Mississippi Republicans filed suit Tuesday against the Leflore County Election Commission and a Greenwood poll manager, alleging inappropriate and illegal activities on Election Day.
Brad White, chairman of the state Republican Party, said poll watchers were not allowed to observe the Nov. 4 election there.
The lawsuit also alleges voters in Leflore County were improperly given instructions on how to vote and whom to vote for, and people who did not need or ask for help were accompanied while voting.
Leflore County Election Commission Chairman Edward Course said he could not comment. But he described the county’s election as “extremely fair according to the laws of the state of Mississippi.”
The lawsuit won’t affect the outcome of the county’s elections, but White said he hopes it prevents future problems.
