Of course, the fraud in the election is the strategy that State Senator Chris McDaniel is using to challenge the election.
What happened in Mississippi is a good reason to throw out the sore losers law -- if the winner uses the opposite party (Democrats to Steal the Election).
If US Senator Thad Cochran did not win using the tactics of the Haley Barbour family, then I would say that the Sore Losers Law is a good thing.
It is a bad thing when fraud and racism is used to steal an election.
> “It is possible (though unlikely to be decided by election) to challenge in court the sore losers law based on the fraud in the election.”
McDaniel can have a federal injunction against MS sore loser laws within a week.
There is a place for sore loser laws but not in this case, especially for one of the reasons you state, fraud and also for clear violation of state election law by Cochran and violation of federal election law. MS cannot allow Cochran to stand behind its sore loser laws and a federal court will see to that quickly.
