WOODVILLE — Examination of the ballot boxes from the June 24 special Democratic primary in Wilkinson County will continue into the weekend.

Circuit Clerk Mon Cree Allen, District Two Supervisor Richard Hollins and Sheriff Reginald “Pip” Hollins filed their own motions to examine the boxes Wednesday evening.

Supervisor candidate Kirk Smith and sheriff candidate Jesse Stewart had filed to examine the boxes and began their examination Wednesday. That examination continued Thursday morning.

Hollins and Jackson also wanted to examine the boxes Wednesday, but Judge Jim Persons ruled they did not have the right to examine the boxes because they had not filed to do so at that time.
