Mississippi: They've run out of ballots in 9 districts in predominantly black areas

But I'm sure it was just an innocent mistake

At least 9 precincts in Hinds County—Mississippi's most populous county and the home of the 83%-Black capital city of Jackson—have run out of ballots in the statewide election.

The polls are set to close at 7 p.m., but court orders could keep them open.

BREAKING At least 9 Hinds county precincts have run out of ballots, according to the clerk. Election officials are now scrambling to quickly print new ballots and rush them out to the polling places. It could be a long night this Election Day.


I wonder how a county that has a 93% black population could run out of ballots? It's almost like they wanted to suppress the vote of the black community.

The line at the polling place just off William & Mary’s campus is out the door and only growing.

Most important thing about the line: it’s all young people who are registering to vote today — this doesn’t even include the line of students who were pre-registered!

Amazing tweet by George Conway mocking the Republican religious fanatics in the House and their 10 Commandments

https://twitter.com/gtconway3d/status/1717540286195212322

George Conway:

To be posted in all Members’ offices per order of the Speaker:

1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me, except thou shalt followeth thy Orange Jesus over any moral cliff.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, unless thou shalt have purchaseth it on http://DonaldJTrump.com.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, except when thou shalt attacketh Brandon or thy RINOs.
4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy, unless thou attendeth a musical production in Denver.
5. Honour thy father and thy mother, and burieth thy mother on thy father’s golf course.
6. Thou shalt not kill, but thou shalt shooteth looters on sight, and puteth alligators in thy moat to keepeth out the Mexicans.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery, but if thou shalt do so with thy porn star, thou shalt payeth her off through an intermediary and falsifieth thy accounting records.
8. Thou shalt not steal, unless thou needeth to steeleth one moreth than a certain number of popular votes or unless thou can hideth thy stollen documents at thy bathroom in thy resort.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness. LOL.
10. Thou shalt not covet (but seeth nos. 2, 4, 7, and 8 aboveth).


Greg Steube:

In January, @RepMikeJohnson joined me on the House floor while we were in a deadlock over who our next Speaker would be. We lifted up the speaker’s race to the Lord and asked for his divine guidance. Immediately after the prayer, 14 members changed their votes, ultimately leading to Speaker McCarthy securing the gavel by the end of the day.

Mike Johnson is a strong conservative, but above all else, he is a strong Christian. He’s not afraid to look to his faith for guidance. America needs that more than ever in the U.S. House.

I look forward to voting for Mike Johnson as our next Speaker🇺🇸

Democrats are taking the House back in 2024

And Hakeem Jeffries will be voted in as Speaker of the House on the FIRST VOTE in January 2025.

And we have plenty of videos to use in TV ads about how bad Republicans are at actually running anything.

Lee Zeldin had same campaign treasurer as George Santos. She recently pleaded guilty.

Some GOPers are floating Zeldin as Speaker (as they did in January).

But Zeldin had used Nancy Marks in his campaigns for 14 years.

She recently pleaded guilty to various charges from the Santos campaign.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/george-santos-defense-ex-campaign-treasurer-nancy-marks-guilty-plea/

Marks, who was a top financial official on Santos' congressional campaign, pleaded guilty on Thursday to one count of conspiracy to commit offenses against the United States, which included wire fraud, falsifying records and identity theft, according to court documents.

Nancy Marks, the political accountant embattled Rep. George Santos also used for his congressional runs, won’t be a part of the PAC, Zeldin said Monday at the New York State Conservative Party Political Action Conference in Albany.

Republicans should be forced to carry Kevin McCarthy to term

Republicans should be forced to carry Kevin McCarthy to term, even if it endangers the life of the party.
