Jackson Jambalaya

Nothing to see here, yet anyway. Not unusual in a close election especially one that had all the Hinds County hijinks involved.

Any candidate with close numbers (Hinds itself had 70,000 votes, so DeKeither's suggestion his 2100 was a landslide is mildly silly) might well consider taking a look and seeing how screwed up it was.

And some of those delta counties have never figured out how to run a correct election. Or maybe they have and also figured out the converse.

Better take A look at how McDaniel turned out after he finished his election with Thad.

This was either a "vote by color" outcome or the fix was in. Brent Bailey has done an excellent job, so it makes no other sense that he wasn't re-elected.

oh please. Quite a few Republicans didn't like his taking Sierra Club money four years ago or his green energy stances. I polled some of my GOP friends. Only one voted for Bailey.

The main stream media will report this as a racially motivated undertaking.

Bailey won the scant few remaining white GOP boxes in NE Jackson quite handily.

Your friends aren’t GOP if they voted for Stamps!!!

PSC was invisible to me until Brent Bailey started sending unsolicited text messages to my cell phone. Then I got his postcard mailer bragging that he has worked hard to end unsolicited sales calls. I decided his hypocrisy should not be encouraged.

If anyone heard the Clay Edwards Show this morning with Mr. Stamps on there, should answer any doubt as to why Commissioner Bailey should have won this race.

When Mr. Stamps brought up "slavery" I admit I did listen to his stance but I chose to no longer listen to Mr. Edwards show.

Prudent investigation indeed.

I am amazed by the people that will say racism has ended, but when a black wins those same people say it was a "vote by color" or a "prudent investigation" is needed.

I support Mr. Bailey's right to conduct an examination.

I also support Mr. Stamps' right to suggest he won by a wide margin.

But for Mr. Stamps to suggest Mr. Bailey should back-off due to his advance perception of the cost involved is out of bounds.

It does sound to me that it will be costly, but that's irrelevant as long as our rules and laws allow the inspection.

"Better take A look at how McDaniel turned out after he finished his election with Thad."

Please explain the correlation.

State level government in Mississippi seems to be the last frontier … brace yourselves!

To any "republicans" who did not support the nominee because he accepted donations from the "dreaded" Sierra Club, congratulations, you elected a democrat who took campaign money from the utilities while a legislator. Brilliant!

9:37 PM - False flag - those texts were initiated by the Stamps campaign.

Power. It is well known that people will pursue power with more vigor than pursuing money. Power is more valuable than money because those with power can generate all the money they want.

This should not be paid for with taxpayers money. I for one need all of my money for day to day living expenses and not some fool who's upset he's not the class President.

KF @7:02 PM - Wow, such a scientific poll. Not.

I spoke with six of my GOP friends and they all voted for Bailey.

KF, so Brent Bailey took Sierra Club money for 4 years? Interesting as they were one of the main driving forces behind petitioning not building Yazoo Backwater Pumps at Steel Bayou. I bet there are some people upset with him. Their stance is they will "Drain the Wetlands", which if you know anything about elevations and the area, couldn't be further from the truth. Apparently, the Sierra Club and it's members didn't see the suffering and loss of life of their beloved wildlife for months due to a half-completed man-made project, but that doesn't get clicks or donations. Also, don't try to bring this up with them on social media or they will just block you. The truth hurts. I did not know this about Bailey or I wouldn't have voted for him.

Dear Dee-keither,
The press has no authority to declare a winner - you may as well said that Mr. Magoo declared you the winner.

I voted for the stamps burger

White hinds countian here. I voted for Stamps. Oorah!

What percentage of these election reviews and challenges end up with a change in outcome? Less than 1%?

This is the losers way of saying he really didn't lose. Its become common since the hanging chads. Gore still claims he won. So does Trump. Saves face. Fact is, Stamps almost won in 2019 and you can't tell me the central district got whiter during the last four years. The transportation commish is already a democrat since 2019.

I've sat through ballot reviews. It is a burden on all involved to sit there and watch the loser go through the ballots as if a genie is going to pop out.

I was hoping for Mr. Stamps to be running for Mayor next year. That's where he is needed.

KF obviously voted for Stamps.

8:37, I help manage 60,000 acres in the lower Delta and I agree 100% with you; not one square foot of wetland will be drained by the pumps. The hydrology of the lower Delta is somewhat complicated and hard to understand without a deep dive. The Sierra Club takes full advantage of that fact by putting out false information in order to fund raise and keep themselves relevant. I wish the public could see the emaciated and dead wildlife during a big flood event. Louie Miller ignores that aspect.

The northern part of the Delta should not be in the central district. Legislature should have fixed this during redistricting.

Mr. Bailey won Madison county.
As he should have.

Mr. Bailey won Madison county.As he should have.

Only because Espy and the Blackmon twins failed to get out the vote.

The PSC is one of the most do-nothing agencies the government has ever invented. How can you run on a platform of stopping robo calls and the PACS that support you use Robo Calls and Robo Text messages to promote your campaign???

That just don’t make no sense!!!!??!!

I deal with the PSC. I got a firsthand view of Brandon Presley’s incompetence.

The electorate is not set up for a democrat to win with only dem support. Stamps got crossover gop support. So what ever Bailey did to piss off a portion of his base to loose, it must’ve been bad. Get over yourselves.

Presley didn’t even carry the top of the ticket. So to suggest cheating only in the psc race, or that somehow blac Dems showed up in droves only to vote for stamps— get a life.
Those ads that Bailey’s pack ran were grossly misleading, and I’m no stamps fan.

Stamps must be scared of something. Going to extreme lengths to stop Bailey from looking at the election materials - has now filed a motion in the Raymond District of Hinds County (judge shopping, possibly) and gotten Judge Peterson to halt the process until after the deadline to contest the election.

Must be either worried about, or in coohoots with, the braintrust that runs Hinds County elections.

Y'all are aware that Dekeither has no idea how to be a PSC, right? Does that matter? Apparently not. Geez
