Governor to Decide Hinds County Election Date

The Hinds County District 2 supervisor special election is on hold as Judge Barry Ford scraps the July 14th date, forcing Governor Tate Reeves to pick a new one. This legal mess stems from incumbent David Archie’s lawsuit over alleged fraud after losing the 2023 primary to Anthony Smith by nearly two-to-one. The judge previously ordered a special election in June after finding ballot box irregularities, but Archie’s team is ready to go once a date is set. Smith, the primary winner, says he trusts the system. With no official new date announced yet, voters in District 2 are stuck waiting — and the governor’s decision could make all the difference.
