Governor Stalls Hinds County Election | Jackson News

Hinds County’s District Two supervisor race is stuck in legal limbo as the governor dodges responsibility for setting a special election date—despite a judge ordering one and the current supervisor, Tony Smith, ready to campaign once the date arrives. Former supervisor David Archie, who lost the primary but had his win overturned, is already out on the trail, waiting for the governor’s move. The legal wrangling continues as Smith appeals the judge’s order, and the governor’s silence extends to another vacant seat—the District Attorney’s office, where no emergency appointment has been made despite a law requiring it. With no clear timeline and multiple legal hurdles, voters are left waiting—and wondering who’ll actually get to the ballot.
