UPDATE: Political Emails to State Employees Only Legal for Republicans

In re-reading the e-mails we discovered last week, one disclaimer stood out: PAID FOR BY FRIENDS OF PHIL BRYANT. 

Digging through Bryant's campaign finance reports, there is no reference to the Bryant campaign purchasing an email listserv for the Rankin County School District. To the best of our knowledge, public email lists are not available for purchase.

All this raises a question we failed to note in our earlier report: who or what entity gave the Bryant campaign school e-mail addresses for all of Rankin County's teachers?

Received another email at my school email today. Being asked to walk door to door and donate for the Phil Bryant campaign. I guess being a republican means you don't have to worry about breaking the election laws.

Continue to receive these emails at public school. I guess not a problem if it continues to come from republicans.

Got another one today. Doesn't this state have anyone that enforces the election laws?

4:11 why would anyone enforce the election laws? They don't enforce the MAEP laws on the books either.

As the commercial goes, "there's no way to stop a train". I received my weekly campaign call to action from Phil Bryant today. We are powerless to stop illegal activity from these people. I wish someone cared enough to do something about it.
