Hinds County Election Commission explains what led to ballot shortage
SUMMARY: The Election Commission has taken responsibility for Tuesday’s voting mishap, stating that the wrong form for ballot orders was used, leading to confusion over different ballot styles sent to precincts. Precincts with larger voter numbers received a small number of ballots, while smaller precincts received an excess number. The redistricting of Hinds County by the legislature may have contributed to the issue. Commissioner Shirley Varnado expressed the need for guidance from the Secretary of State’s office moving forward. Less than 10 out of 107 precincts in Hinds County experienced a ballot shortage.

SUMMARY: The Stewpot Opportunity Center in Jackson is responding to dangerously cold temperatures by extending its hours to 22 per day and providing shelter for up to 30 people. The center ensures guests receive food, clothing, hygiene items, hot meals, showers, and rest, with activities like movies to help them stay comfortable. Director Javonda Stanton emphasizes that it is inhumane for people to be left outside in the cold, which can lead to conditions like hypothermia and frostbite. The city is also reopening a temporary shelter at Champion Gym in partnership with Shower Power for those in need.
