NATCHEZ—As the nation goes to the polls on Tuesday to elect a new president, at least two Natchez residents are planning election watch events.

Natchez attorney and County Judge Tony Heidelberg plans an Election Watch Gathering beginning at 6 p.m. at The Event at Gayosa, 410 Gayosa Ave., Natchez.

Also, Joseph A.C. Smith of BlackNatchez.org will hold an Election Night Watch Party at Doll Baby’s, 6 St. Catherine St., Natchez, beginning at 5 p.m.

Smith said there would be music, and event attendees could choose between fried chicken or fried catfish dinners for $10 each.

In addition, BlackNatchez.org is offering rides to the polls on Tuesday to anyone who lives in Adams County and needs one. For more information or to arrange a ride, call Chakatria Fitzgerald at 318-719-0801; Adams County Supervisor Angela Hutchins at 601-807-0790; and the Rev. Maurice Irving at 601-807-6324.
