I don’t care what the AG’s opinion is - if its a law on the books, then I would hope the courts would uphold it.

If they uphold the law as written, they will have to throw out the votes of any McDaniel voters who don't intend to vote for Cochran if he's declared the winner.

Sounds like you are a Cochran supporter.

I'm not, but I'm a lawyer and I know a losing argument when I see one.

Looks to me like a devastating possibility — maybe not to the extent that Cochran’s lawyers could actually find thousands of such McDaniel voters, but rather that they could tie the proceedings endlessly in knots by subpoenaing one McDaniel voter after another.

The McDaniel folks gotta be hoping that Cochran’s lawyers don’t see your FR post!
