We just got a tip that Hinds County Republican Chairman Pete Perry is in Hancock County conducting the ballot box examination for Scottie Cuevas in the Democratic Senate race down there, which insurance-company critic David Baria won by just over 30 votes. And I just clicked over to the Cottonmouth Blog and see that we must have gotten the same tip. Per Cottonmouth:
Look who's surfaced in Hancock County -- Pete Perry the Hinds County Republican Chair who had to defend his complete failure as an elections official in the August 7 primary on every news outlet in Central Mississippi. What's he doing in Hancock? He is examining the ballot boxes in the DEMOCRATIC primary where David Baria beat Scottie Cuevas by about 30 votes.
That's right -- the father of Haley Barbour's chief attorney Jim Perry is down on the Coast representing a Democratic candidate!
Cottonmouth stole my punchline—that is, doesn't Pete Perry have more important, Republican things to do back here in Hinds County figuring out why in hell his people couldn't get their ballots out to Republicans hankering to vote on primary day!?!
Wow.
