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 doesn’t actually need to find enough illegal votes to overturn the election, to prevail here. You see,they as backwards as Mississippi’s voting system seems to be, they actually have very strong laws against vote fraud, laws with teeth!
There’s 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 Cochran’s unexpired term.
Now unless McDaniel is the one appointed to fill Cochran’s 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 he’s 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 Mississippi’s 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.
Here’s 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 committee’s 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. It’s his hard work that has produced all of the evidence against the Cochran campaign, Haley Barbour, and so on. He’s a one man army!
I know money is tight in Obama’s America™, but if you have some spare change, send it Charles’ way. He’s 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.
Everyone should note your post
The fact that the largest county vote is not allowed to be scrutinized...and another not scrutinized because a Cochran relative runs the elections office...that convinces me there was fraud
Thad Cochran and his supporters committed Vote Fraud
Thad Cochran is scum, the GOPe supporting him are scum, the Parasite Class voters to whom they pandered are scum, and crimes have been committed. People should end up in prison over this.
Thad Cochran delenda est.
Be sure to use the correct Big Media scandal phrases.
"This brings the number of vote crimes to 4900 ..."
How many needed for a lynchin' ?
I would think that the Attorney General Eric Holder will step in and put pressure on the illegality of these things... (SARC)
Who is to blame for the failure to convict Bill Clinton in his impeachment proceeding?
1. The 50 GOP Senators who voted to convict on one article and the 45 GOP Senators who voted to convict on the second article.
2. Or the five (ten) GOP Senators who failed to find him guilty.
3. Or the 45 Democrat senators who voted unanimously "not guilty".
Yeah, I can see how the Arlen Specters might have been a disappointment. But the real blame lies with the Tom Harkins.
I’m with you, would like to see itvas well.
Particularly since, if Cochrane is now the certified nominee, removing himself from the ballot would open the election to write-ins, right?
So if thats the case a possible Murkowski repeat is possible. McDaniels is the GOP nominee (assuming he is the default replacement for Cochrane) but one or more GOPe candidates run. They either win (like Murkowski did) or act as spoilers and hand the election to Childers.
So a very complex situation, one that’s actually becoming more complex as things progress.
The race card and massive voter fraud. The GOP has truly become what it once claimed to despise.
Some names to recall are closely linked to this mess: Barbour, McCain. And McCain has always been one to stoop to any depth to protect his incumbency. Hope Arizona is watching.
Same with me. When the GOP-E backstabbed Palin, it was a true political watershed moment for me. My lifelong support of the Republican Party just died right then and there. I lost all trust, faith and respect in the GOP.
Seeing this vibrant pushback against the jaw-dropping sleaze and fraud by the Cochran camp has been very heartening.
Many of the same people complaining about him now, would STILL call him the lesser of two evils and crawl naked over broken glass and AIDS infested needles to rally people to vote for him in November.
Many, but not enough I think. From what I’ve seen here only one person has made that argument, guy this morning named kornhole or somthing (quickly dotted) who was trashed by everyone in the thread for making it.
Particularly since, if Cochrane is now the certified nominee,
********************
Cochran will be the official nominee after certification which I think occurs July 7th.
Complex is right.
I sent some $$ a few days ago..but what pisses me off is that organizations like Club for Growth and Freedom Works, which have invested big $$$ in McDaneiel, won’t just step up and tell him he can have whatever funds he needs to challenge the election.
zotted, not dotted. Stupid autocorrect ...
I don’t think Cochran has the capacity to be thinking of resigning. Whoever controls him is telling him to resign.
What you need is a good bluff. What we need is to convince Cochran that he's been so tainted by this that the best bet for him, his state, and his party, is to retire on his reputation and let the next generation of Mississippians (McDaniel) take over, while the timing is still in Cochran's favor.

Me too. I just sent him $20. I love to skewer the GOP.
What came out of that press conference that was scheduled for 2PM CST?
