Camilla Mayor Kelvin Owens was being held at the Mitchell County jail Friday, two days after a grand jury indicted him on a felony charge of election interference and a misdemeanor count of conspiring to commit election fraud.

Also jailed were the city’s former elections superintendent, Rhunette Williford; and her former deputy superintendent, Cheryl Ford, who is currently Camilla’s city clerk. They were charged with the same crimes as the mayor, plus misdemeanor counts of failing to perform their duties as public officers.

Chaos roiled special elections for a pair of city council seats in Camilla last November amid a long-running legal battle over local politics in the town, a farming community of about 5,000 people in rural southwest Georgia.

I'm not trying to condemn everyone in America, but HOLY FUCK people ... y'all gotta start clamping down on some shit, ie: penal slave labour, gerrymandering, election fraud, and getting rid of Trump.

You’re not out of the MCGA woods yet.

No, but we're closer to the edge of the treeline than America is.

You’re in America. You mean The United States. Don’t let us claim that word. You’re gonna find the treeline is just the opening to a clearing, and not out of the woods.

Correction: we’re on land which remains in treaties made between the crown and First Nations. Several in fact. Several that are even recognized in parliament. As was again repeated from the his own majesty’s mouth.

Seriously important distinction in this particular matter and it should be mentioned way more than it is as far as MCGA is concerned.

The amount of private land is minuscule. And worthless as far as energy generating which is their greed goal.

And they should mind to check those landmarkings so long as they even speak of a separation while standing on any Canadian soil. Signing land title isn’t the same as signing a treaty.
