HATTIESBURG, Mississippi — Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) survived the most intense challenge he’s ever faced in his 41-year political career, winning a runoff against conservative state Sen. Chris McDaniel.
The Associated Press called the race for Cochran, who is up nearly 6,000 votes with 99 percent of precincts reporting.
A source close to McDaniel told Breitbart News that he is considering legal challenges over ballots. Democrats who voted for Cochran on Tuesday but voted three weeks ago in the Democratic primary in the state were not allowed to vote in Tuesday’s election.
Election results indicate Cochran's late appeal to Democratic voters paid off, with the incumbent senator picking up sizable vote totals in precincts with heavily black populations. Partisanship in Mississippi is largely polarized on racial lines, and Cochran allies paid key Democratic operatives to help turn out the vote....

when so called conservatives and pubs etc LEARN how to fight like rats, then we'll win elections....
Cochran won by using rat tactics....he played right into the rats hand....and now they're going to stir the pot so they relect Cochrans rat opponent....
they know how to push buttons and pull strings.....we just don't....
That's a false equivalency.
On its face the numbers look daunting alright, you are correct, but, black liberals have been willing to vote illegally, as in after they already have voted in the democrat party.
Divided as we are it may prove surprising the extent they are willing to go to steal an election, and they like NEVER get put to the test.
That has to change and they need to get burned on theft, and I want to know those numbers.
There were likely far more than that. I presume there are records of the names of the voters at both the June 3rd and June 24th elections. If so, I don't know how a court could do other than throw out the result.
you’re nothing but a democrat plant......why would you suggest handing another seat to the rats?...obammy and his minions not enough for you?....
The only way to win is not to play.

Let the RINO’s lose in November. Conservatives should refuse to vote for them, not necessarily vote against them. If they keep losing maybe we could recapture the party, but I still doubt it. RINO’s are comfortable with losing to the Democrats.
Just stick with suggesting a write-in, like McDaniels should do. Nobody here votes for Dems under any circumstances. We are not voting for liberals with an R on their tail either. (Well some are, but mostly we’ve wised up.)
He should challenge it, check all those votes to see if they were qualified to vote in the runoff. I’d think that Democrats who are political enough to vote would have voted in their own primary.
He should fight for the Republicans who elected him. He’ll be fighting Democrats not Republicans.
And when the media and GOPe start bragging that the establishment won we should always correct them. The GOP establishment lost the Republican vote, that’s a fact.
Lisa Murkowski proudly sits in the Senate today because she was a “sore loser.” She didn’t give up and move on. That’s part of our problem - we play too nice with the dirty tricksters.
He is considering a challenge, according to Breitbart.com a few minutes ago. Haven’t heard he has yet conceded, so something may actually be up.
If he concedes, he can not challenge.
Amen to THAT, on all counts.
Heck, they have them by kicking out legitimate poll watchers. They follow the same MO every time. They use 2 for 1 voting machines. They use fake counting. They use fake voters. They kick out legitimate poll watchers. They keep the vote and polls close enough so they just go over the line. Happens this way in every election with the elite. It that isn’t voter fraud, I don’t know what is.
Hope he knows how much support he’ll have if he challenges.
Well said.....I agree with your analysis.
I remember when Kennedy told General Dynamic workers in Fort Worth Nixon was going to shut them down if they did not vote for Kennedy. I was in the 6th grade. We had kids in the classrooms crying because they thought Daddy was going to lose his job. Politicians are cruel and mean creatures.
Yes! Someone I believe it’s on the MISS. open thread has 1000.00 ready to go, if he challenges to campaign as a write in.
Dollars to donuts the Cochran win isn’t legit, especially after the reaction to his prior loss.
How much you want to bet there were deals struck with the dems, a deal with the devil for a Cochran primary “win”?
(Which will later see those same dem voters not vote for him..but for his dem opponent instead.)
being a sore loser and standing up to bullies are two entirely different things... McDaniel needs to stand up to this crap and we need to be ready to support him financially for any legal challenges he may instigate...
Heard this one so many times. Cockrat just treated real Republicans like the Socialists do, hell his daughter is one. Vote out McConnell, Goober Graham, and Cockrat in General
Somebody help me out here. I too wanted McDaniel to win. However, Thad is old and has an ACU rating of 88.
Why not graciously concede and be ready to run again next time...and make sure it’s a closed primary?
