McInnis and his fellow Hinds County Democratic Executive Committee member, Chairwoman Jacqueline Amos-Norris, provided Breitbart News with email evidence that Perry and Connie Cochran were trying to not "switch the books" on runoff day. "Connie, unless I send you something in writing, it does not exist," Norris wrote to Connie Cochran in the email dated June 18, six days before the runoff. "Claude informed me of what Pete said to you about the Poll Books and that's not true and not legal. If I need to come down, please let me know.”What supposedly happened, according to McInnis and Norris, is that Perry told Connie Cochran that McInnis agreed to not switch the books. McInnis and Norris both said that isn't and wasn't true, which was why Norris sent that email to Connie Cochran to inform her that it was not true.

Cole, the state Democrats’ chairman, said it really wasn't the end of it because Perry somehow managed not to switch the books in several precincts across the county. "We have no way of knowing how many it happened at because we didn't have the authority to go into most of the precincts in Hinds County," Cole said, noting that because of the fact that the third congressional district was happening in just 15 Hinds County precincts, the Democrats only saw what happened there.
Cole also said that he thinks not switching the books could "absolutely" have happened in scores of Mississippi's 82 counties and more than 1,800 precincts. "This process had to be honored in every precinct in Mississippi, all more than 1,800 precincts":

McInnis also alleged that Perry personally illicitly decided which absentee ballots in Hinds County would be allowed and which ones would not: “This is a thing that's supposed to happen at the precincts. But we watched him decide which absentees would be voted and which absentees were not going to be voted. He also decided which affidavits would be voted and which ones would not. We watched him do that. We watched them break the law.”
Hinds had a huge increase in total votes for the runoff. Cochran won the runoff
by 10,981 votes in Hinds county which is substantially over his statewide win
total. That is truly where the race was won, imo.
I’m using the following Politico numbers as the SOS isn’t posted yet.

I saw that happen at a school election once. I couldn’t believe my eyes.
