JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Former Hinds County Supervisor Darrel McQuirter is seeking a rehearing in his case seeking to overturn last year’s Democratic primary results on grounds of residency requirements.
On December 31, McQuirter filed a motion with the Mississippi Supreme Court seeking a rehearing in the case, weeks after the high court ruled against him in his challenge of the residency of current District Two Supervisor David Archie.
McQuirter, though, says the high court erred, in part, because it did not take into account that the lower court judge copied his opinion almost verbatim based on an email from Archie’s attorney.
