Live elections results. Polls close in 20 minutes!

Not only would it be wrong to dilute conservativism in order to achieve “broader appeal”, it wouldn’t pass the common sense test in Mississippi.

The Republican candidate for U.S. Senate is GOING to win.

There’s no practical, political need, in fact, to seek a “broader appeal”.

Mississippi is a Republican state.

It should send Ted Cruz and Mike Lee somebody like themselves!

Have you all seen this:

@SenThadCochran: Welcome home, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. A grateful America thanks you for your service.

How out of touch can that old coot be?

If I were in ms. and on McDaniel’s team, this stupid tweet by Cochran would be front & center of any run off strategy. Just sayin.

Thank you so much, from our Patriot, Mississippi hearts, dearest penelopesire!

Please pass that onto Chris McDaniel's campaign. (or I will).

BTW, Channel 12 News at Noon, shows McDaniel with 50 %, at 100% counted, but with absentee's still left to count.

I didn’t make myself clear.

There are more socially conservative Democrat voters that there are GOPe voters.

By “broader appeal”, I mean, finding the Reagan Democrats and telling the GOPe, which will not support us even when we win primaries, to go screw.

[deport]

Apparently the .2% is the absentee that hasn't been counted. I'd not be
surprised to see some type filing of contest should either one win it outright
without a runoff. I don't know MS rules on this type outcome.

Republican

99.8% Reporting

C. McDaniel	49.5%	153,985
T. Cochran (i)	48.9%	152,248
T. Carey	1.5%	4,813

[Kenny]

I don’t think the 2% is absentee. There’s still precincts out, Hinds has four out and they’re 2 to 1 for Cochran pre-manufactured votes.

[MikeinMotley]

US Senate GOP
99% OF PRECINCTS REPORTING
Chris McDaniel 154,567 49%
Thad Cochran (Inc.) 153,048 49%
Thomas Carey 4,820 2%

Is this still going on? I'd have thought they'd have it all counted by now.

SHHH! Cochran team in process of stealing it.

Officially a runoff:

Chris McDaniel Runoff  49.5%  155,040
Thad Cochran   Runoff  49.0%  153,654
Thomas Carey            1.5%    4,789

[Theodore R.]

I would think that there have been very few runoffs anywhere where both candidates had c. 49 percent of the vote. First I can recall. That third candidate will cost a great deal to eliminate from contention.

[deport]

The question now becomes how will Carey’s voters break and how many of the non voters
can each one sway into voting. Usually runoffs have a lower turnout but this one
may get a lot of play and thus a reasonable showing.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 04, 2014

Post-Election and Primary Runoff Information

Delbert Hosemann
Secretary of State

Process for Certifying Election Results in a Party Primary: 

All primary elections in the State of Mississippi are run by the respective state parties. State law requires the transmittal of certified election results to the State Party Executive Committees of the Democratic and Republican Parties.  The State Party Executive Committees compile the certified results from each county and certify their election results.  The Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office does not certify the results of a Primary Election.  The certification is performed by the State Party Executive Committees.  The State Executive Committees have ten (10) days from the date of the election (June 13, 2014) to submit certified results to the Secretary of State’s Office.  The Secretary of State’s Office accepts the certified results by the State Executive Committees on behalf of the State of Mississippi.  (Miss. Code Ann §23-15-599)

Post Election Deadlines:

• June 10, 2014:  Deadline for voters who did not present acceptable photo identification for the 2014 Primary Election, who had to cast an affidavit ballot, to submit acceptable photo identification to the Circuit Clerk’s Office for their ballot to be counted.  (MS Const. §249-A-(2)(c))
• June 13, 2014:  Deadline for the State Party Executive Committees to submit certified results to the Secretary of State’s Office.  (Miss. Code Ann §23-15-599)

Post Election Notes: 

• The Secretary of State’s Office does not have the number of affidavit ballots cast or certified election results in the 2014 Primary Election.  To ascertain the number of affidavit ballots cast in the election, please contact each county.
• State law requires the counting of absentee ballots to be conducted at the precinct on the night of the election.  Absentee ballots should not be counted after the day of the election.  Only affidavit ballots should be counted after the election.  (Miss. Code Ann §23-15-639)

If there is a Primary Runoff Election:

• The 2014 Primary Runoff Election will be held on June 24, 2014 (Miss. Code Ann §23-15-305)
• Polls are open from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm.
• Citizens must have been registered for the June 3, 2014 Primary Election to be eligible to vote in the June 24, 2014 Primary Runoff Election.
• If an eligible voter did not participate in the June 3^rd Primary Election, the voter may vote in either the Democratic or Republican Primary Runoff. 
• The State of Mississippi does not allow “crossover” voting.  Meaning, if a voter cast a ballot in the Democratic Primary, he/she must cast a ballot in the Democratic Primary Runoff.  If a voter cast a ballot in the Republican Primary, he/she must cast a ballot in the Republican Primary Runoff.  (Miss. Code Ann §23-15-575)
• Uniformed and Overseas ballots have been transmitted in accordance with State and Federal law.

NO!

Compromise in the squishy middle is exactly what has demolished this country.

The bad guys always get some of their agenda that way, and only have to come back for more next time.

I contend that it’s statistically improbable to get this close in a race without election “engineering” involved. It’s like picking lottery winners too often.
