I don’t agree that he is finished. Their law requries that a person voting in the Republican primary vote for that prson in the general - with their sworn affadavits - they have the leverage they need to go to court and win. Such pessimism on this forum - all from those who apparently don’t understand the election laws in MS. I’m wondering if the GOP wants this black mark on their candidate going into the general - meaning Cochran of course. They risk losing that seat to the DEM. Its decision time for the GOPe.

Sorry about that. I withdraw my McDaniel is finished comment. Your post is worth repeating in full and bolded:

They don’t shive a git. The GOPe would rather a Dem win an election rather than a Tea Party-style Conservative.

Oh, does their law require that? I didn’t realize. That’s something else again. Interesting.

Mississippi law says that a person who votes in a party's primary must support the winner of that primary in the general election. For many years (long before this election), the Missisippi Attorney General's office has issued opinions that that law is unenforceable and cannot be used to challenge voters. If McDaniel does press that issue, it will bite him back, because it also invalidates the votes of all of the McDaniel voters who don't intend to vote for Cochran if he is declared the winner of the primary.
