A Democrat claims that the election in which he participated was manipulated by another Democrat.

A county administrator in Jackson, Mississippi, claims that the county’s leading Democratic Party representative hindered his reelection campaign, prompting him to demand her resignation.

Thursday, District 2 Supervisor David Archie formally requested the resignation of Democratic Executive Committee Chair Jacqueline Amos. Supervisor Archie asserts that he has information indicating that Ms. Amos engaged in unethical behavior by manipulating the results of the Democratic Primary in order to ensure Anthony Smith’s victory.

The individual declares their intend to contact the state and national Democratic Parties, requesting the resignation of both the individual in question and their secretary. In addition, he is contesting the election results through the executive committee of the county.

“There’s a lot of fraud going on in Hinds County politics,” Archie accused. “But this time, it couldn’t have happened to a better candidate – a sitting Hinds County supervisor.”

Thursday afternoon, Archie held a press conference at the Hinds County Election Commission’s headquarters. The briefing is being held many weeks after Smith defeated Archie in the Democratic primary by a margin of roughly 1,900 ballots.

“We have videotape of Jacquie Amos going into boxes, bringing in thumb drives, bringing in ballots to be inserted into machines,” Archie alleged. “We have pictures of Jacquie Amos participating in what we think is fraud, as well as corruption.”

Archie provided journalists with a screen capture of a text message purportedly sent by Amos in order to support his claims.

The conversation exhibits an exchange of messages between Amos and an unidentified individual saying to not allow “them cheat Deborah Dixon out of her election. She won fair and square.”

Amos allegedly contends that Dixon emerged victorious and was “f—ing David Archie on site.”

“The bottom line is that we have the text, she’s the chairperson, she’s the one that’s responsible,” Archie asserted. “She must be impartial to any and all elections here in Hinds County and this does not speak that she was being impartial to an election.”

Amos provided a written comment via email to news reporters. “The Hinds County Democratic Executive Committee conducted the August 8 Democratic Primary in keeping with applicable state law,” the email read. “The executive committee has canvassed the returns and certified the results of the August 8 primary. Those results speak for themselves.”

WATCH:

Archie was accompanied by a number of supporters, including Taylor Pedigo, a resident of District 2, who questioned the veracity of the findings.

“I was watching the election numbers come in and immediately I knew that something funny was going on, that this man that I had never heard of, that I had never seen a yard sign of… came out the gate with a huge lead,” Pedigo said. “This leads me to believe that this needs further investigation.”

Cynthia Walker, a resident of Yazoo City, assisted Archie with his ballot recount.

According to her statement, the voting instruments utilized by the county incorporate multiple measures intended at guaranteeing the verifiability of the results. However, she asserts that the majority of these components were not utilized in the August 8 primary elections.

Utilization of paper ballots that are scanned upon submission is one of the protective measures implemented. In addition, the voting devices contain a machine tape that accurately calculates the number of paper ballots cast. In addition, media sticks are used to document the total number of ballots received by each candidate in each race on the ballot.

“I stand before you to tell you 26 out of 26 precincts did not include the tapes,” Walker alleged. “We don’t know how many votes took place because all we have are the paper ballots.”

In the interim, Walker informed the media that the custody of the “machine’s media sticks should have been” secured within the Hinds County Circuit Clerk’s Office. However, they were instead returned to the election commission’s headquarters.

“They were here in this building with an election commissioner, Mr. Clark,” she further accused. “He advises me that he had the right to be involved with the election. The law does not dictate that he’s the custodial person of anything. Those items are to be locked in Mr. Zack’s vault.”

According to WLBT 3 News, “Zack is Circuit Clerk Zack Wallace. He was not immediately available for comment. Clark is Jermal Clark, the election commissioner for Hinds County District Three. Clark declined to comment at this time.”

“Amos’ statement did not respond to the concerns raised by Walker.”

Jocelyn Amos, Jacquie’s sister, was present at the press conference and stated that Archie was unable to accept the results.

“David lost the election because the people wanted someone better, someone new,” she proclaimed. “I voted for him. But the people, they spoke. Not Jacquie Amos. Jackson did.”

And Democrats assert that election interference is unacceptable. Imagine if this were to occur on a national scale. Archie should be cautious, as the Democrats could indict him like they did with Trump.
