I am no fan of Cochran and disappointed he won the runoff. However, the theory by which McDaniel’s attorney is claiming a victory is absurd.

Find 6,000 bad votes and protest. If you can’t, just walk away and wait for next election.

the problem is the state law allowing Democrats to vote for either side in the primary

but then insisting that they must vote for the party in the general that they voted for in the primary.

Could be a better strategy, and could set McDaniel up to be the favorite in a couple of years — when Roger Wicker is up for re-election. Maybe Mitch Tyner is taking McDaniel for a ride and simply milking the process for maximum legal fees?

Mississippi voters don’t register by party, but state law makes so-called crossover
voting — casting a ballot in one party’s primary and another party’s runoff in
the same cycle — a misdemeanor. Tyner said the campaign had found 3,500 instances of
crossover votes, along with the 9,500 “irregular votes” and 2,275 “improperly cast”
absentee ballots. It was not immediately clear what made the votes irregular, or
how the absentee ballots may have been improperly cast.

Agreed. Winning the GOP vote should win you the nomination. But that is not the law in Mississippi. Unfortunately. McDaniel is finished.
