I lived just over the boarder in Tennessee, but much of my business was in Benton County...Farmers, government, and businesses. I ran the mobile phone and other radio services prior to Cellular.
There are a lot of good people in Benton, but I admit it is
pretty low on the totem pole in culture and services.
It was about 30 years ago when I helped a friend who was running for sheriff of Benton. I was a pole watcher for him in the village of Michigan City and at that time vote buying with the blacks was common. It took only a half pint or a few beers to have a voter declare that he needed someone to go in the booth with him. Needless to say, my friend lost.

The same for Tippah and Alcorn County. I have seen ballot boxes shopped around after the voting was stopped. Don’t forget that the State Line Mob and that mentality predominates in NE Mississippi and because we are so far from Jackson, the criminal Democrat fraud machine works almost with impunity. The trial lawyers also put a great amount of money into the local elections here because they can buy a representative here cheaper with just as much say than they can in the more populous counties.
