Judge Jeff Weill
A former Hinds County circuit judge has been named to preside over a candidate’s challenge to the outcome of the Kosciusko mayor’s race. The case will be heard in Attala County Circuit Court beginning November 12 with Special Judge Jeff Weill presiding. Weill served two terms in Hinds County before running unsuccessfully for the Mississippi Court of Appeals in 2018. Since then, he’s been serving as a senior status judge, handling cases across the state including other election challenges. Under state law, many retired Court of Appeals, chancery, circuit or county court judges and retired Supreme Court justices are eligible to serve as senior judges.
In the Kosciusko case, Marvin Myles Jr. filed a petition June 23, claiming irregularities in the way the votes were counted in the mayor’s election. The final official results showed Myles losing to incumbent Tim Kyle by 26 votes. Myles is asking the court to throw out absentee and affidavit ballots and to declare him the winner. As an alternative, he asks the court to order a new election.

August 5, 2025 at 5:46 PMIt needs to be a new election the absentee ballot and affidavit should have been tally up with the ballot that night. It’s definitely some discrepancy in the election. And no transparency it’s not liked the Attala County population has a large number of ballots to count. So yes, why not redo the election. I hope the best for whoever gets the mayor seat, but it need to be done correctly through the voter registration with the employee that are overseeing the election and the precinct manager. So, each and every employee in that position needs to efficient and accurate with their paperwork and ballot count.

Jeff Weill scandal(s) there is a LOT more to this guy than posted here. He’s a pretty gross human if the multitude of allegations are true.

August 6, 2025 at 10:40 PMMyles seems to be a sore loser. Sometimes elections are close. Nether candidate seem to be liked and that is why it was so close. This is not New York or Chicago. We don’t rig elections here.
