Volunteers working for tea party challenger Chris McDaniel in Mississippi say they have already found 20 percent of the invalid double-votes they need to cancel Sen. Thad Cochrans business-funded runoff victory.
Were finished with Hinds County, and were up to 1,500 invalid votes, said Noel Fritsch, Daniels press aide.
Thats critical because McDaniel can force another runoff if he can find more invalid votes than Cochrans roughly 7,000-vote margin-of-victory on June 24. Votes are invalidated if voters cast ballots in both the Democrats June 3 primary and the GOPs run-off on June 24.
However, McDaniel can also force another election even if he cant find 7,000 invalid ballots, said Fritsch.
We dont have to prove that we have 7,000 [invalid] votes . all there needs to be is enough doubt about the election, and were confident about that, he said.
That cancel by doubt strategy gives the McDaniel campaign an incentive to collect evidence about possible vote-buying and other potentially unethical behavior by Cochrans campaign.
So far, there are many reports about shady outreach to Democratic voters supposedly undertaken by Cochran and his allies, particularly done by relatives of former Gov. Haley Barbour.
For example, The Daily Caller reported that Henry Barbour, the head of the Mississippi Conservatives PAC and the nephew of Haley Barbour, paid Democratic operative Mitzi Bickers to make paid calls to potential Cochran supporters. Those calls may have spurred many loyal Democrats to cast invalid votes.
In the search for improper votes, GOP officials who are affiliated with Cochrans campaign are trying to block McDaniels search for invalidated votes that are recorded in the poll books, Fritsch said.

However, 19,000 absentee voters cast ballots in the GOP run-off, and many of those votes may be improper, say McDaniels allies.

You have utterly no idea what you are talking about.
District vs. State is irrelevant. Mississippi is one of only 3 states (NE, AZ) nationwide to bar Obama's DACA recipients from receiving drivers licenses and any state aid or benefits. I run the largest immigration page on Facebook, with a large mailing list. We ran 3 email campaigns against Cantor on the border and illegal alien crimes in VA. It was our #1 race. I think I know a thing or two about this issue. Our polling is right now off the charts, with amnesty at its lowest level of support since the passage of SB1070 in AZ. It's sad you know nothing about this issue. Sadder still that you back your ignorance up with Ad Hominems. Is that all you've got?
On no, you have more. From your one piece I can find on the issue:
In the 2012 primary season, we saw an intramural food fight erupt as three candidates who live 1200 miles away from Mexico lectured the governor of a state with 1200 miles of Mexican border -- and we saw him stumble to reply. Why? They were all four buried in hypothetical minutia.The result was nothing coherent from the GOP on immigration as part of that campaign. It was all so meaningless and needless.
Riiight, so Rick Perry's incoherence on this issue was their fault. Meanies! Do you really think if Romney & Co. had played nice with Rick on in-state tuition he would have won and trounced Obama? He is a buffoon. He had to be dragged into mere lip service on the illegal invasion taking place in the RGV. Please do some research on the immigration issue outside of CATO talking points, and then get back to me.
McDaniel.
McDaniel McDaniel McDaniel. There is nobody in this race named McDaniels.
APOSTROPHES are our friends. Writer uses them correctly. Let the reader discern correctly.
You call the man who stepped forward to challenge the wretched establishment a “doofus”? Chris ran a race at least good enough to increase his margin of Republican victory. If Cockroach retains his stolen nomination, it will only intensify the travesty. It’s time that we conservatives stop eating our own! Bob
If you read that piece of mine, from a book that has the GOPe really irritated, then you are aware I have some signficant anti GOPe cred. And no, I don’t excuse Perry’s incoherence. In fact, I blame him for it, but he still knows a lot more about immigration reality than Santorum or Bachmann, which was another of my points, and I stand by all of those points.
As for you, you are obviously obsessed with this issue. Sorry dude, or dudette, but that’s not universal. It just isn’t. I know that pops your balloon, but reality sucks sometimes.
And your really ignorant statement that there’s no difference between a rural state and a city district means you have a big big big problem with logic and reality.
Well, most logical Freepers will know who they voted for. Besides, the problem is they voted illegally in the first place.
What’s wrong, pfony1-—still upset that the Tea Party went after Eric Cantor?
Hardly. It ebbs and flows in effectiveness. Right now, it is flowing like never before in polling, due to the anger at the border chaos Obama has engineered. It is even spilling over into polling on legal immigration, as the new Gallup poll shows.
Also I did not say districts and states are the same. But you implied the issue doesn't work in a state, and that is simply wrong.
There is really no such thing as a secret ballot. A Court can make them open the “who’d you vote for file”.
Our main disagreement is this: I think anyone who cares about this issue did vote, and did vote McDaniel. I don’t think he left any “money on the table” on this issue. That’s my main point. His total vote figures were impressive for a mid term primary.
I implied, and even assert, that the issue does not work in some states like it did in that single Virginia district - I speak of those with large migrant worker populations. The migrant worker dynamic has been around for much longer than the last 2-3 decades, when the invasion really picked up - and many of those people who depend on them (which includes all of us who eat fruits and veggies BTW) - will not support the extremes you probably do on deport. They just won’t. Not saying it’s right, just saying it is.
And not a lot of farmers in Cantor’s district, BTW.
So yes, it is effective, but not equally or universally ..and still, there’s just no way in hell Cochran is going to be as impacted by this issue as is Cantor. Cantor was one of the known leaders of the movement, Cochran was not. Period. End of discussion.
“I dont think the national GOP believe they can do much as they need Cochrans seat if he prevails in court or as opponent to a possible McDaniels write-in campaign.”
The National Republican Senatorial Committee gave the $175 thousand that was spent on the “rascist, KKK” robo calls against McDaniel directed at the black community and paid for the “Flyers” with the same message and I understand at least part of the “walking around money”. Details of spending this money was apparently carried out by austin barbour and a gentleman Mr. Perry who was also chairman of Cochran’s Hinds County campaign and CHAIRMAN of Hinds County Republican party. I was told by senator’s roger wicker’s office that he was for thad and was pleased with the outcome and was proud and aware of the RNSC involvement. Mississippi does not allow a “write In” but it would show in the count as a “NO VOTE”
has anyone mentioned the republican chairman for Hinds County was arrested for DUI late last week? Was on the local station.
It doesn’t require much incitement to incited the ‘poor and underprivileged’ to commit voter fraud, it bees in dare nacha.

Thanks for the link. I just sent the following e-mail:
I just want you to know that the despicable deeds pulled off by Thad Cochran and Haley Barbour in the Mississippi Senate race, has done more damage to the Republican Party than you can ever imagine. You are losing your Conservative Base; and they’re taking their donations and votes with them. You may as well resign yourself to the fact that the GOP will NOT gain control of the Senate in November. Conservatives will not vote for the likes of Mitch McConnell, who has vowed to “crush” Conservatives, and Thad Cochran, who admitted doing “indecent” things with farm animals, and now, does “indecent” things at the ballot box. But, remember, all you Republican Establishment “fat-cats”, you brought it on yourself.
Yeppers, I was so ready for McDaniels (SIC) to make a mistake and descend from perfection myself - which he did with flying colors in not attacking amnesty! He is part of the establishment - NEVER MIND WHAT HE HAS DONE BEFORE!!!
I HATE McDaniels (SIC)!!! I HATE McDaniels (SIC)!!! I HATE McDaniels (SIC)!!!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!! BOOHOO !!! BOOHOO !!!
Gee, I feel better too now. Nothing like whining about a whiner!
Apparently federal law mandates a space on the ballot at each race but doesn’t mandate they be counted and Mississippi law says the can’t be counted or recorded but they will show in the totals of those that voted but not in a particular race as a “NO VOTE”. I have talked with the Mississippi Secretary of State’s office about this. A “NO VOTE” campaign would probably be more successful if all used the same name, at this point if that were to happen the name would probably be Chris McDaniel, with or without his permission.
how can he prove who they voted for?
_____________________________________________________________
He doesn’t have to prove who they voted for. The Mississippi State Chairman of the Democrat Party stated that in a couple of other threads on here. He is helping the McDaniel campaign uncover the fraud. I remember him desperately trying to get Democrats not to get involved in this before the Election. I believe his last name is Cole; not sure.
Even if McDaniels prevails, the slime left behind by cockroach Cochran and McDaniels has probably already forfeited the seat.
