Judge: Special election should be within 90 days
A Hinds County Circuit judge ruled today that Gov. Haley Barbour exceeded his constitutional authority by setting the special election to replace former U.S. Sen. Trent Lott for November.
DeLaughter heard about an hour of arguments Monday in the dispute between state Attorney General Jim Hood and Barbour.
His ruling came after 5 p.m.
DeLaughter voided Barbour’s proclamation that scheduled the election for Nov. 4, 2008.
