GREENWOOD, Miss. — Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch announced that a Greenwood woman has been sentenced in a ballot-harvesting case investigated and prosecuted by the Attorney General’s Office.
Bobbie Jean Peoples was sentenced by Leflore County Justice Court Judge Jim Campbell for one count of transmission of a ballot mailed to another. Campbell imposed a six-month MDOC sentence, suspended, and a $2,718.75 fine.
“Free and fair elections are a pillar of our democracy,” Fitch said in a statement. “Ballot harvesting undermines trust in the fairness of our elections, and we must be vigilant to maintain the integrity of the electoral process.”
Fitch noted that her office worked with state lawmakers during the 2025 legislative session to strengthen election-integrity laws.
