Federal Investigation Requested

The Tunica County Democratic Executive Committee has failed to perform it duties and to follow court orders.  It appears the DEC has attempted to manipulate the election process.  There is no doubt who the DEC wants to be elected.  Some DEC members are now saying, “Well, if you don’t like it, you should step up.”  For the record, the DEC members attended meetings and sought out these positions.  They sought out the responsibility and were elected by other members of the Democratic party.  The DEC had and continues to have an obligation to the citizens.  This is a serious responsibility.  Failing to do your duty and abusing the position should result in fines and sanctions.  However, intentional attempts to manipulate the process should result in federal criminal charges.

We are calling on the FBI and US Attorney’s office to initiate a federal investigation into the intentional and deliberate attempts of the DEC and some of its members to illegally manipulate the Tunica County elections.  Filing an appeal and then having no follow up and not even paying the appeal fee appears to be an attempt to keep Mr. Jones out of the election.  Not following a court order – was an attempt to keep Mr. Jones out of the election.  Not giving Mr. Pegram notice of any of the litigation proceedings was an attempt to make sure he didn’t act to protect his rights.  Why didn’t Mr. Pegram get notice from the DEC of the mistakes and issues?  I think we all know the answer to this. 

All members of the DEC need to be preserving all of their text messages, emails, computer search histories, voice mails, etc.  All of these will need to be analyzed as part of a potential criminal investigation to see what was really going on.  Strange how the DEC members do nothing but complain about the Court system until they think it could give them another chance.  Some folks need to be consistent.  Sheriff Hamp was able to identify, investigate and have prosecuted voter fraud before – maybe he can help with this.

Mr. Pegram won the election even having to fight against the DEC and all of the power of the current Administration.  The people are demanding change.  The voters want better than what they have had for the last four years.  Of course everyone hopes that Mr. Pegram will stand against our county violating state law and illegal levying and collecting taxes.  Mr. Pegram will stand for accountability – something the current administration does not have.  During Mr. Pegram’s prior years in office, the County’s financial records were able to be audited so that the public really could tell what the financial situation was.  During Mr. Pegram’s prior time in office, the county paid its bills and didn’t hold checks.  During Mr. Pegram’s prior time in office, the County Administrator didn’t cuss out and scream at County employees.

Continued illegal acts, violation of State (and possibly federal) laws, out of control litigation, illegal taxes, loss of jobs, no plans to help the communities, . . . Of course, the incumbent lost. 

Bring on the FBI & US Attorney – it’s past time!
