If it pops up, I'll read the opinion. My guess is that the court worked a literal reading of the statutes, which provides for access to the ballots (only). During the presser yesterday, one of the lawyers, who is also in Mississippi legislature, said that the statutes allow for numerous tricks. Maybe this is one of them, hide the invalid voters by making it expensive to view the pollbooks.

McDaniel plans to challenge the outcome of both elections, I think. They said that they believe McDaniel won the primary, getting over half of the valid votes on June 3rd. If that argument fails, they can also argue that the results of the runoff are not a reliable indication of the will of the voters.

The True The Vote (TTV) federal lawsuit cites federal statutes pertaining to elections that require ALL campaign materials designated for safekeeping to be accessible to political parties for review.

A federal judge from Texas is now assigned to the TTV case. If this judge follows the law, then there is the issue of ‘tolling’ because Mississippi law grants a 12 day window from the time the results are certified to the time a legal challenge must be timely filed.

I am hoping McDaniel joins TTV in their lawsuit and amends the order for injunction to include a new deadline.

Correct, that's what they said.
