The white supremacy dog whistle was so loud at this redistricting meeting. The Desoto County women's Republican club was in full force and it took an hour for them to tell us how much we need every district to be white majority, it was revolting. Race neutral was what they kept spewing.

I was supposed to be on a National Action Network bus going to Washington DC to commemorate the 63rd Anniversary of MLKjr's "I Have a Dream" speech, but the free Mississippi, Texas and Tennessee busses were canceled so I went to this redistricting meeting instead. Thank you Kathleen O'Beirne who wrote this information I recited. Speakers were given 3 minutes to speak, I took 2 minutes 45 seconds. Republicans presented very large 2022 maps as current 2025 maps so I felt the need to publicly correct them right when i started.

Good evening:
The Senate & House maps that are displayed are not the current maps.

Mississippi still suffers the consequences of generations of racism.
Race neutral is white supremacy.

White people know it.
Black people know it.
Our churches, schools, and neighborhoods are still largely segregated.
Our politics are segregated. The Mississippi State Legislature should not make things worse.
Redistricting is not just about diluting the Black vote in Mississippi. It is about bending the knee to the President to help him cheat his way through the midterms at great expense to Mississippians. Lest you be under the misapprehension that helping the President in the midterms will also help Mississippians, understand this: The President does not care about Mississippians. If he did, he would deliver disaster relief to Mississippians much faster. He would make healthcare more affordable and not less affordable for Mississippians. He would shore up our rural hospitals and not run them into the ground. He would give tax breaks to people making $55,000 a year -- the median household income in Mississippi -- and not to the millionaire and billionaire class. He would not add to our financial burdens with tariffs, which, when combined with the impact of the Big Beautiful Bill are costing Mississippians making under $200,000 a year an average of $1,700. He would not spend Mississippians' tax dollars on another endless war with no upside and all the downside, not the least of which are even higher gas and grocery prices and the depletion of our miliary resources. He would not have run our national debt up to $40 trillion, requiring us -- the American taxpayers -- to pay $1 trillion per year in interest on that debt alone. In short, redistricting isn't just about diluting the Black vote. It's also about selling out ALL Mississippians to a tyrant who does not care about us. The Mississippi State Legislature knows better. And it should do better.
That's it.

15,000 DeSoto County residents have been attacked by MS's Secretary of State and had their voting status downgraded to inactive.

HOW MANY WERE INACTIVATED IN TIPPAH COUNTY?

I just spoke with the Deputy Circuit Clerk clerk of DeSoto county. Our 2026 voting roll numbers dropped from 132,000 to 117,000.
Earlier this year, Experian was contracted by the state of Mississippi to investigate voters Names.. ( Mississippi SOS paid Experian $50k for voters' consumer data https://share.google/polwAObUJrZCe2VlA ). As a result of Experian's report, 😵😵15,000 DeSoto County voters had their voting status changed to INACTIVE.
Also earlier this year, the Desoto County Clerk's office mailed those 15,000 a letter to let them know their voting status has been changed to inactive, but few responded.
On 11/3/26, election day, inactive voters will be told that their name is not on the voting rolls, and they cannot vote. The voter needs to request an affidavit ballot so they can vote.
The poll worker will not be able to see why their name is NOT on the voting rolls, Nor which precinct, they need to go to so that their affidavit ballot is counted.

The affidavit ballot will only be counted if it has been cast at the correct voting precinct and the affidavit ballot information will update their voting status to active for the 2027 elections.

What can we do? CHECK YOUR VOTING STATUS by calling your County Clerk.

There are websites that seemed to all be tied into the Mississippi Secretary of State's (false) voting status information but the Secretary of State's website will only tell you if you are registered to vote.
Not what your voting 👉👉 status is.

If your name has been purged from the voting rolls, you are no longer registered to vote. But if your name has been changed from active to inactive, you are still registered to vote. So, IN MY OPINION, the SOS website is deliberately deceptive when it attacked thousands and thousands of MS voters and hid their changed voting status by only telling them if they are or are not registeredto vote.

Trent Kelly & Cindy Hyde-Smith have both voted to:

❌ Block money for our roads and bridges
❌ Cancel student loan relief
❌ Take away healthcare and put our hospitals at risk

That’s why this November 3rd, we need to send Representatives to D.C. who will fight for us.

The secretary of state said the deal would "strengthen" election integrity. But Experian told his office it couldn't guarantee its data's reliability.

Federal appeals court weighs 's ban.
Attorneys for a group of students, parents and educators believe the law violates their First Amendment rights, while Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office contends state government has the right to regulate educational content in public schools.
The law is dangerously vague and violates our constitutional right to free speech. The anti DEI Law was passed in 2025 and if enacted could impact what is taught and who teaches in our Mississippi schools.

The state is asking for a new judge, in part, because U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate's staff last year used artificial intelligence to write a flawed order in the case, which drew national scrutiny, including from the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee.
