Mr. Stamps responded. 


Stay tuned.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Anonymous said...

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.

Anonymous said...

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

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.

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.
