Blaine Eaton II (born September 11, 1967) is an American politician, farmer, and logger.
[1] He studied at Jones County Junior College and at Mississippi State University from which he graduated with a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree.
As Eaton drew the longer straw, he was declared the winner and was therefore re-elected to the Mississippi House of Representatives.
[4][5] Although Eaton drew the long straw, Tullos appealed the result to the Republican-controlled House, which decided to seat Tullos instead after deciding that five ballots were invalid because the voters did not file a written change of address with the local registrar.
That case was dismissed by U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves who claimed he didn't have jurisdiction over the matter.
