Wow - first I’ve heard of this !!!
Anybody interested in letting the Republican National Committee know what you think about this matter: http://www.gop.com/contact-us/
Have at it.
The doofus McDaniel should have had a strategy BEFORE the runoff date. Such as attacking Cochran for his support for amnesty — which Dave Brat used to decimate Eric Cantor. But he sat there and refused to rally the White base, while Cochran rallied the Democrat’s Black base. Idiot.
Anyone know what might trigger a recount? It’s common for a recount to be automatically triggered if the margin of victory is .5% or less. But also a recount can commonly be triggered if it’s proven that there were substantial irregularities with the voting. Often, the loser is highly pressured to waive their right to a recount to keep “party unity”.
Not sure what MS law requires, but apparently McDaniel doesn’t need to find 7,000 illegal votes, but enough to show the election was tainted - wonder what that threshold is.
They should immediately bring charges against those 1500 fraudulent voters. After so many have spent plenty on a lawyer or spent a few days in the slammer, reduce/drop the charges when they tell who got them to vote.
Advertise “if you voted illegally in the June 24 runoff, you will be prosecuted. Admit it before xxx and charges will be reduced/dropped”.
I’m sure that won’t work like I want - but it’s fun to imagine it working ;)
They can find the rest in Madison, Oktibbeha, Humphreys, and Holmes Counties.
What McDaniel might do is demand indictment of the individual fraudulent voter AND the poll official that helped in the crime. He would only have to do that a few times to scare the voter fraud out of Thad’s Black Legions and crooked Democrat poll officials all over the South. Then run a write-in campaign that would beat the Democrats in the race (Cochran and the other guy).
um... how can he prove who they voted for?

Any word yet on hard drive crashes in the county clerks’ offices in Mississippi? Happens all the time you know.

It is amazing and maddening how most of the press, including Fox news, has covered the story of this election. It seems the long term incumbent Cochran reached out beyond the Republican base and won votes from other groups. How wonderful, and by doing that, he was able to turn back the radical Tea Party candidate McDaniel.
All that and similar nonsense is presented with not a word about potential illegal votes in the 1,000s and other forms of voter fraud. And not even a mention that votes are being reviewed and improper votes have already been found.
It is shameless and nothing will turn it around on this story unless the election results are voided and some remedy required.
How about a write in campaign in November?
The RHINOs should be extinct with these kind of tactics.
McDaniel.
McDaniel McDaniel McDaniel. There is nobody in this race named McDaniels.
That is very mild name calling compared to what Haley Barbour and Cochran did.
Senator Cochran should realize he needs to retire... And stop bringing the GOP to such great DISGRACE...
Remember that Henry Barbour was part of the Growth and Opportunity Project, and that this clown is helping determine the future direction of the Republican Party. Anyone else think the Tea Party can take over from the inside? Me neither.
I hope he fights on until the bitter end. Not another Norm Coleman wuss.
Primaries should be closed by any reasoning
