We can not say with legal certainty that the invalid votes were cast for Cochran.
Yes, we can assume such, but in a legal proceeding, we have no proof HOW they voted do we?
So the remedy would be a new election.
They were able to figure out that 35,000 Democrats voted in the runoff. Can't they figure out how many Democrats voted for McDaniel?
These illegal votes are all Democrats, should be a no-brainer.
Actually, it's pretty clearcut. In Mississippi, there is an election law. When you walk in a polling place, you are asked if you will be voting in the Republican primary or the Democrat primary. If you say, "Democrat". The machine lights up only the names running in the Democratic primary. If you said "Republican", only the names running as a Republican will light up. If you originally voted in the Democratic primary, you are not allowed to vote BY MISSISSIPPI LAW in the REPUBLICAN run-off (i.e., Cochran/McDaniel). It is illegal there. If you vote one party in a primary; you must vote that same party in any run-off elections.
That’s how it would work in Connecticut under common law.
