(Reuters) - A campaign official for U.S. Senate candidate Chris McDaniel and two others are under investigation in Mississippi after being found locked inside a courthouse where ballots in Tuesday's Republican primary had been counted hours earlier.
Investigators are trying to figure out how the three people entered the Hinds County Courthouse in Jackson, Mississippi, shortly after 2 a.m. on Wednesday and what they were doing there, said sheriff's spokesman Othor Cain.
The group included Scott Brewster, McDaniel's campaign coalition coordinator; Janis Lane, a Central Mississippi Tea Party board member; and Rob Chambers, a consultant with the Mississippi Baptist Convention's Christian Action Commission.
"There are conflicting stories from the three of them, which began to raise the red flag, and we're trying to get to the bottom of it," Cain said.
McDaniel is locked in a bitter primary fight with Republican U.S. Senator Thad Cochran that is headed to a June 24 runoff after neither candidate got 50 percent of the vote.
The Mississippi race is one of several primary battles this year highlighting the tension between the Republican Party and its more conservative Tea Party wing. It is seen as the Tea Party's best chance to knock off an incumbent senator ahead of November's congressional election.
In a statement late Wednesday, the McDaniel campaign said the three were sent to the courthouse to observe the ballot count and got locked inside after entering through an open door at the direction of uniformed personnel.
They called for help and eventually were let out by a sheriff's officer, said McDaniel spokesman Noel Fritsch.
But Cain called the campaign's version of events a "fabrication," saying no one was on duty to let anyone in after the courthouse was locked Tuesday night.

If they debated people would see what a dottering old fool Cochran is.
“...McDaniel ...needs to let the people know that he doesnt condone such activities and that if any of his staff are a part of such activities that theyll be dealt with to
the full extent of the law....”
********************************************************************
And exactly what are the “such activities” to which you refer?
Yep.
Anything that is illegal or can bring disrepect or subvert his campaign.

And, as it relates to THIS thread, what would that be specifically?
The Hinds county courthouse case has been closed by the Sheriff after having determined that no laws were broken.
Now, the important question: Why was a door left open and unlocked anywhere on the premises when there were uncounted ballots anywhere in the building?
If, and a big if, they got locked into an interior room, then there may not have been a way out. But for that to have happened, then somebody locked them into the room they were in and that would indicate that foul play took place.

BINGO, and I think the fact that the Republican “verifiers” went there and closed that door may well have caused a planned GOPe corrupticRAT vote fraud operation to be aborted.
It’s awfully quick to close an investigation. Maybe the video didn’t show what they wanted it to show. And maybe it showed stuff they definitely did not want it to show...
It’s just too like the Hattiesburg mayoral race. For some reason ‘some’ ballots can’t be counted on election night. So they’re put up till the next day. Then, the discovery that the courthouse wasn’t, in fact, locked that night. Ooops.
Because. Fraud.
The big question isn’t why someone, thinking there would still be someone there, entered an unlocked building. The big question is who was the last person out of the building who left it unlocked!
There is a lot we don’t know and may never know. There are numerous articles and each
contains speculation. Right now it appears all are keeping quite.
We can all speculate and have but apparently this has reached an ending.

Based on our findings and subsequent conclusion, there is no reason to believe that
the three individuals engaged in any criminal activity nor do we believe any laws
were broken, a statement by the Hinds County Sheriffs office read on Thursday.....
Contrary to earlier reports, no uniformed personnel and more specifically, no
employee of the Hinds County Sheriffs Office assisted these individuals with
gaining access to the courthouse, the statement read....
end snips.....
You can spell bump. can you spell ping?
Mississippi Ping
I am so disappointed in the 2 of you.
Oops. There have been so many pings and articles on Mississippi his week that I didn’t check to see if it was Punged to everyone. Sorry!
Oh shit. Here we go again.
