Jethro's a powerful man. Maybe they can hook up.

haha, jimmy sams lost. I guess the clay people valued intelligence for once in their lives. Maybe that college education meant something after all.

Looks like the only sure fire loser so far is MP. Nope, she's the winner. She's #1 for DEAD LAST.

Maybe Commissioner Link can clean up the water board.

Congratulations, MP. Your vote results match you IQ!

Anonymous said...

Sams is the one appointed you to the water board. Maybe Link can fix that while he's fixing everything else.

Jimmy only carried one precinct And that was not by much! just Bomont.

"That is the best vote this county has ever made!"

But in reality the best vote this county ever made would be lots of votes of equal importance.

all of the votes that were cast for anyone except MP are the "best vote this county this county has ever made!"

lol i slipped on my quote there and double typed this county.

I'll point this out so MP's high speed-low drag-- online college educated brain-- doesnt get too confused when she reads it!!!

what an idiot she is!! hahaha

Anonymous said...

Sams lost???? No Clay County's voice of the people lost as once again only 1/3 of the voters voted in the county and once again BOE BUTT KISSERS show their power at the polls. At all the polling places teachers,janitors,bus drivers, contract drivers and very few citizens otherwise voted but noone threatened the citzens they would lose their job.

self esteem issues would be someone sitting around as large as a hump back whale drawing welfare and believing you have power because to shut you up someone puts you on a small county board.

then the very little influence you had you ruined by having a money scandle on a water board? when questioned you slapped someone and made yourself a bad name by being angry all the time.

sry i guess thats self esteem covered and some type of other disorder there. maybe schizo or severe depression or whatever psychological issue that made you an angry person.

Melissa, I know you're not very bright, so here's a math lesson for you. Your votes combined with Jimmy's still don't add up to the number of votes Link got. You had nothing to do with it. You're crowing about nothing more than adding money to the county funds.

If you really want a better life for your son, learn to spend your money more wisely. Teach him to be self-supportive instead of sucking the system. Find somebody that can teach him the morals & values you lack.

Jimmy was only 1 voice out of 3. You should have spent that $200+ sign-up fee having your "thyroid problem" fixed.

If MP really wanted to make a difference for her kid,she would have run for BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Had about as much chance there.

Anonymous said...

If you see the Krajeski family or Randy today ask them how it feels to trade votes to get Link elected. Prediction for the next sheriffs race.
Nope not Randy for sheriff try,
One Term Randy
A promise to Dave Mullins for voting Link.
Sheriff Dave Mullins
Also bye bye Franny and Pete.
Avis won the County Court Clerk Job again this time as they couldn't keep Jimmy and Connie both and get the others to trade. Called the Democratic Machine of Clay County. Open your eyes people you lost all the way around

MP the best thing you can do for your kid is keep him an only child & get him far FAR away from YOU.

Did you vote?

Did you vote a secret ballot?

Or

(A) Did you vote on one of those numbered ballots where they detatch a stub that has a matching
number to the ballot it comes from.

And

(B) Did you put your signature on that matching nmumbered stub?

And

(C) Did a poll worker put your name on a numbered list beside the number of your ballot?

If A B or C happened, your vote is not secret.

Your name is matched to your numbered ballot by your signature on the numbered stub and the numbered list.

Shh...
Don't tell anyone.
It's a secret.

Anonymous said...

1) There are no secrets in this town

2) Don't hold your breath waiting for this election to change anything

3)MP doesn't want power or betterment. MP wants to hear the sound her lips make when they flap together.

MP serves a purpose in life. Just like circus monkeys, junebugs & slugs. She's just lower on the food chain.

I am not an angry person. I lost my temper yes, but I apologized and did my sentence.

Sentences noone cares about did you pay back the money you stole or like Jimmy Morris pay back 1/10?
Its all about the money.

Anonymous said...

"did my sentence"????

WTF??

how can getting off free as a bird be called "a sentence"?

Too bad JS didn't get defeated in the election before this one. Then we'd never have heard of MP. Punkin Ridge might even have water by now.

Anonymous said...

write ins are legal for empty slots this fall. can file for vacant slots until oct. 17 i believe. GO MEL GO!!!!!!!!!!

Anonymous said...

Who cares if the poll workers look! Are you ashamed of the candidates for whom you voted? Would you vote differently based on the set of eyes looking at "the list"? If the paranoia runs so deep that you think someone is sitting in a corner making a black list based on the 1800 cast ballots, then you have bigger issues than someone matching your name to a ballot.

If someone is so inclined to match names and numbers to scratch backs or blackball you, whichever the case may be, then that someone really doesn't pass the character test we should be holding our elected officials to. Therefore, in the whole scheme of things, they matter little. They only have the amount of power you agree to relinquish.

Anonymous said...

Here's a question. If you add up all the percentages, every one comes up to 100%. I know for a fact there were write-ins for several slots. What happened to those votes?

What MP fails to realize is that JS & KS have both been elected before. MP has lost 100% of the elections she's run in. That makes JS at least 2/3 winner & KS at least 50% winner. MP ... 100% loser.

BackStreet Crawler, I've taken editorial liberties with this one & I'm reposting the results. The proper place for the "*" is in sh*t, not bull. That's the only thing I changed (other than taking it out of chronological order, that is).


backstreet crawler said...

Well DUUH yourself sirhenry.

It's bullsh*t to call it a secret ballot when its cross-referenced right to your name.

I hope you arent so naive as to believe that nobody looks at that list and those ballots to see who voted for whom.

It happens. Every time.

Wait a minute...I left town last week and the word was that CW was predicted a loser by more than 200 and the commish race was too close to call. Now I'm home for the weekend and CW won 2 to 1. Even more surprising, Link won by almost the same amount?
Sounds extremely fishy!!!Anyone in blog land know how both races turned around so fast and with almost the same amount of votes for the winners?

ROSE said...

They gave all the write-in votes for other offices to the eventual winners of county clerk & commissioner.

Hey, Anon @ (Wed May 10) 04:27:37 PM - did you ever get an answer to your question?? It's one everybody's asking.

Anonymous said...

Yep I posted on the blogs what happened to the Losers and winners and the big turn around. It is all about Avis and Don, R.T. Sizemore and the blubloods losing control for the past 12 years. Now they have the reins again their next step is also listed and David (the queer lover) Pierson will beat out Pete Triplett next time around and also Ron (the jerk) Sirk will be on county payroll at a neat $31,000.00 plus per yr under Links command. Shortly thereafter we will have another Tanner(hypocrite butt wipe) on the school board or maybe even for assessor. Just a matter of time now for the "YES MEN" to be back in office.

The question was:

WTF HAPPENED TO THE WRITE IN VOTES?

THERE WERE WRITE IN VOTES THAT EITHER DID NOT GET COUNTED OR WERE APPLIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE.

INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW.

So basicly no matter how hard we were told some candidates worked their fate rested on Don and Avis from the beginning. How sad. No wonder we call this place clayberry. I guess honest hard work doesn't always pay off in the real world or clayberry

ROSE said...

I just don't understand all this political mumbo-jumbo. How could everybody's "fate" rest on Don & Avis?

Nobody - NOBODY - approached me in any way, shape or form about voting for or against anybody, including the candidates themselves.

Unless somebody is "fixing" the votes or intentionally miscounting or something along those lines, how can anybody's fate rest on anything other than the free will of the people doing the voting?

Furthermore, I don't see how any of the candidates themselves can be held responsible for the actions of others. Everybody who's eligible to vote is free to vote their gut. If they vote anything other than that - regardless of what that's based on - they're the ones who should be held responsible & hacked on, not the candidates.

Anonymous said...

When you get old and feeble and know how politics work in Clayberry you will better understand the way political machinery gets greased here.

If you watch the news, all last year the squeaky wheels in Mingo county got all dried up and Jail sentences were to be served by many there. Why? Someone there got the shaft from the blubloods side and turned on them. They know where to drop a $100 bill and where not to let it get dropped as they got flunkys in every community working around the clock.

You see all them kids holding Link signs election day? $50.00 a pop is the word. Goes along way when you never seen $50.00 or knew that much existed. Also another good sign, 4th generation welfare and the benefits thereof. Pays to get old and watch for 4 decades how things are done.

ROSE said...

Well, h*ll's buttons, what do I need to do to get in on this? I want to hold a sign! I want a $100 bill dropped on me!

My point is, after the $50 is paid & after the $100 bills are dropped, my vote is still my own.

Take your $100 bill, accept your $50, let your kid accept his/her $50, then vote your gut & lie like h*ll!

It's such a simple thing, really.

Anonymous said...

Well rose apparently no one with any pull (for votes) thought you were important enough to approach or thought you couldn't get any votes for them. You are just one vote. Over 1800 people voted. You do the math.
I happen to know several people that were approached and asked to vote a certain way. Several..... and they were instructed to tell their kin. So wake up... its not political mumbo jumbo.... its reality!

Anonymous said...

Or maybe the ones with pull realized Rose had the b*lls to say F**K YOU.

ROSE said...

YIKES! LOL

Actually, that may very well be the case, Anon.

I have a mind of my own. I have free will. I have a job that I got on my own merits, not who I am, who I'm not, who I know or who I've done The Nasty with.

Somehow, I don't think I'll ever fit in around here.
