"She retired from public service in June of last year..."

I wonder what her taxpayer funded retirement 'package' looks like?

There are a lot of state laws on the books that have already been invalidated by federal courts or that are not recognized in the context that the state thinks they should be interpreted.

The Mississippi law can stand but it will not apply to McDaniel once his lawyers file for injunctive relief in federal court. The federal courts have already ruled several times for similar cases in the past. They will grant the relief and they will do so while the parties are scheduled to be heard. McDaniel will be able to proceed unless the state of MS motions that he should be stopped and the relief denied.

What argument do you think the state of MS will use to deny relief to McDaniel? What’s their argument going to be?

It is surprising you are not a political strategist big wig. You seem to know how to do it all.

I don’t care about the state’s argument. I hope they fail. But at the moment, the law stands, as I have said.

RIGHT NOW! Mississippi law will not allow McDaniel to run a write in campaign - or, I think more accurately, will not count any votes cast for him on a write in ballot.

I was right, when I stated this at the start.

There’s a MS election law that says a person that votes in the primary for one party’s nominee may not vote in the general for the other party nominee. You think that’s going to stop people from violating the law? How are they stopped? How is the law enforced?

You can ignore the facts as posted in #119. You can hang your hat on Mississippi state laws that don’t matter. The fact is that federal rulings and the MS state law are not in agreement. So the law you think applies does not matter because the federal rulings invalidate it.

Are you that obtuse? - I stated that Mississippi law does not allow it. I was right, you were wrong.

Everything else you are saying has no relevance to that fact.

There is a law. That law stands unless and until it is overturned. It has not been overturned. The law exists, as I stated, and you foolishly challenged.

Your post #119 is nonsense - it supports a claim that the EXISTING law will be overturned, but that is already. It, in fact, PROVES my statement, that such a law does exist.

The law matters, if it did not exist, there would be no need for an injunction.

The federal rulings do NOT invalidate the law. The law must be challenged, and a ruling made, to invalidate it. That has not been done.

WOW!!! This is great news. I’m sure that McDaniel’s lawyers are aware of this; are they not? This would make a great Post as it’s own Thread. Thanks so much for the info.

So the fact that MS has a law is what you say is important?

How would you think that MS enforces the law that requires a voter cannot vote for one nominee in the primary and a different nominee in the general? There’s a law you know. How can it be enforced?

You won’t answer will you?

You won’t answer because it’s a law that is useless.

MS has laws that are useless; they don’t matter.

You can say there are laws in MS but many of them don’t matter. They are just ‘nice thoughts’.

Even when it is shown to you that federal rulings invalidate such laws you still cling to it because?

Stubbornness is not a good trait.

Go ahead and get hot under the collar while others sit back and enjoy watching you spin yourself silly.

McDaniel can run as an independent and he can run as a write-in, whichever way he chooses. But right now he is on a path to overturn what happened last week and for good reason. The fraud is thick. He likely won’t need to run as an independent or as a write-in but if he needs to he will be able to.

I saw a news excerpt with McDaniel’s campaign manager saying a write-in campaign is definitely under consideration if the current challenge sputters.

But it looks like McDaniel won’t be needing to run as a write-in or as an independent because the whole fraud is unraveling. But you wouldn’t know it from listening to the MSM:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3174402/posts?page=19

They got the Barbour people on buying votes with “walking around money” which is a clear violation of state and federal election law for election tampering.

And it’s the Mississippi democrats that are willing to put the noose around the necks of state republicans:

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/06/27/McDaniel-Rushes-To-Review-Ballots-From-Tuesday-s-Election

Democrats are claiming that state election commissioner who is sister-in-law of Barbour did not require the poll books to be switched to check if voters had voted in Democrat primary and then voted in republican runoff. Further, democrats claim they witnessed that state republicans tried to get them to break the law by not having to switch the poll books which is essential to verification of eligibility.

It’s only end of Monday following last Tuesday making it only 4 business days they have been working to get to the bottom of massive fraud and at the rate they are going I expect to hear by Thursday they have the evidence they need to overturn the election and call for a new runoff. But state republicans are blocking McDaniel supporters from accessing the ballot but I expect McDaniel and his lawyers are clearing out the resistance to review the ballots.

In the meantime the MSM and GOP political establishment will be thinking this is all in the past.

I think McDaniel wins handily in a new runoff. Wish I could be there to help.

Do you remember what started all this argument? I will remind you:
I stated that Mississippi law prohibits McLean from running a write-in candidacy. You said I was wrong.

I proved my point, you have conceded that there is such a law - it’s over. Nothing else you have said matters in this debate.

This law is important, because his votes will not be counted if he does not get a court ruling.

PERIOD

Whether he gets that ruling, if it is easy, if it’s not- none of that has any bearing on the fact that the law I said existed, does indeed exist - and it is an easily enforceable law, unlike the one you cite in your latest.

“So the fact that MS has a law is what you say is important?”

Just read what I have actually said and you’ll be better served - and I never said that.

Here is what I have said:
Such a law does exist. And it does exist.
Such a law is important, because it requires McDaniel to get a court ruling, or he won’t get his votes counted.

THAT’S what I’ve said. It is absolutely true.

BTW - I am under no obligation to answer your irrelevant questions. It doesn’t matter what unenforceable laws are out there; because the law I said existed (and it does exist) is EASILY enforceable.

Invalidated laws have no effect. McDaniel must get a court ruling, or his votes will not be counted - in other words, the law will have an effect. Ergo: it is not yet invalidated no matter how many federal rulings you cite.

Holy Cow...with only 3 weeks between the primary and the runoff, how were 19,000 absentee ballots printed, mailed and returned within 3 weeks?

Apparently ballots are hand delivered door to door with along envelopes containing cash. Probably already postage stamped and filled out too.

there was a Miami local election that was once court ordered redone due to the rampant fraud.
