Incumbent Benny “Kay” Warrington said he has discovered enough evidence of irregularities at one voting precinct that all the ballots casted there should be thrown out.
Warrington filed a petition this week to contest the general election involving the justice court judge seat for the southern district. The election was certified earlier this month with challenger Danny Neely winning the seat by a margin of one vote.
Warrington, who has held the judge position since 2003, is also requesting that Neely not be sworn in until his petition can be heard by the circuit court.

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
