Runoff voter turnout appears to be up (Mississippi)
WLOX ^ | June 24, 2014 | By Doug Walker

BILOXI, MS (WLOX) - At the Ocean Springs Civic Center, the lines were long as voters waited to cast their ballots. The turnout surprised some poll workers, like Paula Clifford.

"I am. I'm very surprised at what we've had so far. We've had more people come in and vote this time than we had the last time," Clifford explained.

Voters, like Robert Kline, seem to sense that something big is about to happen, no matter who wins.

"This is very important to our state, picking out the congressman we want to continue, and I just felt like it was a civic duty to do," Kline said.

At the St. Martin Community Center, it's much the same. The parking lot is full. Also full is the roadside curb, full of campaign signs for the two candidates. Jim Sumrall is the Poll Manager here.

Can you provide a link to live results please? I saw a brief mention of the results on Fox saying McDaniel 66.1% to Thud at 33.9% with 0% reporting.

When it comes to the American people making decisions, it is nearly always BAD news.

If this was done by Cochran’s people, they should be ashamed. Chris should take legal action.

I would think that after five years of this crap, every TEA Party-type would have the brains to show up and vote in every election in their town! If not, we deserve to lose our country.

If there are more total votes than the initial primary won’t that prove there is voter fraud?

Wasn't there a Libertarian that forced the runoff in the first election? That's why we have McAuliffe in VA as well ...

Isn’t this the district where a demo congressman is running for reelection and the black leaders were telling blacks to vote democrat?

I believe it was something like the Constitution Party. Some liberal Texan billionaire threw down a lot of money to get the the 3rd party candidate on the ballot. It peeled just enough conservative votes away from the republican for the demo to win. I am really sick of the BS..
