OFFICIAL: Mississippi Election Thread- Go Musgrove!

Mississippi:
http://www.thejacksonchannel.com/politics/2592199/detail.html

In my experience it seems like election returns from Mississippi tend to bounce around all over the place given the highly racially polarized voting patterns and precincts.

In fourteen counties, Republicans were videotaping EVERY VOTER as they signed their name and cast their vote.

According to Moore, it was an intimidation attempt to make people stay home. Moore saw his own secretary on one of the tapes.

I wonder what kind of impact that will have on the race.

"Election officials had extra voting booths hauled into South Mississippi precincts on Tuesday morning to accommodate a heavier than expected turnout. ..."

Musgrove(D)50
Barbour (R)49
Dillon (G)1

Please don't tell me they're still that fucking stupid.

John Thomas Cripps (Cnl)
Shawn O'Hara (RP)

Whatever Cnl and RP are :evilgrin:

Cripps is from the Constitution Party and Shawn O'Hara's from the RP

:evilgrin:

cnl is Constitutionalist Party
rp is Reform Party

Dillon may actually cost us the race if its close...

I was going to ask about that.

What are you watching/listening to?

I am PISSED that Jackson channels ARE NOT carrying election returns. I am listening to PRM.

Is ETV going to carry results?

I can't find anything. I've seen trailers at the bottom of WAPT but thats about it.

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't I watch this on wlbt four years ago?

Can't believe they aren't covering elections!

eom

GO MUSGROVE/BLACKMON/ANDERSON/HOOD!!

Kentucky has just basically been declared for the republican and the media says this is the big test for '04---as in "bye, bye, loser Democrats". They are so subtle. This disgusts me. The propaganda (building on the great repuke victory in CA) has just begun.

Cuz Musgrove will TAKE this election. See the post about Delta voting.

WOOO HOOO!!! Can y'all tell I am hyper??

that the polls will have to stay open to EIGHT PM!!!

Hot DAMMMM! It's looking GOOD FOR MUSGROVE, BLACKMON, ANDERSON, AND HOOD!!!

I like it. Who lives in Delta County? Lots of Democrats?

I love it. I so want Mississippi to stay Dem. Kentucky was a loss from the start, due to a scandal plagued Dem Governor heading out of office.

But if Musgrove can pull it out, I can easily point out Republican weakness in the south.

PLEASE LORD, HELP US WIN!

WOO HOO!!

Lines very long in black precincts. They ran out opf ballots. Polls were ordered to stay open another 3 hrs. Republicans whined and got another federal judge to close the polls in 45 minutes.

I don't get it.

http://www.sos.state.ms.us/elections/EleResults/select_election.asp

It's a statewide race their, what's the deal?

since polls are still open in the Delta until 8, they may not start releasing results until after 8.

Not sure. I am listening to Public Radio.

Basically set the site up ahead of time, and just add the votes as they come in.

Some Counties Report Party Interference With Voting
People In Madison, Copiah, Lafayette Complain

POSTED: 11:32 a.m. CST November 4, 2003
UPDATED: 11:34 a.m. CST November 4, 2003

JACKSON, Miss. -- Polling stations around the state are so far reporting strong turnouts for today's general election, but the busy voting has not been without problems.

Secretary of state spokesman David Blount said several counties -- including Madison, Copiah and Lafayette -- have reported problems with party representatives interfering with poll workers.

Today at midmorning, Secretary of State Eric Clark sent a statement to circuit clerks and election commissions statewide alerting them to the problem.

Clark said his office has received calls about poll watchers who are "stating they have the right to stand at or behind the poll workers' tables, or sit at the poll workers' tables, so that they can watch as the poll workers mark the poll book."

Intimidate, intimidate, intimidate. Repukes suck!

together the coalition of good ole boys and African American voters. He was hoping that the voters would realize that ole Haley ain't "one of them." Ronnie Musgrove is a good guy, a very hard worker. He grew up the hard way over in Panola county.

I talked to a number of "good ole boys" in Northeast Mississippi. They weren't buying Haley's junk. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Great sign about the Delta voters. Ronnie was in the schools last week over in the Delta.

However, it's still very early.

This is what I just saw verified on a local NBC affiliate.

so their results come in earliest. This is a familiar pattern...just wait til the delta votes start pouring in. WhaBAMM!

N T

I don't see where they indicate where the returns are coming from.

http://www.wlox.com/Global/story.asp?S=1510960&nav=6DJHIuye

Both Musgrove and Lt. Governor candidate Barbara Blackmon thought a big turnout at predominantly black precincts would bolster their vote totals. The democrats initially got what they wanted. Election commissioners had to bring three more voting booths to the North Gulfport precinct to handle crowds that easily beat primary totals. Precinct manager Mary Ducksworth said the turnout this time was "much better. We got sleepy last time."

Biloxi's Donal Snyder Community Center also ordered extra voting stands, when its early morning turnout exceeded expectations.

When you click refresh, it takes you back to the original page. Nothing big, but just a few extra clicks.

This site looks the best. The Jackson Channel isn't showing any returns.

Works a lot better.

:hi:

Still only 1% reporting.

Hood is leading Newton!

Getting results as it's happening.

I really loved that operation. Great music, well run news department. Class act all the way around.

up here in MI we are hoping for a DEM win for you guys

And I read part 1 of Zell's article in the Washington Post, I aim to see that our party works hard to reach out to all of you. I think Edwards did a great job in the debates pointing how alot of Southerners feel talked down too especially by our Dem candidates.

We will and must reach out to all, let's be the National Party we need to be!!!

Rest of you guys need to follow our lead. :-)

Big swing county in Ohio, overwhelmingly voted Dem.

GREAT NEWS!!

ASS!

Ronnie Musgrove (Dem) 7,036 50%

I won't concede :-) until the Delta comes in. Delta will be last votes to come in. Four years ago, Mike Parker thought he had it in the bag, and then the Delta came in and put Musgrove ahead by over 8,000.

This will be a LOOOONG nite, folks. Bear with us.

:toast:

By 1 per cent according to the link of the original post!


John

We're gonna pull it off, guys! Can you believe with Bush, Cheney, Guiliani, and other big whigs visiting this state stumping for Barbour that Musgrove is STILL GOING TO WIN!!

Call me optimistic, but it's gotta happen. Bush won't get his approval from Mississippi!

HOPE I have had all week! Go Musgrove!

Bush can consider himself dustrolled by us Mississippi Dems in, oh, about three hours.

LOL! :loveya:

:D

Take that Asscroft!

:evilgrin:

I've projected him the winner.

conservative state in the Union. Bush and Cheney and Guiliani and others rolled in to help the former head of the RNC. This is the state of Trent Lott. If Musgrove pulls this off, it will be huge, huge, huge.

Go Ronnie.

God loves you, pick it up buddy! Do it for the working man!

However, the Delta turnout is a very positive sign.

Regardless of who gets the most votes, you need a majority to win. If no one gets 50%, it goes to the Legislature. Four years ago, no one got 50%, and the Legislature elected Musgrove.

so I'll ask it here. I know that Govenorships were at stake in Mississippi and Kentucky.........what's up in Louisianna. Apparently I missed something. Is it the governorship?? Anyway, what's going on down there tonight. Whose winning and what party is the incumbent..is there an incumbent???

I believe Louisiana doesn't decide till next week.

Fletcher :puke: won Kentucky.

they've got that screwed up French parish thing going, ya know. Do everything according to old world principles. ;-)

:loveya: coonasses!

Personally, I don't understand why it's NOT on a non-working day.

47. Philly Inquirer just called it for Street


And they used the word "trouncing."

A trouncing! A trouncing!


:evilgrin:

Does Mississippi use Diebold machines? I hope not.

Has a shitload of computerized voting machines.

They can't steal what they already have.

Don't worry, folks, the Delta hasn't come in.

Here is why I am hopeful. Here in my area, precincts are going for musgrove--traditionally conservative, usually republican precincts are going for Musgrove! AND they are keeping our black Democratic sheriff in!

It's looking pretty good.

Barbour 53/46

13% PRECINCTS REPORTING

Sherman Dillon 452 0%

Please oh please.

It will seesaw all night. Sometimes will be thousands of votes apart, sometimes will be exactly even, then other candidate will pull ahead.

When the Delta vote comes in, it will throw Musgrove over the top.

I need another glass of wine. :-)

Watching the Mississippi returns for the Presidential race. For a fleeting hour or two it seemed like Bill Clinton would carry the state. What a coup that would have been seeing as how he didn't campaign in the state. The numbers bounced around like a ping-pong ball before Dole won 49%-44%.

I am very pessimistic right now.

:puke:

I'd like to know a little more about who I'm rooting for here. The only thing i know about this race is Barbour is a racist scum bag.

www.ronniemusgrove.com

They are split on governor. But they think the second in command should be GOP. They are heavily in favor of a Dem Secretary of State because they want a trustworthy Dem counting the votes. They are heavily in favor of a GOP State auditor, because they think a Republican can count the money better. They are heavily in favor of a Democratic Attorney General, because they think a Democrat will be fair to all, not just GOP donors. Heck, they are also heavily in favor of a Dem Secretary of Agriculture, because we're tree huggin liberals... and they seem to respect that.


Interesting. Very interesting.

http://www.thejacksonchannel.com/politics/2592199/detail.html

and jumped party a year after we worked our asses off to get her elected.

Forever. I can't wait for 10 years from now, when the south is voting overwhelmingly Dem... recognizing the error. I know it's a ways off, but I believe it is inevitable.

My two cents (I'm from Ohio but I was born in South Carolina). Lived in SC till I was 10.

nt

Very dissapointing a state would vote for an unapologetic and overt racist as its governor.

that's why I have to get drunk to listen to it. :-)

John Bennett, Republican President of the Senate, has been defeated by Ellen Karcher!

Democrats have won control of the New Jersey Senate! Right now, only the fourth district is undecided.

:kick:

Only republican senator George Geist's reelction is too close to call while the assembly is apparently going to the democrats as well.
