If Cochran jeopardized black democrats by possibly enticing them to break election law - especially if bribes can be documented - can he be removed from the race?
You KNOW Team Barbour didn’t fully explain what the risks were for the crossover blacks.
I have no idea about what penalities could be imposed if fraud is found. I’m sure they are
provided for somewhere in the MS Code.
Another thing that I’ve found is that the primary numbers aren’t near the numbers that can be
expected in general election. I don’t where all these other voters come from and why they
only vote in the general.
example:
Numbers need to be kept front and center to gauge the expections, imo. The expected
turnout for the general will be somewhere around 1.2 million votes using historical
data. In 2010 Sen. Wicker won with just over 700,000 votes about 57%. In 2008 Sen. Cochran
won with over 760,000 votes about 64%.
The GOP runoff on June 24 had just over 370,000 votes or about 1/2 of the votes that could
be expected from the winner in the general. Where the additional votes will come from
and how they will vote is the biggest question.
