Oh good. Hope Chris McDaniel wins.

[RIghtwardHo]

About time! Hope he has some real evidence.

I don’t know how these things work, but why does this go to the state GOP instead of a court of law?

The last paragraph is, of course, a slanderous lie. No one has any problem with going after “black votes.” The problem is with libeling his opponent, and all tea partiers, as a KKK racist.

McDaniel-Cochran ping.

Mississippi voters don't register by party, but state law makes so-called crossover voting — casting a ballot in one party's primary and another party's runoff in the same cycle — a misdemeanor. Tyner said the campaign had found 3,500 instances of crossover votes, along with the 9,500 "irregular votes" and 2,275 "improperly cast" absentee ballots.

It won't be long now until the cries of "RACISM!!" are heard by either the Cochran camp or the NAACP. But then won't it be funny watching the NAACP defend blacks who voted in the Republican primary?

It's gonna be a hoot! Get the popcorn ready!!

If Sen. Thad Cochran had a clue, with 15,275 irregular votes, he ought to admit challenger Chris McDaniel won and bow out gracefully by retiring. By my antiquated math, 15,275 irregular votes for Cochran takes a might big chunk out of the certified 7,667. If McDaniel’s count is correct, I see a 7,608 vote discrepancy on raw numbers. Say good bye, Thad.

Rick Hasen, a law professor who runs the Election Law Blog, posts his analysis here.

I notice how Yahoo News uses “Cochran Foe...” in the item’s headline instead of “McDaniel...”.

Well here’s hoping the Mississippi GOP state executive committee (the challenge process requires that that be the initial step) renders its decision PROMPTLY so that the challenge can go to courts where the REAL decision will be made.

Of course it is likely that the RINO Barbour controlled Mississippi GOP state executive committee will drag on their “deliberations” as long as possible to help run out the clock.

Oh, dear, unless McDaniel has an airtight case, he’s going to be tagged a sore loser, which can be electorally fatal. I don’t fault conservatives for being irked about the Cochran campaign’s tactics though. I just don’t see conservatives gaining anything of consequence from it.

[Usagi_yo]

quite honestly it looks like Cochrane won’t even live another 6 years. So he’s running for who? Barber?

The MS State GOP is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Haley Barbour Family. This has about as much chance as Ice in Hell.

[CPT Clay]

State Republican Executive Committee is a kangaroo court.
