Mississippi: Dem leaders claim Turnage filed motion without talking to clients
The Jackson Clarion Ledger reports: State Democratic Party leaders said Saturday they have not heard from their attorney since a federal judge ruled lawmakers must revamp party primaries and pass a voter ID policy.
Cleveland attorney Ellis Turnage filed a motion June 15 asking the judge to reconsider the voter ID provision without speaking with his clien, the Mississippi Democratic Party. ...
Committee members on Saturday questioned whether they should keep Turnage, file an appeal or let the judge's decision stand. The party executive committee lacked a quorum and could not take any action.
Some members want the voter ID provision removed from the judge's order. Others said they should start talking to legislators. -- Miss. Dems question attorney's work -The Clarion-Ledger- Real Mississippi
