Voter Intimidation in a Mississippi Court – DOJ Snoozes

A judge in Mississippi has ordered a new election after voter intimidation and bullying infected a Mississippi election. 

Johnson ruled that Kimberly Readus, a member of the Canton Democratic Municipal Executive Committee, used “profanity and bullying tactics to create a breach of the peace, intimidate voters and poll workers to disrupt the election process.”

You can read the whole story here at the Clarion Ledger.  But if you work for the DOJ Voting Section (and we appreciate all the traffic every day, we really do), don’t waste your time. This is an exercise in throwing a dog an imaginary bone.  If you chase the story, you’ll be deflated.  Wrong skin color.

Nobody at DOJ will do anything about this judicially determined case of voter intimidation.  Of course you know why.  In this case, the perp did his deeds to help a relative of Ike Brown, so he’ll get a pass from all of those attorneys desperately combing for a new Section 2 case while a Section 11(b) case may be a phone call and plane ride away.
