According to state law, write-in candidates are permitted only as the legitimate substitute
of a candidate who has died, resigned, withdrawn or been removed from the race.
That applies to every race, whether it’s a primary, special or general election at
any level of government, said Pamela Weaver, communications director of the secretary of
state’s office.
But every election ballot includes a space for write-in candidates, whether or not one
is needed for that race. It’s there just in case a write-in does become eligible.
And that’s perhaps where the confusion occurs, since some people see the space and assume
write-ins are allowed in all elections.

Thanks.
Distressing.
But thanks.
If I were in Mississippi, I would have a very very very hard time voting for Cochran. 90% sure I would NOT do it.
The same thing happened with us and Charlie Crist. The day I learned he was going to be on stage with Obama early in 2009 after the Clown seized power, I called his office and told whoever was taking messages—PLEASE do not do this, it is wrong...the lady said she was hearing the same thing, and she too sounded unhappy about Crist’s intentions.
I said then I would NOT vote for him.
He made it much easier then by going Independent and then Democrat.
Weasel.
Cochran is the same way.
