WATSON: Does this new law I supported prohibit me from continuing to offer my office's #PromoteTheVote program, which I also support, as is?

FITCH: Could be, or maybe not.
Gov. @TateReeves is proud that he signed into law HB1365, which according to Lynn Fitch either did or didn't ban @MississippiSOS from continuing to offer Mississippi's #PromoteTheVote program as is.
For his part, then-Sec./now-Lt. Gov. @DelbertHosemann touted expanding the #PromoteTheVote program as an accomplishment he is passionate about in his 2019 responses to Ballotpedia's candidate questionnaire.
And for her part, Lynn Fitch... 🤦‍♂️

🧵 Tate cracked me up at "I don't recall EXACTLY what occurred then" because Tate's memory is not bad enough that he completely forgot his 2011 campaign. 😂

Anyway, Tate says the thing he doesn't recall is former Mayor Harvey Johnson's fault. But the good news is that... 1/4
...Tate says Jackson simply isn't going to need to take out more bond debt since enough other funds and better forms of debt will be available for Jackson's water/sewer system to be repaired.

Great! Let's hold him to it. 2/4
BTW here are the remarks at issue from Tate's 2011 run.

Tate can't "recall" this except that it's Johnson's fault. If Jackson won't need any bad debt, I'll agree to settle and "recall" everything was fmr. Mayor Melton's fault even though he was dead. 3/4

"In Mississippi, a state of three million people with the highest poverty rate in the nation, just about 200 adults receive welfare." —@ayewolfe
The page count of Mississippi's TANF manual is more than 4x bigger than the number of adults who receive TANF benefits in Mississippi. See: sos.ms.gov/adminsearch/AC…
In any given month, about two times more MSians claim bankruptcy than the number of adult MSians who receive TANF benefits.

THREAD: Reacting to Shad's report, Madison County Schools:

➡️ Blocked social media games and streaming services like Netflix, even when students are at home
➡️ Bought a new web filter from Linewize
➡️ Blocked internet use from 8:30pm to 6:30am 1/
IT vendors like Linewize will be enriched if more school districts purchase more of their filters and services in reaction to Shad's report.

The administration said they also use filters to detect self-harm and sounded like they believe they prevented two suicides. 2/
School filters often inadvertently or accidentally-on-purpose block lots of content that's not supposed to be blocked—e.g. information about breast cancer, the history of Stonewall, political candidates' views on abortion, and so on—so I am wary of using them too aggressively. 3/

THREAD: I hope every Michael Guest supporter in the June 28 primary runoff watches this debate between @JeremyEnglandMS and Chris McDaniel.

Here's why. 🧵👇
1/3 of the voters in MS's 3rd district are black, and since the GOP primary was the only contested primary on June 7, every voter in the district can vote in the June 28 primary.

To that end, Guest & Cassidy should compete for all voters, both white and black. 2/
And Guest should consider himself to be behind with black voters. Why? Well, here's what we know about the candidates:

Guest & Cassidy both wanted to overturn the 2020 presidential election, and they both say Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney are on a "witch hunt." 3/

THREAD: Michael Watson writes that "in Mississippi, you can always TRUST that your vote will be counted!"

Listed below are some (but not all!) of the reasons why votes don't count in Mississippi. 1/ Image
If your polling place changed and you weren't notified, you will be offered an affidavit ballot, but it will not count. 2/

If Michael Watson's polling place locator sent you to the wrong polling place, you will be offered an affidavit ballot, but it will not count. 3/

🧵 Apart from the 70 precincts moved, voters in cities that don't use the same precincts as their county will have to remember to return to the polling place where they voted in 2020 and NOT the polling place where they voted in last year's municipal elections.

E.g. Ridgeland: Image
For example, these are Ridgeland's precincts for municipal elections (top) and for county/state/federal elections (bottom).

(The western boundary differs between the two images due to an annexation.) Image
The mostly black precinct in the bottom left was assigned to Twin Lakes Baptist in 2020, and those voters went to Highland Colony Baptist in 2021.

Both churches are polling place in 2022, but those voters have to remember to go back to Twin Lakes—not Highland Colony. Image
