True the Vote pulls out.

True the Vote and other plaintiffs filed a notice of voluntary dismissal. Looks like they took Judge Mill's advice.  Notice is posted below.

WITHOUT prejudice....fwiw, they needed to have gotten judge biggers if they wanted a judge who is not scared of the machine

hopefully they will re-file in southern district

3:51 - without PREDJUDICE this wouldn't have been filed in the first place...fwiw.

If this whole election and its fallout had been made a movie prior to 2014, many people, including me, would have said it some poorly written attempt at comedic Southern satire.

But as cliche as it sounds, life is stranger than fiction.

Enough!

What in the hell are McDaniel people thinking?

It's clear they were convinced they would win the run off. They have clearly not looked at any angle of a challenge. Now they have splinter "Al-McDaniel" groups swooping in with fractured PAC money all shooting and then aiming.

This turd burger of a lawsuit didn't even try to set venue correctly. The only thought one guy had was "um, let's file it where there are no black judges." And so it was.

I feel like I'm watching Bo and Luke Duke get chased by Roscoe P Col-Tyner and Enus Watson with Boss McDaniel and the smartest one of the bunch is the damn dog Flash!

Cug yuck yuck yuck....

Filed by True Vote in the first place WITHOUT BRAINS.

They are already packing. They know they've been misled and the " examination" of the ballot boxes is proving just that.

A prediction: end-of-week or first of next, McDaniel, donning his statesman-like robes, will announce that, in the best interests of the Republican party and the Great State of Mississippi, despite the many wrongs committed and his being the party's true nominee, he has ordered his troops to stand down. This, because he knows his position is defenseless, is called making a virtue of necessity (or, in the vernacular, polishing the turd).

McDaniel will drag this out as long as possible. The more damage done to neighbors, Republicans, and his state the better, in Tea Party land. The paranoid with a persecution complex always lash out at those closest to them. That is the base that fuels the Tea Party. The Rich just fund them.

Boy, that was fast! Just this morning the president of True The Vote was on Fox News talking about the thousands of illegal votes they had already uncovered.

5:53,

No way in hell. He is already saying the GOP Exec Committee won't view his "evidence" fairly.

Anonymous said...

I wish I thought McDaniel would stand down gracefully at some point.
Nope.
He'll be on FOX talking about how corrupt the GOP and the court system is in MS.
He'll continue to blacken our State's reputation in his own self interest.
That's all his running has ever been about...Chris.

Anonymous said...

@ 7:18 PM... Wow! Like Mississippi isn't the most corrupt state in the union and so you are full of it by blaming McDaniel.

On another subject... I am so crushed that True the Vote has pulled out.

What about the latest news through Chuckie's news website on the net, KF? Are you going to share with us what Chuckie is reporting?

8:05. Nobody but you wingnuts give a shift. Nobody. Flaming, freaking rube fools.

5:28 is exactly right. TTV has actually started to see the actual ballot box counts and they have realized that there are no "thousands" of alleged illegal votes. In fact, I would bet the eventual number of ineligible people who voted will only come to a few hundred, if that. It's going to come out very soon that this has all been hogwash.

True The Vote withdrew its petition from MsGOP north and Hosemann. They can still refile and according to the Clarion Ledger may do so by filing in Jackson. Personally, I think the fat lady has arrived and she getting ready to sing. When Neil Fritsch offered nothing for proof, and the Cochran campaign found another 1000 votes FOR Cochran, it's not looking good for McDaniel. Again, I have no problem with his challenge but it is looking like his challenge is not producing what it hoped it would. IMHO

Is anyone else worried that this is going to bring unwelcome Justice Department lawyers in to protect the perpetually threatened black voter? Mississippi is already under the gun from other states' congressmen who want to reinstitute the full Voting Rights clauses, and this thinly disguised campaign to negate the crossover black vote is just fuel for their fire. The collateral damage of Chris McDaniel's shenanigans is beyond disturbing.

Yep, what I saw yesterday were no crossovers after an all the live long day review by the McD folks. What little there was were clearly isolated innocent mistakes which can't change an election by law unless there is a large pecentage of it, which there was not. Insignificant. The Circuit Clerks ran honest poll workers. Too bad for der Furher.

9:31 Chris McDaniel is DISTURBING!

Anonymous said...

9:31 and 9:59: ALL of the McDaniel bagger klan are distrurbing! Be sure to look at what Granny McDaniel posted over on the other thread on "Nursing Mothers". Here's a recap:

"Anonymous Anonymous said...
Question: #1 Why would the post from 5:52 ever have been accepted on this thread?
#2 Why is it acceptable on this forum to call people tea-baggers? If I decide to call people cock-suckers, or dick-lickers or poop-eaters would that be published? If those terms are unacceptable, WHY are posts from those unable or unwilling to use the term Tea Party members acceptable. Just wondrin.

Go Granny McDee!!!

Huh? The GOP in Mississippi 'corrupt'. Say it ain't so. Sadly, these people don't even realize they're corrupt. It's like being poor. If you're raised that way from birth, you're blindsided by the reality when someone calls it to your attention. At first you say it ain't so. Then it sinks in and you claim it don't matter anyway.

True the Vote et al will likely refile in Jackson. However, Judge Mills fired some warning shots across the bow of their case.

They didn't even file the right petitions. Didn't ask for a TRO, for example. Look at this petition from the Blue Cross v. State of Mississippi case last year. Kaufman of Brunini shows how to do it right.

Zorek, they can re-file and I knew that but I suspect will be tucking their tails and running instead.
They hauled over here half-cocked , believing that the McDaniel's campaign hadn't misled them.
Their local counsel added to their embarrassment by not bringing them up to snuff on MS law and how to file properly.
They are looking like incompetents as a result.
They can't be happy about being dragged into this mess without anyone watching their backs and I expect Rick might get a bit pissy about it as well.
The question is whether or not Rick will cut his losses or try to bluff it through with McDaniel. I'd advise him to cut losses but he might decide otherwise. Whether or not his legal boys are totally dependent on Rick's referrals or if their clients expect competence as well is also a question for them as well.

I'd think it professional suicide to re-file but maybe they are just a political firm with no need for legal skills.

I just love reading those who still resent they couldn't be in a fraternity for whatever reason.

Reminds me of girls who still hate anyone they suspect was a cheerleader!

I know not everyone goes to college, but those of you who associate fraternities with privilege are hysterically funny!

There are guys who are so well liked and who made such good grades, they get accepted and work to pay their dues.

There are guys who get full ride scholarships and are well liked enough to be invited. Some even get elected Senator!

Y'all just keep on pretending that the reason you aren't doing better is that those who are were born advantaged and given breaks you didn't get and now their whole purpose is life is to keep you down.

It may be that you are ( and you seem to still be) an unpleasant person with a chip on your shoulder!

9:59; What in the hell are you talking about?

Anonymous said...

To 9:59 where did the Fraternity comment come from? I don't follow what that has to do with anything. But I do believe you are somewhat mistaken in thinking that most people want to be in a fraternity. When I was in college that crowd was about 10% of the students. I am certain that some of the other 90% wanted to join and were not accepted, but most of us just wanted no part of it. For me, I was recruited by some of them. I reasoned that the first time they told me to shine someone's shoes or some other silliness, I would tell them to stick it. So why even bother?

Appreciate McDaniel. Voted for him. Will continue to support him.

Let the threats, name calling, and beatings begin. It has absolutely no effect on me.

10:10 Let me know if you figure it out.

Anonymous said...

So they are incompetent in everywhere, then,KF?

Missed your point of " doing it right" with Brunini example.

I thought you were pointing out that one of the jobs of local counsel is to help navigate the local water so as to improve your chance of success.

10:10 am...all the TP " frat boy" references smack of penis envy.

Here's a hint. Successful rednecks send their children to college and pay for them to join a fraternity or sorority.

You sound like the gangbangers who make fun of the " smart" kids and who bring down more than a few athletes who try to stay in the 'hood.

Why don't you put in every fraternity you can spell and put the word " famous" in front of the fraternity and see whose names you see. Quite a few that you imagine as " good old boys" just like you, aren't.

Does that help you ? Or is the chip on your shoulder obscuring your vision?

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.
