DOJ lawyer arrives in Mississippi for Noxubee ballot count

I previously reported how the DOJ sent monitors to Noxubee County Mississippi for the election last week, but had to borrow lawyers from the Housing Section willing to go.  I’ve learned that another DOJ lawyer (who is willing to protect all, not just some) voters is this moment en route to Noxubee County to monitor the counting of absentee ballots there.  Noxubee has notorious numbers of ballots cast by absentee – sometimes hovering around 25%.  Indeed, sources indicate that nearly 1,000 absentee ballots were cast last week out of between 3,500 and 4,000 hundred votes.  The attorney is being sent to watch the poll workers rule on the validity of each absentee ballot.  Expect the DOJ to trumpet the arrival of the lawyer as proof positive that the sworn testimony of former Voting Section Chief Christopher Coates was inaccurate.
