Yes, that’s right, a new election. And those 35,000 to 40,000 democrats that came out for Cochran are going to stay home this time.
If the Democrats were smart (I guess that asks for the impossible, but they are ruthless and corrupt), they would push for a new runoff and turn out in droves to vote illegally for Cochran, causing a whole new round of challenges, turmoil, and division. Would almost guarantee the Democrat a win in the general election.
