I’m undecided as to how McDaniel should respond…maybe the legal challenge of the 35 thou voters.
As for tipping point? Yep, I am convinced fat Haley has no idea what he’s unleashed with this shameful performance. Last night Mark Levin called them “dumb bastards” - and they are.
The more I read about Mississippi’s write-in law the more it seems that McDaniel cannot run a write-in campaign. It appears his only avenue is to challenge those 35,000 votes and go through them one by one to see if that person voted in a different primary the first time around.
That said, there is a write-in line on every Mississippi ballot. A name can be written into it. They just won’t count it if it isn’t the official replacement of a name already on the ballot who has been unable to complete the candidacy for reasons of health/death.
So, people can write in a name. It won’t be counted.
Perhaps there is an acceptable independent candidate for whom the tea party conservatives can be encouraged to vote.
