MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WHBQ The FOX13 I-Team has discovered an undercover investigation into voting fraud in North Mississippi. The Mississippi Attorney General is trying to find out who's buying people's votes in Benton County
“WHBQ”
First glance I thought it read WBBQ. Now that would be easy to remember!
Mississippi ping you haven’t seen on your
local Mississippi TV.
Benton is a rodent county. Is the rodent AG investigating rodentry or is he is pulling some bullcrap against non-existent Republican “fraud” ?
Are they investigating dead rodents voting?
“First glance I thought it read WBBQ. Now that would be easy to remember!”
ROFL. You and me both.
Ain’t nuthin better than grillin ‘n chillin’.
I grill in the rain and snow. If the weather is really bad, I’ll use an umbrella. (to keep the rain and snow out of my wine)
Benton County is 30 miles from here in rural NE Mississippi. The County went for Kerry and Gore in the last two elections and is 90%black and 95% Democrat. There is so much fraud in the counties in Ms that are primarily black and Democrat it is ridiculous.
He kind of looks like Jim Traficant.
Now if it turns out that it is demorat voter fraud it will end up on the back burner just like ACORN’s fraud in Washington State.
It’s not that Black nor rodent. It’s majority White, actually. As of 2000, it was 62% White & 37% Black. It went for Kerry by 53-47% in ‘04 and for Musgrove over Barbour 62-36% in ‘03.
Hillary won’t like this!!!!!!......
I’m going to guess that someone smart took a look at death certificates over the past 10 years and found several who are registered and have voted...after being dead. Just my honest guess. Can’t see how you want to pay someone off if you have have 90 percent democratic vote in the county.
Although there are some scattered counties in the east that are majority Black (such as rural Noxubee), the bulk of them are White. It’s mostly those along the Mississippi that are majority Black. It’ll be interesting to see how Benton votes this year for Governor.
I have family that live in Benton county. Place is soooo backwards that there is only one stoplight in the whole county!! When you think Benton, think Wanker county as in Married with Children.
I go through Benton County on 72 often. I have a good number of clients from Ashland. I thought the black population of Benton was higher considering what I see on 72 from New Salem to the Marshall County line.
I grew up in Red Banks in Marshall County but live in Southaven now.
Benton County is a place I remember growing was a place you impress a girl with a six pack of beer since it was a dry county. That’s why Benton is so poor, its dry!
And also the Farese family (trial lawyers) is the most powerful family there.
You could probably glance at the specific census tracts in the county to see where the more populous White and Black areas are, although of the only 3 incorporated communities in the county (Ashland, the county seat; Hickory Flat, at the south end of the county; and Snow Lake Shores, which is apparently near Ashland, but I can’t find on a road atlas) all are overwhelmingly White, between 80-97%.
I noticed the last time Benton voted GOP in a Presidential election was 1984.
Hey, at least they have *a* stoplight.
Quitman County (where I’m from originally) can make no such claim.
Well, it was undercover. Trust the media to be untrustworthy.
So.... If the AG a rat, he isn’t looking at rat fraud, right?
Rat fraud ? Heavens, no. What’s rat fraud ? Rats are as pure as the wind-driven snow. That’s what the media tells me.
Funny, I live in Ashland and have never had any trouble out of the people in Benton county. As a matter of fact the town is around 85.10% White.
Any county in NE Mississippi that is predominantly Democrat is going to have a significant number of voter fraud and government fraud (medicare/farmers) issues.
I see you signed up to the FR today....8-3-07....
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.
