“Hinds Sheriff’s Dept. denies allowing McDaniel staffers access to courthouse after hours”

But:

Hinds County Circuit Clerk Barbara Dunn says it would be virtually impossible to tamper with ballots after they make it to her office.

All ballots including absentee were locked inside a vault in her office, which was locked when everyone left Tuesday night between 11 p.m. and 11:30 p.m, Dunn said.

“It would be very hard for anyone to get into my vault,” Dunn said. “And I have an alarm system that is turned on that would make a loud sound if anyone opens the vault.”

Precinct boxes containing pencils and pens, but no ballots, would have been the only things left unsecure in the hallways of the courthouse, Dunn said.
