Election Commission Exemption
SUMMARY: Election commissioners are sending mixed signals about whether the election process will run smoothly. After polling places ran out of ballots in November, uncertainty remains about whether the commission will be ready to run the March presidential primary. Commissioner Yvonne Robinson Horton says the election commission held an emergency meeting to reverse a previous vote opting out of running the primary. This decision was made because the Democratic Party wanted to use paper instead of electronic poll books. There is doubt about the commission's readiness, with one commissioner stating that if they don't sign off on it, there won't be a primary.
Is the Hinds County Election Commission ready for the primary?
