JACKSON, MS (Mississippi News Now) -
The Mississippi Tea Party President says they've found evidence that nearly 800 voters crossed over in Tuesday's runoff election that should not have been allowed to vote Republican.
However, Hinds County GOP Chairman Pete Perry says there are some precincts where he knows workers marked the wrong column and that could account for at least 200 of those being cited by the Tea Party.
Members of McDaniel's campaign staff and some supporters began sorting through voter books on Thursday morning at the Hinds County courthouse.
They were looking for any "irregularities".
In Hinds County, poll workers used the Democratic primary books for the GOP runoff in an attempt to prevent crossover voters.
However, the group from McDaniel's camp is still searching those records to try to find anyone who voted as a Democrat on June 3rd and with the GOP on the 24th (the runoff.)
Much more this story in our newscasts tonight.
Yeah, I was going to post that article originally but FR won’t let me

Large thread on this with people that actually voted in MS explaining MS procedure.
"However, Hinds County GOP Chairman Pete Perry says there are some precincts where he knows workers marked the wrong column and that could account for at least 200 of those being cited by the Tea Party."
Pete Perry has a massive conflict of interest here- he's being paid $60,000 by a pro-Cochran PAC ...

I tried to post it as well.
Perry does have a point about the 200 votes that were marked in the column for the wrong date, but that leaves 600 that he can’t explain away.
It would take time to analyze the whole state, but if they analyze a large enough sample, then extrapolate that (assign a % to the entire state vote count based on the sample) to show the possibility that there were enough illegal votes to sway the election, then McDaniel has a strong case to challenge, IMO.
But whether or not a judge will be sympathetic is another question.
Unless Cochran backs a full analysis (if proven one is necessary), his victory will be viewed by many as illegitimate and he’ll be viewed as a cheater. He (and his backers like Barbour) must think it was worth it and that, in itself, is troubling.
