NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A special committee of the Tennessee Senate voted this evening to void the special election for state Senate District 29 that Ophelia Ford of Memphis won by just 13 votes last year. The matter now goes to the Senate floor Thursday. After nearly three hours of heated debate, the resolution succeeded 17-to-14.
Last year, Ford was declared the winner of the seat held by her brother John Ford, who resigned after being indicted on bribery charges in May. The results of the election have been challenged by Ophelia Ford's Republican opponent, Terry Roland. His attorneys say they have identified 146 questionable ballots, and state Election Coordinator Brook Thompson has confirmed that at least six votes should not have counted.
They include two ballots cast in the name of deceased voters, three felons and one who no longer lived in the correct district.
I see dead people voting....
The lady that was paid to work the voting precinct in this district in Memphis got paid. Only one problem, she was on a government paid junket with the NAACP to D.C. at the time of the election and her signature was what was on the certification of the votes in the district and its been proved she wasn't even there. This election of Ms. Ofeelya Ford is proving to be one large corruption scheme of the 10th degree. All Democrats, all blacks, all NAACP, and all Memphis.
It's about time.
I live in Nashville and I vote to just go on and give Memphis to Mississippi - if they'd even take it.

Is she going to make Memphis happy chocolate again like Ray Nagin?
Ha! Maybe she needs a tall, dark, and handsome man like King Willie to run her campaign next go around and escape the evil clutches of those "folks in Germantown."
Can you believe these people actually hold an office? Crooks, bigots, and conmen.
Auntie, whom if she was any more Caucasian, could preside over a Klan rally, has probably been in stuned beeber shock that she didn't win in a landslide over her White Republican opponent in a district like that. The truth is, a lot of the residents there are waking up to the mass-scale corruption the Ford/'Rat PLANTATION (No, Hillary, the plantation is YOUR party) has wrought. Yes, Auntie, of "Honkasian" Complexion, you just keep blaming the White folk for keeping you down, no one will fault you for not wanting to look in the mirror, you might turn to stone !
Auntie, Auntie, the milky white chocolate melt on your face, not on your hands !
There she was on the news tonight, citing Racism and Jim Crow while citing all the good that her family has done for West Tennessee. She's a Ford.
"I see dead people voting...."
Those thugs may even kill a few republicans and have them vote democrat.;^)
So I take it that Ophelia is from what you once described as the "G.K. Butterfield Vitiligo Wing of the Congressional Black Caucus." Please post a picture to see just how dark-skinned this "black" politician really is.
Is the district really 85% black? And the GOP ran a white guy who got around 50%? Had we run a black guy against Ophelia, we probably would have won with over 60%.
fyi
I work at City Hall in Memphis and at one time or another, I've seen most of the Fords. And I can honestly say that I am less pigment challenged than most of them. The exceptions to that are Joe, Emmitt, and Edmund. Harold (Sr. and Jr.) and the illustrious John look like ghosts.
I'm not holing my breath. This was a "committee" consisting of the entire Senate but since it was "in committee" the recommendation is only that they vote on it on the floor. The GOP is technically in the majority although there are several RINOs who can still torpedo this.
If you have seen how light skinned US Rep. Harold Ford Jr. is (Ophelia's nephew) then you know that the Fords African American claim is thin. I would bet that they have much more European linage than African.
Mississippi is a consistently Republican state. They wouldn't have Memphis. Memphis has more in common with the USSR than the USA.
