They can be overcome is what I am saying.
And they can be overcome quickly by filing for a restraining order and seeking a federal injunction for relief. The hearing can be held within 2 weeks of filing and the state must make a “state compelling interest” in response. MS has no compelling interest other than to protect Cochran.
Usually state compelling interests are made on the basis of opening the election to too many non-serious candidates creating confusion among the electorate; candidates like “Daffy Duck” or a party calling itself “Jihad for Islam”, etc.; it provides for the election process to be orderly and manageable.
But in this case there are hundreds of thousands of voters who would be disenfranchised if MS denied their votes. So the Sore Loser laws in this case won’t fly in federal courts.
It’s ruled on a case-by-case basis and all the cases you can find like independent presidential candidate John Andersen were able to overcome all the restrictions posed by states.
When it’s a serious candidate for a federal office, federal courts will overrule any restrictions at the state level.
And the federal injunction issued and ordered on MS will allow the McDaniel campaign to go forward.
But like I said it very likely won’t be necessary as the McDaniel campaign and support volunteers are doing a great job at getting all the fraud exposed. I will bet they get the runoff results overturned. I also think it’s a good possibility that Cochran will concede, why? Because the vote buying scandal could get him kicked out of Congress altogether and lead to others in the GOPe. We will see.
and lead to others in the GOPe.
Is that why it took Johnson to break this? Nobody else is comfortable with launching the fatal missile against the GOPe?
