The Senate race morass morasses (Updated: GOP Responds)

Update: Mike Espy is representing Madison County, Robert Sanders represents Jefferson Davis County,  Lee Thaggard represents Lauderdale County

The Mississippi Republican Party fired back with a response to True the Vote's petition for a temporary restraining order.  True the Vote also filed two affidavits as supporting evidence. True the Vote cites a Democrat voter "crossed over" and participated in the June 24 runoff election in Neshoba County.  The other affidavit is written by someone who claims he saw absentee applications destroyed. The rest is posted below.

Pretty weak.

Yep. If that's all they have it might get tossed.

Judging by the Republican Party's response, Mike Wallace reads the Steen decision exactly like Judge Mills did. Frantic explanation from John Pittman Hey in 3, 2, 1 ...

If you're McDaniel, I think today is the day that you realize it is all over. I mean, most of us would have admitted it weeks ago; however, we don't have his ego. But imagine, he wakes up this morning and Ann Coulter, of all people, tells him to bow out and basically says "your supporters are nuts and they are killing your career." Then True the Vote-whose name sounds like some MTV get out the vote drive circa "vote or die"- the Tea Party organization that you have been thinking is going to blow this thing wide opens, files their evidence and it is two weak affidavits. I mean, does McDaniel have any friends? I don't mean supporters, I mean a friend with some perspective who can take him to the bar, buy him a couple of cold ones, and just let him down easy.

Interesting that " the executive committee" members or members weren't named.
Interesting that Mr. Harding didn't have a cell to photograph these " provisional ballots" or call anyone immediately.
Interesting that he didn't try to memorize even one name off these " provisional ballots" where the eligibility was questioned and to be determined to learn if the person was or wasn't indeed eligible.

He certainly has the prettiest signature of any male I've seen save John Hancock's!

As for Ms. Waid, fine. Don't count her one vote. So in all of this searching we have ONE documentation?

In the Steen case, the court held that voter apps that had not been filed with the county registrar were not covered by NVRA.

Steen didn't hold that voter apps held by the county registrar either were or were not covered by NVRA.

If "True the Vote" is asking for any records that aren't held by some government agency at all, then Steen cuts against them.

Otherwise, Steen has nothing to say at all about this case.

The 5th Circuit has yet to rule whether NVRA applies to voter records held by a political subdivision of the State of Mississippi.

Someone please tell me what McDaniel's end game is.

I have a question: How is True to Vote allowed to be a 501c3 charitable organization if they are actively participating in promoting a political candidate or "party"?

According to the IRS website in Section 3 of 501c3 regulations political activity for 501c3 orgs is not allowed.

From the IRS site: Political activity. If any of the activities (whether or not substantial) of your organization consist of participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office, your organization will not qualify for tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3). Such participation or intervention includes the publishing or distributing of statements.

Whether your organization is participating or intervening, directly or indirectly, in any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office depends upon all of the facts and circumstances of each case. Certain voter education activities or public forums conducted in a nonpartisan manner may not be prohibited political activity under section 501(c)(3), while other so-called voter education activities may be prohibited.

To 9:56 So what if True the Vote claims - 'We are not for or against any candidate. We are for an honest election. If investigation into the facts show that Thad honestly won, so be it.' Think that would fly in court?

At last, a competent attorney weighs in! Kudos , Mr. Wallace!

Good piece 10:44 am

I don't know that " performance art" is appropriate. It's like calling a 20 car pile up , art.

This dude is an example of why our slander and libel laws as applied to " public figures" needs revision. As it stands now, any crazy person can smear anyone who has ever had their photo or name printed in a public venue.

Texas lawyers letting it be known they would object to WIngate as he was nominated by the Senator.

Dumbasses. Wind up with Reeves and you will be wishing for Wingate.

Wow. Somebody didn't do their homework before court. This is going leave a mark. Did they look a few things up before filing? OMG.

This seems to be one of those "Y'all Watch This!" moments. Except instead of being a rope swing across the creek this is ordinary people's lives and Federal Court.

The senior partners of Bierne Maynard and Parsons are not going to be happy when they get a huge black eye on their legal reputation.

Hope the biz Rick sends their way is worth it being a laughingstock.

My new favorite bit written about all of this -- Geoffrey Pender quotes McDaniel's "Hosemann is Evil" press release and then rocks some math:

"In the large majority of Mississippi counties, our volunteers have been greeted warmly by conscientious Circuit Clerks who take their jobs very seriously." But (McDaniel) said, volunteers have had problems with access to poll books in "approximately 58 counties."

Mississippi has 82 counties.


The root of McDaniel's troubles now clear -- REALLY bad with numbers.

Just saw Mike Wallace's response to the TRO filing. To say he brought the wood would be an understatement.

Was not Noxubee not only observed by the campaigns but by DOJ? And they are asserting voter fraud by this white Grandma?

PS and on top of that Noxubee was noted named as a defendant but the single affidavit about crossover was from there?

This conspiracy is HUGE. This doesn't even scratch the surface. So I hope you baggers will never wuit, because free dumb and the constitution and free markets and fund-raising, which brings me to this point where I need your help go continue my um, research. And I'd like to take my wife out for dinner occasionally, and she likes expensive restaurants, and because I'm always working for you, The real Mericuns of Jones County, USA, so I don't get to spend all the time with her that I would like to, and we want to start having kids soon, and kids are expensive, and we'll need help with formula, or maybe even fertility treatments, or possibly Viagra since I'm so tired from (did I mention?) working every waking hour, every hour every day, because that's what it takes to be an award-winning journalist and AA good glove, light-hitting second baseman for the Braves, trying to crack AAA and possibly get a cup of coffee in the Bigs before I retire to my scholarly research that I do to serve you, the patriotic TeaBaggers that pay all of the taxes that black people, libruls, and Democrats and RINOs don't psy because all they want is free stuff, but since nothing's free for award-winning journalists, can you send me a few bucks today? And then maybe some more next week and the next? Can we go ahead snd set that up on bank draft today? You know, that'll save you some time AND money for postage, which costs too damn much cuz of unions and so many blah people working there that are do laxy and, well anyway, if you don't have a bank account, can you just drop off some cash at JJ eith the Kingfish and I'll pick it up each Friday before I head to WalMart to get diapers and formula on my way to the stadium where I take 1000 grounders each day in pregame and about 40 pitches to hit, most of em bunts since I can't hit the deuce to save my life. But I can break stories and win awards for journalism by paying sources, which I need your help to pay so together, we can save America together with your generous, best love-gift weekly.

My favorite is how they "hold stories back" to make people think it's scaring the GOP when really it's just to get mo' money. I actually like that I can go and look at how many idiots gave this fool money- and put their name by it!

Find a gullible, extreme group and exploit that for all it's worth. Not a hard concept.

Anonymous said...

7/11@956. And research all those "big" companies, tax paying and nonprofit tax exempt businesses, taking millions in grant funding and then making financial contributions back to the candidate that helped them get the grant funding. Ha! made you think didn't it????

Anonymous said...

What's the difference in giving fool money and giving money to a fool or giving money to a candidate so he can give it back in huge grant funding to only make him and his buds rich? That only makes me look like a fool. Any way you look at it money to politicians hasn't dropped back in my pocket.... oh but by God it does to some folks. Now, depending on your response will tell me how full your pockets are and what candidate you are supporting. and that is that......

Kingfish said...

True the Vote did have some success last week against the IRS in that court fight. Give them some credit.

Kingfish said...

Pacer says the case was referred to Magistrate Linda Anderson. She is pretty good. Don't know what her role will be in this case.

Anonymous said...

Federal magistrates may take on some of the duties of a federal judge. They conduct many preliminary proceedings like discovery and consideration of petitions for post-conviction relief, but they do not make ultimate decisions in cases.

Duties of Federal Magistrates Involving Motions

U.S. district judges may require federal magistrates to submit proposed findings of fact and recommendations concerning motions including those for judgment on pleadings, summary judgment, injunctive relief (including temporary restraining orders) and motions to dismiss indictments, dismiss or permit maintenance of a class action or suppress evidence in criminal cases.

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.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. 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. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets.
