Delbert Hosemann issues election violations report
The Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office this week issued a list of violations it found during the 2009 election cycle, including primary elections and runoffs in May and the June 2 general election.
The “2009 Municipal Election Report” describes the violations and voter fraud allegations discovered throughout the state including the City Beautiful.
Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann said poll workers in Laurel were videotaped allowing those not qualified for assistance to receive help.
“According to code 23-15-549, if a voter is blind, disabled or unable to read or write, they can receive help,” he said. “They are supposed to come to a polling place and ask for assistance. They then have the right to receive assistance from a poll worker or anyone else that they request.”
