Chris McDaniel, the Republican candidate in last Tuesday’s GOP primary that fell just shy of defeating long-time incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS), reacted to the outcome.
McDaniel laid out his Republican credentials and questioned why his state’s Republican Party had gone to such lengths to for Cochran.
“It was shocking,” McDaniel said. “I’m a two-term state senator. I’ve been a Republican since I was 13-years old. I’ve paid my dues. I’ve gone door to door. I’ve given money. I considered these men and woman to be my friends and colleagues. But desperation and the quest for power pushed them somewhat over the edge. And Tuesday evening the Republican primary in Mississippi was not decided by Republican voters. It was decided by 35,000-40,000 Democrats. That’s unprecedented, extraordinarily unusual.”
He also claimed he had evidence of more than 1,000 voting irregularities in just one country and pointed to the desperate tactics Cochran employed to get Democrats out to vote for him.
“It’s not so much a recount,” McDaniel continued. “We’re looking to the issue of whether or not people who participated in if June 3 Democrat Primary crossed over into the Republican Primary this Tuesday night. We’ve found more than 1,000 examples of that in one county alone. So, we’ve found widespread irregularities of ineligible voters. They should not have been there in the first place. And they were pushed there. This is what's shocking, Sean. They were pushed there be an overt action, an aggressive action on the part of Sen. Cochran’s campaign that was filled with race-baiting, lies, distortions. He literally ran the latter three weeks on food stamps. He ran on voter suppression and he ran on pork. Mississippi is a conservative state and one would think that our party was a conservative party. This proves otherwise.”

If you can swallow what was done to McDaniel you can swallow anything.
You ought to be disgusted. It was criminal.
Charles C. Johnson reports on Twitter that Sarah Jolley, a poll worker for Lamar County, reported that several people came in to vote and claimed to have voted in the Dem primary. Their names were not marked in the poll books as having voted in the Dem primary, however, so they were allowed to vote in the runoff.
I hope that is an isolated example of the fraud because it can’t be proven that those voters committed fraud. That kind of evidence will not get the election overturned/set aside.
Let’s hope there is better proof.
Till Monday. McDaniel’s people are right now trying to secure all the pollbooks in every county, starting with Hinds, which it sounds like they have most of and are working through. I really hope Tea Partiers in Mississippi are not on their asses during this. Get out. Be visible at these place. DEMAND the pollbooks. You have to intimidate the Barbour stooges
Monday.
I want to know who Peekaboo’s retarded family members are who LOVE Cockring. Sounds like they are related to a spasticated billy bob
The republicans and the tea party should be working together. The tea party cannot win by themselves, they need republicans to help them too. The democracts are loving all of this split among conservative groups. During the last election our local tea party groups worked along side republicans to get the vote out. If we want to get the senate back we should work together. Maybe McDaniel should try to run as a congressman from Mississippi. He might have a better chance. He isn’t behaving well. This feeds right into the media. They are more interested in the infighting than who the candidates are. I don’t hear much from the Oklahoma racew where Langston won over the tea party favorite Shannon. Langston was a tea party favortie in the last election. So the tea party in that area needs to make up its mind and what they really want. Had Langston lost this would have been a “win” for the tea party. So which tea party wins.

Agree - it was disgusting.
This robocall was put out by a PAC run by Henry Barbour, nephew of Haley.
Do you really think they want to ‘get along’ with the tea party?
Really?
Listen to it and tell me if you think the MSGOP and Cochran’s campaign really are interested in dialogue with the tea party...
You truly are one of the lower IQ trolls on FR aren’t you?
THIS
WAS
FRAUD
We have evidence. Over 1000 irregularities in one county alone! I owe the GOP NOTHING when they cheat. Nothing when they call me racist. Nothing when they work for Karl Rove. They stole this election from Chris McDaniel.
Lankford is a hack who went in as a Tea Partier and became a Boehner stooge who loves amnesty.
Take your unity BS and go to hell!
McDaniel won the most votes in the intial primary, and he can’t get past Monday to do the analysis that Barbour Co. actually admitted to, in terms of recruiting black democrats?
We need directives from McDaniel’s camp itself, if someone knows one of his staffers to talk to us?
How could MS law state you only have 6 days after the election to analyze and shine the headlights on voter fraud?
Another fraud report that doesn’t help. Geez.
Patsy Speights, the Receiving & Returning Manager for the Cedar Grove precinct of Marion County, reported that she saw many voters who normally vote in the Democrat primary come in and vote in the runoff. A party official confirmed that there were many attempts by Democrat-primary voters to vote in the runoff, but the official claims that all such attempts in Marion County were stopped by poll workers or the voters were given provisional ballots and the Marion County Republican Executive Committee promptly rejected, without question, any cross-over provisional ballots.
Now, bear in mind McDaniel and True The Vote seem to be appealing for the commish to postpone the Monday deadline because of what has been uncovered. We’ll see.
Like I said, Tea Party mobs would help put pressure on them.
I can’t believe the unity BS myself. I GOT that phone call. I was dumbfounded.
Obviously I am not the demographic Cochran wants to represent. So I will just be taking my vote somewhere else!
I have no clue if Childers has or has not cheated with his wife. I do know that he’s not openly living with some other woman and publically showing her off as his wife. And having the taxpayer ferry her on world trips.
Peekaboo is the worst kind of Repubican. The kind of schmuck Karl Rove has electioneer wet dreams over. I really hope McDaniel exposes this web of lies.
Another discouraging fraud report.
Mike Lee worked the Tougaloo College precinct in Madison County. They had a total of 17 voters. They had four attempts by Democrat-primary voters to vote in the runoff, but all four were turned away by poll workers.
Well, yeah, since Haley seems to think he owns Mississippi.
And conducts Democracy and elections to his whim!
OTOH, what if he DOES own MS?
Haley is as big as Mississippi. The fatass is one of the worst epic fails in southern governor history.
If this mess continues we will lose the senate. Hannity cannot vote in Mississippi anyway. The tea party has many facets I wish they would work as hard to get rid of Democrats rather than try to take down all republicans. Republians eat their own. Democrats stick together. Not all so called tea partiers are conservative. I have family in Mississippi. They love Cochran. and now think that McDaniel is a big sore loser.
BS. The runoff was stolen. It was done by sleazy republicans who encouraged democrats to steal it. I don’t allow anyone to treat me that way. And that includes republicans.
I would never ever vote for Thad after this.
The Republican Party is fractured beyond repair. This being the case, I’ll predict that the Democrats will take the House, Senate and Presidency. The Dems know we’re a dead party, and they’re behaving a accordingly.
