FYI..great analysis of the upcoming run-off here at Red State .

It explains why the strategy of trying to get Dems out won't work. And yes, only a person who voted in the GOP primary can vote in the run-off. That's a hard fact.. And since Miss implemented a Voter ID with this primary..there's very little chance for fraud. If people didn't have ID with them, they got a provisional ballot..they have 5 days to return with ID. It'll be interesting to learn how many provisional ballots were cast, and how many were verified..

You've got it wrong according to the Red State analysis you linked:

If a person voted in the Democratic primary Tuesday, he or she cannot vote in the June 24 Republican runoff — and vice-versa.

Obviously, the pool of Democrats who sat our their own primary but who will be sufficiently motivated to show up to vote in the GOP runoff is very small.

That is the pool we are talking about. And RedState's analysis is not necessarily well-reasoned. Childers won with 75% of the primary vote. That means the number of Democrats available to vote in the runoff may be substantial. Just their ability to turn out unionized bureaucrats may be enough.

Don’t matter if they R Dem or GOP if they voted Dem primary is only ones who can not vote in this GOP primary. If they did not vote 1st. time around they can vote no matter what party then R in. So UR wrong.
