I lot has happened in the last 24 hours, more than I can keep up with, even after pulling an all-nighter!
****For starters, the McDaniel campaign has now identified 3300 illegal votes with only half of the counties canvased. It seems highly likely they may find enough invalidated votes to overturn the results of the election, especially if what has been said about absentee votes is true.
Of course, McDaniel doesnt actually need to find enough illegal votes to overturn the election, to prevail here. You see,they as backwards as Mississippis voting system seems to be, they actually have very strong laws against vote fraud, laws with teeth!
Theres an interesting concept here at play. By law, all Chris McDaniel has to do is provide enough evidence of fraud to taint the vote. In Mississippi the evidence of significant fraud can force a new election to be held. It would see, that with 3300 illegal votes so far, we may have met that threshold. Time will tell.

This is an interesting development. Resigning might just save Cochran from legal action, maybe. It also gives the Corrupt Republican Establishment a chance to appoint one of their cronies to fill-out the rest of Cochrans unexpired term.
Now unless McDaniel is the one appointed to fill Cochrans unexpired term [almost zero chance that will happen] whoever is appointed will not be able to run in November. The Republican candidate would be McDaniel. However, the Republicans could do a lot of damage to McDaniel. You know democrats would run ads claiming McDaniel is so undesirable that he was appointed to Senate by Governor.
If the source is correct, and Cochran is thinking of resigning, we pretty much know hes guilty of every thing alleged.
Catherine Engelbrecht, the brave Texas warrior from True The Vote who has been attacked viciously by the Obama regime, filed suit in federal court Tuesday against Mississippis Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann and the Mississippi Republican Party, asking a judge for an immediate injunction against them, so that the election material from the June 24 Republican primary runoff can be inspected.
Heres a copy of the lawsuit for readers to look over:

Pro-Cochran Super PAC run by Henry Barbour [Haley Barbour's nephew], funded by an unsecured Bank loan, looked at by the Federal Elections Commission.
From Roll Call:
[emphasis mine]
The federal agency regulating and monitoring money in federal elections is seeking answers from a pro-Cochran Super PAC regarding what appears to be campaign finance violations.
The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has sent a Request For Additional Information (RFAI) to Mississippi Conservatives, a Super PAC supporting the re-election of Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss. The committee has until August 1st to respond, or the failure to do so could result in an audit or enforcement action.
The FEC letter states the committee may have failed to file one or more of the required 24-hour report(s) regarding last minute independent expenditures. 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.
The FEC also sought answers for an independent expenditure paid to Winning Edge that was reported on a 24-hour report, but was not correlated with the committees Schedule E for the 12-Day pre-runoff report covering 5/15 through 6/4.
Remember Pete Perry, the Hinds County GOP chairman, who democrat party officials say approached them for help illegally stealing the election for Thad Cochran, by not swapping voter rolls, as is customary to ensure there is no crossover, or double voting?
The plot thickens:

There is much, much more going on, with breaking news by the minute!
If readers want to stay informed, I recommend following Charles C Johnson on Twitter. Charles has been the man behind all of the news coming out of Mississippi. Its his hard work that has produced all of the evidence against the Cochran campaign, Haley Barbour, and so on. Hes a one man army!
I know money is tight in Obamas America, but if you have some spare change, send it Charles way. Hes been doing all this fantastic work, that is finally being picked up by the national news, on his own dime. When this is all over, and justice prevails, Charles will be one of the Patriots we will owe a huge debt of gratitude to. Show that gratitude now by sending a couple of bucks to Charles at his research funding site here.
My father has always maintained that there wasn’t “a dime’s worth of difference” between the two parties.
Sadly, this stink proves it’s less than that...
The voters voted in the first primary for a DEMOCRAT.
There was a book that indicated what party people voted for and some bar code was put near the names to show this.
These folks came back and illegally (according to MS law, but there are no penalties apparently) voted REPUBLICAN.
The SLAM DUNK here is that there’s no debate. They voted Dem and should not have been able to vote Republican.
There’s always ‘he said, but it never happened’ with vote buying. Rarely is there proof.
But this is very easy to prove (well, with thousands of hours of legwork from volunteers) and a very smart approach.
If 5800 or so votes (whatever the exact margin was) can be placed in doubt (we’ll never know exactly how they voted, though we have a darn good idea they voted for Thud), that’s enough to require a new election.
Cochran apparently has told folks he’s out at that point.
Haley Barbour ran the PAC apparently that did the black radio station ads, “Go vote against those Tea Party folks who are out to steal your welfare and freebie programs” and the FEC is investigating that because they didn’t follow the rules.
I was thinking that maybe they had a better chance of slamming Cochran in the general.
A win win for the Left.

Do you have names because I haven't seen or heard anyone who would still vote for him.
The republicans really are stupid. The democrats must be laughing their asses off. The gopE got in bed with the democrats to commit voter fraud because the democrats know how to do it. But it will be the gop who goes down in flames. And for years the media will be talking about the republican vote fraud. Of course, the liberal voters will have their line to spew constantly.
Kornboy would...I’m a thinking.........
I remember the Toon impeachment and there were just a few "band of brothers" who stood up tall and strong....
is it the money?...the blackmail?...is it that they really know we're all going to one world govt and they want their piece of it?....
I agree...though I’m not one who understands the legistics of the laws in Miss.
But you can bet the demorats will not let this pass unopposed...they will fight with leverages and money and blackmail to disrupt this effort.
And don’t forget the 19,000 Absentee ballots that you know are chock full of illegal votes.
>> 3300 illegal votes so far, we may have met that threshold.
Oddly doubtful given the toothy voracity of the law.
Aren’t the individuals who voted twice in some sort of legal jeopardy?
If this becomes reality...
... I might actually start to believe that The Good Guys really DO win in the end, again.
Maybe.
Got an update?
Any possibility of Mr. McDaniel adopting a strategy from the Lisa Murkowski playbook and go Independent during the general election? The dems would be less likely to cross over thinking they may have a chance at the seat. The conservatives could coalesce around McDaniel, leaving the rino voting portion of the GOP on their own? Just a thought.
No, he cannot be a write-in and the door shut on an independent run back in January due to laws there.
