They should stay home because it is ILLEGAL for them to vote in the Republican primary if they are RATS!!!! Slate is now violating Mississippi law. The writer of this needs to be arrested
Are you sure? I thought that anyone who didn’t vote in the Democrat primary could vote in the runoff.
No, it’s an open primary that the GOP loves so much.

Could you cite the state law that supports your assertion? I should warn you that it will be difficult for you to do since Mississippi does not have party registration and voters are free to vote in whichever primary they choose. What is not permitted is to vote in a Republican Party runoff when you have already voted in the Democrat Party primary.
Besides, why shouldn't they vote for Cochran? He is the Democrat candidate and if reelected will continue to be the Democrat Senator from Mississippi. What is shocking is the number of Republicans who voted for this guy in the Primary and who will vote for him again in the runoff after he and the Democrats have shown his true colors.
They will need to arrest these Democratic voters that attempt to vote in the runoff.

It's only illegal if they voted in the Democrat primary. Chances are, most of them didn't bother, and are thus eligible to show up and vote in the Republican runoff. (Obvious flaw in the law: you shouldn't be able to vote in the runoff unless you voted in the primary that caused the runoff!)
The best hope is the sheeple who forgot to vote in the primary also forget to read Slate.
I thought it has been said that literally anyone can vote in this runoff. crazy
