Just a bundle update for people interested in this, the most important story of the week.
1) McDaniel camp has verified they have currently 3300 fraudulent votes found, and thats not even HALF of the ballots looked through yet
2) Latest tweet from Charles Johnson who blew this thing wide open

“REPORT from credible source: Cochran is planning to resign if a special election is called.. #mssen”
If Cochran resigned today, the ballot still prints his name, and a blank line for write-in below it. None of Cochroach’s ballot checks would be counted but God knows what mayhem would
happen on the write-in line unless Chris McDaniel stickers are printed and mailed to every Mississippian, since a lot of Democrats now are engaged in the Republican campaign.
“Specifically, the committee did not file a 24-hour report for a $15,000 payment on May 30th to Scott Howell & Company as an independent expenditures against Chris McDaniel, R-Miss.”
Where have we heard that magic number before.
Bump to your post.
Looks like the marx-o-crats win either way. Thud takes the seat down in flames or this is strung out to the last minute with McDaniels not having time to get traction. (yeah, I’m in a bad mood)
The most important part of this is: what do the voters think? It seems that so far Cochran’s victory has been utterly pyrrhic and self-destructive. If that’s the case, McDaniel’s hand just keeps getting stronger.
This is as much a PR campaign as a legal one. There has to be such a demand that no judge could turn it down, no matter what the bribe from the insiders. This will be the GOPe’s Waterloo.
In addition to the ballots cast, there are more than 19,000 absentee ballots that came in for the runoff and were significantly higher than for the first primary. The McDaniel camp strongly suspects there is substantial fraud in these absentee ballots and they have not yet begun to review them.
Cochran should resign because if it is proven that he is linked in any way to buying votes with walking around money, then he will be kicked out of Congress and I think that entails losing his pension.
