The Clarion Ledger has more here.  Canton (MS) is where a nephew of the infamous Ike Brown recently won an election.  The Clarion Ledger reports “Ray Rosamond, an ex-alderman who lost the Democratic Ward 1 runoff election to Rodriquez Brown, has said the municipal elections – especially his race – were rife with fraud. He sees the indictments as a step toward long-awaited justice.”

The indictments remain sealed.  The District Attorney said “all three indicted last week are convicted felons who either registered or voted after being convicted of a disenfranchising crime.”

The Clarion Ledger goes on to mention Ike Brown: “The controversy surrounding Canton’s elections began in May when Rosamond alleged people outside of Ward 1 and Canton voted in the race and that some voters were provided illegal assistance by poll workers, which he said aided Brown to victory.  Rosamond also charged that Ike Brown, Rodriquez Brown’s uncle, interfered with the election.”
