison represents the petitioner.  

The case has not been assigned to a judge.

Say what you will about Archie: Love him, hate him or don't give a shit about him..He has excellent and valid points here.

This bunch of clowns in charge of Hinds County Elections should not and CAN not be trusted.

Just more evidence of a third world country. And I'm a white man who lives nowhere near Hinds County.

I find it intriguing that people think it’s fine when Stacey abrams challenges election results multiple years now in her career as did Al Gore and many many times Hillary Clinton even demanded recount 2 times for the same election. But soon as trump or Archie challenges an election they’re conspiracy theorist.

Outside of Clinton, are there any positive activities going on in Jackson or Hinds County?

He is faced with the fact that he will have to find a real job and even purchase a vehicle, but no doubt his grifting skills will suit him well.

When Democrats contest an election it is a Constitution protected right.

So the guy who cheated his way into power can’t stand the thought of it being done to him? Seriously, drop a nuclear bomb on this whole county (or maybe even the country) and start from scratch. It will never be right otherwise.

Mr Archie should be glad he is t in Georgia where they file charges against you if you question an election, unless you are a Democrat…. :)

If you throw out half the winners votes, he still loses.

Archie is lucky that he is a demorat, otherwise he would be indicted.

You peoples ain't seen shit yet. Wait 'til Rukia and four of her lieutenants run for and win the positions of Election Commissioner.

Is there actually anyone who still thinks there is such a thing as an honest election in America?

@6:50am - Filing a lawsuit to contest an election is anyone’s right. Hell, Trump’s idiotic lawyers filed dozens of them without any evidence. That’s fine, whatever, waste the courts’ resources and put your law license on the line for god emperor.

Calling the lead elected official in Georgia responsible for elections to have him “find” 11k+ votes to literally cheat and steal an election is just a tad bit different.

I know you aren’t that stupid.

But hey, I get it, the low information easy/ignorant R talking point is “Democrats are bad” so anything we (Rs) do is fine.

@10:56 AM, yes, there is such a person, and that would be @10:42 PM.

656 am (along with several others, 753 pm, 1056 pm and 936 am) anybody that thinks you can compare Archie's idiotic antics with Trump's in Georgia are either "blinded by their idol, DJT and his grifting" or stupid - and its certainly possible that these to conditions are synchronous.

Archie has used the legal system as is provided - filing a petition for judicial review in which he makes some specific claims (although when it comes time to prove them and that they had any effect on the outcome, he will lose). Trump on the other hand, in Georgia, never filed a lawsuit with specifics (backed up by facts other than speculation) to substantiate his claims.

Archie did not make any claim such as Trump's - that over 5,999 dead people voted in the election, a claim made by Trump but with nothing to support it.

Archie did not call Zach Wallace and ask him to "find" 1,878 votes for him, because that is what he needed to win - unlike Trump's call to the GA SOS wanting him to "find" 11,780 votes.

Archie did not try to create a false set of people elected (of course, not applicable) unlike Trump's creating a fake set of electors that were attempting to usurp the authority of the state's electoral college electors.

Archie did not surreptitously steal the software workings of the voting machines in an effort to ---- hell, we never really understood what Trump's idiots were going to do with the stuff they illegally tresspassed and then stole from the Coffee County election's office.

Yes, Archie is an idiot - as it Trump. And the minions that they have working along side them are no better.

But - the claim that Archie a Democrat is not prosecuted for legitimatelly filing a judicial petition and that Trump is prosecuted for 'questioning' the election results are not comparable. Archie at least did it within the legal process, did not threaten officials for not 'fixing' it for him, and legally accessed the information he used in his complaint.

Now, go back to your Truth Social network (before it dies a financial death) and get you some new talking points.

@1:21 But there are similarities between Trump and Archie (besides them both being narcissist individuals that think there is no possible way that they could not be reelected).

Opposite ends of the political spectrum, assuming that either has a political philosophy other than themselves and their own well-being. True. But both being election deniers thinking that the voting machines could be manipulated. At least Archie named who did the manipulation; seems he thinks its either Amos or Toni Johnson. (True, it would be hard to prove when Toni did the manipulating since all her movements can be tracked due to her ankle bracelet.)

And, they both have crazy advisors - this Walker lady seems like a perfect match for Trump's Sidney Powell. Neither has any idea what they are talking about, but can rant and rave enough to make it sound like their 'findings' are actually correct, and meaningful.

Other than that, though, your observations are spot on.

David L has indeed made some interesting points about the Hinds County Election Commission.

But I would again enjoy watching that video clip when he went on a crazy rant and tore up the dollar general
"anti-covid plastic panels" in the Curt House.

Seems it scared the hell out of Credell Calhoun, but guaranteed David L two weeks worth of local press.

I don't feel bad for David L (Arichie Bonkers). The man lied about where he lived, and it was proven it was living in the wrong district. As far as I'm concerned you reap what you Sow. David Bonkers you pissed off the people of Clinton and they spoke loudly and clear. Archie go find a real job. Hey, apply for the county road dept and go dig a ditch or two. Have a nice day fat head.

Come Hell or High Water as well as his determination to physically not leave his office, Archie will prevail.

He’s actually got specific allegations. Donald Trump could learn more than a few thing from Archie.

Archie is not an idiot. He just acts like one. He is just setting himself up for a 2027 run. He has a platform for the next four years. He didn’t write this playbook, but he is following it well.

Where is "get it done" Begley, looking to make a last score?

If you think the current Election Commissioners are entertaining, just you wait until Rukia runs for (and wins) that office.

How many deputies will it take to remove him from the chamber on his last day and to retrieve his county SUV?

Hinds Co. Democratic Committee said there would not be another election and Archie lost.

Anonymous said...

4:38 - no surprise there; normally the case when a committee gets first shot at responding. Archie had already moved the case to circuit court prior to their decision.

But - because Archie doesn't have facts correct, and the crazy lady from Yazoo City is about as dumb as Sidney Powell - Archie won't survive summary judgment there either.

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.
