Why do some people keep saying that Billy Pegram won the Beat 5 Supervisors' election in Nov?
Let's look at the facts:
Rev Daley won the Primary election on 4 Aug 2015.
Judge Lackey vacated the Primary on 26 Oct 2015.
Therefore, there was not a winner of the Primary to move to the General on 3 Nov 2015.
Billy Pegram had qualified as an Independent to run in the General Election.
Are you saying that Billy Pegram won against Rev Daley or are you saying Billy Pegram won because there was not a candidate from the Primary to run in the General.
Here is the answer: By Judge Lackey's order, there was no Primary. Therefore, there was no General for the position of Beat 5 Supervisor.
So, here is another question: How come it is okay to ignore Judge Lackey's order in the Beat 5 Supervisor's election but enforce Judge Lackey's order in the Boykin problem?
And now Craig Jones wants to withdraw? Why is that? Answer the question Craig. Why are you withdrawing now? Because you too think Billy Pegram won the election and now there is no reason to continue pursuit of the Beat 5 Supervisor position? Come on Craig, Tell us why you are withdrawing now.
This is my take: This whole election was a set-up to regain power.
1. Beat 1: This was an honest effort to win an election. No problem.
2. Beat 2: This contest had too many candidates. Secondly, there were too many candidates who were not qualified in the area of knowledge about our County government. Most of the candidates didn't even bother to attend BOS's meetings. The Supervisor we have in Beat 2, won the election but has a long way to go in understanding the ins and outs of operations. I will say however, that the new Supervisor did vote to approve payroll and travel. So, what is the difference between Dec 2015 and Jan 2016? In Dec 2015 Burnett continued to vote against payroll and claims and travel and even approving the previous month's minutes. In Jan 2016, Johnson voted for payroll and travel. In my opinion, Burnett was playing games and it looks like Johnson is at least trying to learn. I do however, still object to all of the white people who turned out to vote for Johnson but continue to not attend BOS's Meetings. Oh and Michael Johnson, I object to you abstaining on the vote to remove Billy Pegram from the BOSs' table. Did you abstain because you didn't understand what the Board's attorney reported or did you abstain because you didn't want to vote against a fellow farmer?
3. Beat 3: I can't remember the lady's name that ran against Phillis Williams. But why? She sure seemed friendly with Clara Burnett and to me, she didn't appear knowledgeable about County government. I still don't think Williams voted in the best interest of the County in replacing Michael Thompson but otherwise Williams has done mostly a good job.
4. Beat 4: Who put Craig Harris up to run against Sonny Nickson. Harris doesn't live here.
5. Beat 5: I don't know why Judge Lackey approved Craig Jones to run in Tunica County. He claims homestead in Desoto County. Why do people think they can live outside of our County and run in our elections? Why was Curley Matthews running?
By the way, I still don't believe Cedric Burnett lives in Tunica County. He has a house here but where does he lay his head at night? Tunica, you keep putting up with this game playing. Why are you doing that?
And what about our current County Administrator trying to vote in our Primary when he lives in Olive Branch, MS? I have presented the evidence to the BOSs and they still voted to make him our County Administrator. Crazy.
It seems to me that most of these people were encourages to run in the Primary and expected to lose in the General to regain old power. I feel sure that is the case in Beat 5. And what about Jacqueline Boykin? Was she expected to beat Wes Ryals or was she a sacrificial lamb to displace Judge Linzy?
And how dare she go after individual citizens for $15,000 when she knows she voted in TN on 14 Nov 2014? Dishonest Jacqueline, dishonest. And why is MBI Captain Peter Clinton no longer employed at MBI? And why hasn't Attorney General Jim Hood acted on the MBI report suggesting Boykin be charged with 2 counts of voter fraud? And why didn't Gov Bryant set a date for a Special Election in Beat 5? As I've stated in a previous post, by not setting a date for a Special Election, Gov Bryant has effectively called the Beat 5 Election. Special Elections have been set before. Why is this any different?
And then there is Circuit Clerk, Sharon Granberry. Why do some folks keep repeating that the messed up voter rolls were the fault of the DEC? They were not. The Election Commission and the Circuit Clerk are responsible for those massive errors. And why didn't Granberry replace the erroneous lists on 4 Aug...just as soon as she discovered they were wrong? And I understand it was Granberry who called Attorney Kim Turner in the Sec of State's office to have me removed from the Library where I was a poll watcher for Marilyn Young. To say I was disrupting the voting process is a lie. That is unless you count knitting and drinking Powerade as disruptive. Oh, and then the Sheriff's dispatch sent the Town of Tunica Police to do what? They didn't find anything amiss. Total harassment. It is really quite laughable what some people will do to show just how powerful they are not.
And now we have the ongoing problem of Billy Pegram sitting at the Board of Supervisors' table and suing Rev Daley and the Board of Supervisors for a place at the table. Billy Pegram: YOU DID NOT WIN THE ELECTION. THERE WAS NO ELECTION.
