Davis is among 1,000 poll managers in the county who haven’t been compensated after working 14-hour days for the primary and runoff elections, WAPT-TV reported. The city of Jackson, Mississippi, the state capital, is located in the county.
Election commissioners said they had trouble coordinating with Democratic and Republican party officials, which has resulted in delays.
Looking ahead to the general election, the commissioners wanted to rent space at a local church to train poll managers. The church asked to be paid upfront because it said it was concerned Hinds County wouldn’t hold up its end of the bargain, the news station reported.
