While Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba blamed his thrashing in Tuesday's Democratic primary on "Republicans", the reality tells a different story, right. It didn't matter who voted: black or white, rich or poor, Democrat or Republican, Prep or Provine, they all voted against the Mayor as State Senator John Horhn beat him by more than 2:1 in each ward in an electoral ass-kicking.
Some observations made upon studying the precinct reports:
* How dominant was Horhn's victor? Horhn won 77 of 79 precincts. Mayor Lumumba won once precinct.
* Horhn won all wards and it was not even close. Horhn's best performance was in Ward 1 as he carried 64% of the vote. The Mayor only got 10% of the vote in Ward 1 as Tim Henderson nearly beat him 2:1 as well. Horhn's weakest performance was in Ward 6 as he garnered only 26% of the vote.
Mayor Lumumba's best performance was on his home turf of Ward 2 where he got 22% of the vote. However, State Senator Horhn doubled his vote at 44%.
Indeed, Horhn beat Lumumba by at least 2:1 in all wards.
* Ward 1 produced the largest number of voters
Ward 1: 5,114
Ward 2: 4,708
Ward 3: 3,397
Ward 4: 3,613
Ward 5: 2,715
Ward 6: 2,833
Ward 7: 3,283
The breakdown by ward is posted below.
* No one in Precinct #33, Casey Elementary, voted for Mayor Lumumba. No one.
* How weak was the Mayor's performance? Funches beat him in three precincts and lost by a single vote in two other precincts.
* 24,591 voted in the Democratic primary. A grand total of 19,841 citizens voted in the same primary in 2021.

* The final totals were:
James Butler: 29 0.12%

This would have been over that day if so much hadn’t run !
Chowke! You loser! Move on and get ready for some federal time. Right?
* No one in Precinct #33, Casey Elementary, voted for Mayor Lumumba. No one.
Right.Directly.Across.The.Street.From.Castle.Lumumba.
OUCH!!!
You are toast Lumumba. Better start playing ball with the Feds.
Go look at the FB pages of Othor Cain and Brad Franklin. That's where the few supporters of Chokwe appear to be. As usual, it's the "yt" man's fault that he lost.
It would be foolish to underestimate Chok and Ruk's machine on 4/21
Based on Chockwe’s comments, it sounds like he is going to bring in some enforcers to go knocking on doors for the next three weeks.
Republic of New Africa suffers a set back !
Precinct 33 is Casey School. Doesn’t the mayor live across the street?
Total thumping. This ain't about no damn narrative, this is about 8 years as a complete failure and a city that will no longer tolerate the unmitigated incompetence.
Beat him so bad his great grandma feel it!
I never thought I'd live to see this day! I was sure Lumumba would win.
Unbelievable- and this precinct is directly across the street from where his dishonorable self claims to live-within 300ft- and not the first poll worker either- "* No one in Precinct #33, Casey Elementary, voted for Mayor Lumumba. No one."
It would be foolish to underestimate Chok and Ruk's machine on 4/21
Same machine that carried her across the finish line to victory? Antard got swamped in Rukia's home precinct.
And he only received 9 votes in 32 which means, when you subtract his own vote and that of his wife's, his net was 7. Probably pretty smart that he's living behind a tall gate.
Gonna take some SERIOUS shuckin' n jivin' to pull this one out of the fire.
Shock-way remains convinced that 'the man' did this to him.
There are still knuckleheads out there who will still say that Jackson voters are in love with Chokwe and want to see Jackson stay as it is. Actually it is they who want Jackson to stay as it is.
Pudgy Grizzell should take note how his ward voted.
So should the guys in the Ward 7 runoff.
There's a big reason Virgi didn't run again because she would have gotten smoked for her rubber stamping votes in support of Mayor Gumflapper.
Seems like a classic Donald Trump rigged election. It’s all a deep state witch hunt.
The Lumumba brand is DEAD. Where's all the losers now telling us that he's Bennie's slam dunk heir apparent?
All the USAID money in the world can’t put enough lipstick on the pig that is the Lumumbas. The entire family will pack up and leave Mississippi as soon as Chowke loses the election.
Few days back sent a print copy with the comments of Kingfish's "Jackson Hollowed Out Jackson" column to every mayor in Lumumba's BS commercial.
The difference this time is that Chok doesn’t have any money to pay said enforcers and door knockers, and none of them do anything for free. We should all know that part by now.
Hi Othor, thanks for stopping by. You too Kaze. Hey DonnerKay. Anna, howdy! WE KNOW y'all are reading JJ. Thanks for helping pay the bills. Better luck next time but good golly y'all have been backing a bunch of failed candidates lately.
The regular commenters on this blog who have been assuring us Lumumba would win need to talk to some people outside their bubble. All voters want good water, good streets and low crime. The mayor failed in all 3 areas and more.
Just wondering the financial deal made by Othor Cain & Brad Franklin to support Lumumba.. Othor was fired by Hinds County as chief spokesperson & was not hired back by Boys & Girls Club. Don’t know what Franklin does. But obviously their job is to stir up racial hatred.
He's going to take this ass kicking and go to Detroit and Atlanta and fund raise based on blaming it on everyone but himself and build his campaign funds up knowing he is done in JXN and then keep the money for his political exploits and/or himself. He's not going to report it as income either I bet. He will exploit this and fund raise his ass off, probably working harder than he did as mayor.
Choke wak - wagging the dog ...
I'm amazed that Socrates only has 648 friends.
Lumumba's hollering about his innocence during his short campaign speech election night after the results were in says all you need to know. He has to go through the runoff motions to keep his groupies thinking he's all-in but you'd have to conclude that avoiding jail is the biggest problem on his mind. He's in deep, deep shit. Like someone mentions above, the Lumumba name is stained and kaput.
And he's completely unaware that he is 'The Man' in Jacktown.
The Mayor got a whopping 21 votes in Belhaven.
Wonder how many of those were people new to town?
Uhm, nope. Didn't learn your elementary math did you?
Lumumba is about to have a lot more free time to plan his upcoming Club Fed vacation.
Checking the amenities, packing his bag...setting his comissary account!
Thinking about kitchen work vs mop operations...
Still hoping Sister R gets invited too!

Don't count him out yet. Still has a chance.
He can always go to work For Richard's Trash in their I.T. department
12:36 for the win
Anyone know what all cities had their mayor in the commercial?
1:31 PM, I can probably safely say there were no Mississippi mayors in the endorsement commercial. He had to solicit outsiders to endorse him with awards that most people had never heard of before.
Chokwe already ruined the city to a point where it will never recover no matter who replaces Chokwe as mayor.
As noted above, the mayor wants to claim that it was white Republicans who caused him to lose. One, that's racist as hell to say but not surprising from this mayor. But two, most of the so called white Republicans live in Ward 1. Even if you delete those 5000 votes from Ward 1 altogether, he still lost. Right at 25,000 people or 20,000 black people voted. If you delete all of Ward 1, and you still only got 4000 of those 25,000/20,000 votes, mayor. Face it, very few people are falling for your BS anymore, and the majority didn't want you as mayor any longer. I know with your super-sized ego that you won't admit it, but your tenure as mayor has been a complete and total failure, and people want no more.
Agree or not, his father has established a fairly well-respected name in the African American community here, but Antar has completely ruined that. (And Rukia didn't help very much either.)
The only “accomplishments” his supporters can point to is his fighting against the state taking the airport and Smith Wills. With Chokwe, it’s all about what you can do stand up to the white man. If the city goes up in flames, they don’t care.
You are racist if you don't vote Lumumba!
Good Lord. Who paid to clean up that mess? Jackson taxpayers?
Sure does, slim to none.
WOW!
Jackson just needs a new downtown hotel built with the city's borrowed money to fix that.
Or not.
It always shocks me when he says his goal has been to create a "dignity economy" for the African American citizens of Jackson But yet he has done the exact opposite. He hasn't given them dignity, he has taken it from them. They had to live for over a month without water thanks to his lack of effort to maintain the system, he has allowed sewage to stream down their streets for months and months, he has allowed their garbage to pile up for weeks and weeks, he made them live in crime ridden, violent neighborhoods, and the list goes on. As for "economy", he has not created any jobs, or better paying jobs, for them. There has not been a single economic development project or new major employer that he brought to Jackosn in 8 years. In fact, more businesses, employers, and jobs have left the past 8 years than any being created. I hate to sound cliche', but talk is cheap, mayor, and your actions speak louder than your words. You have "said" a lot but "done" very little, mayor, and what little you have "done" has been more destructive than beneficial. Please, in the future, stay out of the way and let Jackson heal.
Don't count him out just yet. He's a sleazy SOB and he'll do anything he can to get votes. The people in some wards are so stupid, they think he's a "truthteller", as he refers to himself.
I actually regret not voting for Rukia in her House race.
Whoopity fucking do......trading one idiot for a new idiot.
I don't get the commenters that are miffed about most of Mississippi thinking he would win.
You really cant blame anyone for thinking yall would pick Choke again.
He had already ruined Jackson quite thoroughly by 2021 and yall re-elected him.
I am not sure what he did to make yall wake up but I guess congrats for finally seeing what we all saw years ago.
Just go away
Yes he does - but Ridgewood Road might be a dividing line between precincts. I haven't had time to check the precinct map.
Horhn needs to campaign like crazy now. If those who are no longer in the running would toss their voters to him, that would be great. But Horhn needs to have people he trusts at every single polling place because we all know what is going to happen.
Those seven votes were likely cemetery ballots.
Imagine how happy Ted Henifin must be at the prospect of not having to deal with such a stupid mayor as Lumumba - assuming Horhn wiil be somewhat better. On another front, I'm willing to share my Lexapro with Charlie Drape at the Clarion Ledge, who won't get to worship the mayor in print anymore.
2:39, I don’t think much of the audience you are preaching to reads this blog.
What do people think Horhn will be like as a mayor? I don't know much about him, but he seems to be pretty knowledgeable when speaking about the city's issues. I do feel like he will get a chief in there that will beef JPD back up and back the officers, and I think he will not be as "radical" and will be able to work across the aisle.
Actually KF, while it was a complete ass whoopin', the numbers you are reporting aren't quite accurate; appears you may be eligible to be in the employ of the Hinds County Election Commission - who also don't quite know how to get their numbers correct when dealing with votes.
Lumumba won two precincts; not one.
Funches beat Lumumba in five precincts; not two.
Funches came within one vote of matching Lumumba in three precincts; not one.
Close - but no cigar. But the result is the same.
Yes, 3:08 - RIdgewood is the dividing line between precinct 33 (Eastover) and 32 (Leftover); although the results in his home precinct aren't much better.
No @3:22, he has one 'employee' right up Ridgewood Road - house with the 4x8 sign in the front yard. That's at least two more probably legit votes.
2021 was before the water crisis and Richards Disposal.
Why?
My expectations are low but if he's just a competent mayor it will be a massive step up.
Don’t get too excited. Remember Lee in 2013?
No fear Benny will give him a job so he won’t be gone unless the feds send him away
Lumumba should just secede now and focus on his defense fund raising. Or, is that to be supplemented by further campaign fund building...? 😏
Benny can’t “give” Antard any jobs. However, he has been praised by Michael Bloomberg, who awarded him for his “leadership” in Bloomberg’s publications. I could see Bloomberg hiring him as some sort of DEI analyst and offering him a high six-figure salary to move to Manhattan and work in his offices.
This is not a victory for Jackson, the Senator is dumber than a rock.
Shortwave LaMumbles = Not My Mayor
Link?
But is he corrupt?
@4:30, KF provided documents to review. Short of providing the same there's no reason whatsoever to take your word for the discrepancies.
Research. This is the city of Jackson, remember; there is no 'link' available because the City doesn't post anything worthwhile on line --- except of course the Mayor's election night celebration.
There is still hope, DePriest is a viable Independent candidate who would actually be a capable and an honest official.
A homeless guy at the corner of Lakeland would be better than Ladumba. It doesn't get any worse. A corrupt and truly unintelligent individual with absolutely no integrity and too stupid to know how to hide it.
I can't wait for the parties in the street on election night just to celebrate antard being finished. Hohrn is no genius but who cares.
12:22 PM, please, tell me you’re joking that Chokwe lives behind a tall gate, protecting himself and his family from the crime and chaos Democrats use to control cities like Jackson, MS forever! Please!
Who does Chokwe think he is? One of those hypocrite White Liberal Democrats Malcom X warned us about? Making sure their children don’t get murdered or killed with a stray bullet?
Chokwe doesn’t send HIS children to a private school, does he?
12:34 Bet he is not allowed to leave the state or if he does UNlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution may apply. My $ says he is going away to the Big House. & Feds don’t discriminate!
Sorry. DePriest is white. He ain't got a snowball in hell chance.
Let's get ready to paaaarrrttttyyyy!
Hell 1st round is on me🥂🥂🥂🥂
Stokes will MC!
If only about 125 more democrats had gotten off the porch and voted for Horne, Choc would be history. His dope boys kneecapped at least that many.
He lives in a "gated hood" on Ridgewood Rd just north of River Hills CC off Lakeland Dr
Yup, tall walls, tall gate. JPD officer, most hours, most days parked across the street in church parking lot keeping an eye on his place. The benefits of his so-called dignity economy.
I would argue the water crisis started far before the federal take over in 2022. Chuck certainly made no attempts to enforce cut offs post-Siemens debacle or collect payments to fund maintenance which ultimately led to the ruin of the water system before 2021.
I truly hope you did and are not BS'ing!!
