The decision is at this link: https://courts.ms.gov/Images/HDList/..%5COpinions%5CCO111514.pdf.
The majority opinion states:
, CONCLUSION
¶46. We grant Dr. Wilson’s petition for interlocutory appeal and order the Secretary of
State to add Dr. Wilson’s name to the electronic Statewide Election Management System,
so that it may be made available through electronic voting machines for the Democratic
primary on March 8. We also order that any voting precincts using paper ballots for the
March 8 election prepare ballots that include Dr. Wilson as a candidate. However, Dr.
Wilson’s name is not required to be added to any absentee ballots prepared or issued to
voters. Finally, we accept Dr. Wilson’s express waiver of any right to challenge absentee
ballots going forward. No motion for rehearing will be allowed and the Clerk of Court is
directed immediately to issue the mandate.
