Thanks for your reply. I agree it’s too early yet as there is still a lot of water to flow
under the bridge, imo. What is the thinking with the ‘write in’ voting? It’s not
a legal vote as there is no write in candidate as I understand the situation. So is
it a form of protest voting?

Yes, but an organized “write in” effort with the same name, Chris McDaniel would probably attract more participants and therefore have a greater impact regardless of who wins the senate seat. There has been speculation that a federal judge could rule a the “write in” winner as “the people have spoke”. The space for write ins is on the Mississippi ballot because of either federal law or dictates, I forget which, according to the Mississippi SOS’s office.
