A Mississippi judge ordered a new runoff election for a local election in Aberdeen after more than three-quarters of absentee ballots cast in the June Democratic runoff election were found to be invalid.
Judge Jeff Weill, in a 64-page order, said that there is evidence of fraud and criminal activity in how absentee ballots were handled, how they were counted, and actions from individuals at polling places during the runoff election held in Aberdeen, Mississippi. As a result, a new runoff election for the Ward 1 alderman seat is necessary, reported WCBI.
The judge ruled that 66 of 84 absentee ballots cast in the election, or around 78 percent, should have never been counted, according to WCBI. Nicholas Holliday was declared the winner of the alderman seat by 37 votes, while challenger Robert Devaull challenged the results in court.
“The court is of the opinion there is probable cause that several individuals involved in the disturbances during election day at the polling precinct ‘willfully and corruptly violated’ one or more of the above criminal statutes,” according to the judge.
“The court will leave to the appropriate authorities to determine whether the actions of Maurice Howard, Henry Randle and S. Nicholas Holliday amounted to prosecutable crimes,” the court filings said, referring to Police Chief Henry Randle and former Mayor Maurice Howard, who Weill said were involved in intimidation and harassment at the polling police on Election Day, according to evidence.

She was later released on bond, reports said. According to court documents, Jones said she admitted clear violations of her notary duties and allegedly said she assisted an individual or individuals in violation of the state’s voter fraud law.
Jones testified that she was called to the home of then Alderwoman Lady Garth to correct the woman’s father’s absentee ballot paperwork. Jones said she notarized “about 30 something ballots,” WCBI reported, adding that the judge found that 83 regular ballots were counted without being initialed by election workers.
The court filings said that another notary, Lu Stephens, made testimony that was determined not to be believable, according to the Daily Journal. The judge noted that other irregularities were noted, including ballot box integrity and not certifying the election in a timely manner.
“When you have an absentee ballot, there’s an envelope, you vote, fold the ballot, put it in an envelope, lick the flap, sign across the flap, then notary signs your election certificate, she testified that she didn’t sign in front of anybody, didn’t see anybody sign it, she just notarized it, just stamped them,” said Lydia Quarles, an attorney for Robert Devaull, told WCBI.
SCOTUS, except the Honorable Justice Thomas, could not care.
Roberts bows to Malta, is gay and controlled,
DID do Epstein Island, and his beard is into satellite
election fraud. No wonder there was a coup d’etat.
This is why the democrat’s new election bill must not pass the senate!
the RATS cheat against each other, but NOT against us, RIGHT...
So how did Robert Devaull get legal standing? Must be a Democrat.

Black female..biggest system scammers in the US. Look at 9election official in Florida was caught and charged. This is why we know what Abrams is up to.
“Baseless” “Without Evidence”
Epoch Times is doing good work. Ironically founded by Chinese dissidents.
We know this because Chuck Todd told us so.
Exactly. But is it really good work? Wouldn't these "Chinese dissidents" be instead really working for the CCP, if they are actually participating in throwing an American election for China?
That these "dissidents" could at least partially fund their stateside activism from paid Epoch Times subscriptions by their sworn enemies, red-blooded Americans who love America, would truly be irony, no?
Don't get me wrong. The Epoch Times has some amazing content. But maybe it's just identifying the anti-Chinese among us.... for later.
Good thing this is proven to only happen in local races...............(heavy sarc)
Only 75% ruled invalid? Wow, the Democrats are slipping. Nazi Pelosi needs to think up some more legislation to counteract this problem.
This is exactly what happened in the last federal election. And it is exactly why no one is allowed to look and see the evidence.
And thus the obvious reason they fought so hard against ballot audit and verification.
Obviously this judge is trying to suppress illegal votes.
How are the Rats going to win if he gets away with that.
UNLESS, of course, it was Donald Trump colluding with the Russians to defeat Hillary. Now that was election fraud.
