Public Service Commissioner ballot box review halted
SUMMARY: A judge in Hinds County, Mississippi, has halted the ballot box review of the Central District Public Service Commissioner election, in which incumbent Brent Bailey sought a review following a narrow loss to De’Keither Stamps. Stamps filed for an injunction claiming he didn’t receive the required three-day notice before the review commenced. Circuit Court Judge Faye Peterson suspended the process on November 22, until November 27, after some materials had been checked by Bailey’s representative. Stamps expressed disappointment over the situation and emphasized the importance of following legal procedures.
