Be sure to click on this linked PDF and read it for yourself.
Danny Bedwell (Libertarian) on Ballotpedia, 2018 Vote Smart
Shawn O'Hara (Reform) on Ballotpedia and on Wikipedia.
"O'Hara is well known for his frequently running for mayor of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. He has sought the office in every city election since 1989.[3][4]
O'Hara first ran for Governor of Mississippi in 1991 as the Reform Party candidate. He received 11,253 votes, or 1.58%. He ran as the Reform Party candidate for the United States Senate in Mississippi in 2000.[5] He received 7,315 votes, or 0.74% of the vote. In 2002 he ran for the U.S. Senate again and was the lone challenger to Thad Cochran. He received 97,226 votes, or 15.42%.
While a member of the Reform Party, O'Hara supported the candidacy of George W. Bush. After his party nominated Ralph Nader as presidential candidate in 2004, O'Hara said he hoped Nader could spoil the election: "Im doing everything I can to make sure John Kerry never gets around the White House."[6] This sentiment, and the fact that O'Hara was a supporter of the Ku Klux Klan's Samuel Bowers,[7] and his statements that he had once favored the execution of abortion doctors, put O'Hara odds with other Reform Party members.[8] In 2003 he was the Reform Party candidate for Governor of Mississippi and received 4,070 votes for 0.46% of the vote. In 2007 O'Hara ran as a Democrat for state treasurer and received 284,789 votes (39.47%).[9] O'Hara sought the Democratic Party nomination for the United States Senate in 2008, however, he was defeated in the primary by Erik R. Fleming 65.8% - 34.2%.[10] O'Hara ran for the seat in Mississippi's 3rd congressional district as a Democrat.[11]
Much to the chagrin of Reform Party members, O'Hara returned to their party in 2011. He announced he would run for governor on their ticket, and also filed to run for state treasurer as both a Democrat and a Reform Party candidate.[12][13] He received 26,290 votes, or 3.01%, in the race for state treasurer.
In Mississippi's 2012 election for U.S. Senate, O'Hara ran as the Reform Party candidate and received 13,194 votes, or 1.06%. He ran for Governor of Mississippi in the 2015 election, finishing last with less than 2% of the vote."
In this race, I CAN NOT vote for RINO Wicker.
He's voted with Schumer more than he's voted for the Republicans. So I'll be voting for
Danny Bedwell, the Libertarian.
Now for the SPECIAL ELECTION, which for some NOT STATED REASON, Mississippi decided NOT TO GIVE THE PARTY AFFILIATION of the candidates.
So I WILL !
Jere's what the
Clarion Ledger wrote about it.
"Though the special election is nominally nonpartisan, candidates tell voters their affiliation. Bartee and Espy are Democrats, while Hyde-Smith and McDaniel are Republicans.
The sample ballot is not a mandate, so local election officials may list candidates in a different order within each race, as long at ballots have Senate races at the top, then House, then judicial."
Here's the candidates.
SPECIAL ELECTION
For United States Senate Vote for ONE
- Tobey Bernard Bartee
- Mike Espy
- Cindy Hyde-Smith
- Chris McDaniel
- Write-in __________________
My vote here is very clear after the way Cochran and the other
"ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" resorted to dirty tactics against
Chris Mc Daniel. Chris McDaniel will ALWAYS get MY vote.
But for background, read
'Remember Mississippi ?' Good Lord, how could we ever forget #MSSen 2014 ? Also read

But back to the research for those who don't
"REMEMBER MISSISSIPPI !", here's some more research.
Now for the House Of Representative Elections :
For US House Of Representatives
1st Congressional District
Vote for ONE
- Trent Kelly
- Randy Mack Wadkins
- Tracella Lou O'Hara Hill
- Write-in __________________
Trent Kelly (Republican) on C.R. Scorecard, On The Issues, Vote Smart, and Ballotpedia. IF I had to vote in this District Trent Kelly WOULD GET MY VOTE.
Randy Mack Wadkins (Democrat) on Ballotpedia, Vote Smart, and Jackson Free Press - Candidate Questionnaire. Randy Wadkins has refused to provide voters with positions on key issues covered by the 2018 Political Courage Test, despite repeated requests from Vote Smart and voters like you.
Tracella Lou O'Hara Hill (Reform) on Ballotpedia, Vote Smart, and Your Vote Counts. Tracella O'Hara Hill has not completed the 2018 Political Courage Test, for Vote Smart.

Next we have:
For US House Of Representatives
2nd Congressional District
Vote for ONE
- Bennie G. Thompson
- Irving Harris
- Troy Ray
- Write-in __________________
Bennie G. Thompson (Democrat) on C.R. Scorecard, On The Issues, and Vote Smart.
Bennie Thompson has not completed the 2018 Political Courage Test for Vote Smart.
Irving Harris (Reform) on Ballotpedia, and I can't find any other information on him.
Troy Ray (Independent) on Ballotpedia, Vote Smart, and Twitter.com/RepTroyRay.
If I was force to choose a candidate for this district, I probably choose Troy Ray based mostly off of his Twitter page.
But this is not an easy choice because none of the candidate really stand out.
Now for the next race:
Finally we have:
For US House Of Representatives
4th Congressional District
Vote for ONE
- Jeramey Anderson
- Steven Palazzo
- Lajena Sheets
- Write-in __________________

There are many important choices to make, so
do your own homework, and DO IT NOW !
Don't wait until the last moment, and DON'T VOTE AGAINST YOUR OWN VALUES!
To: Yosemitest
Thank you, Yosemitest. I’m hoping that conservative Mississippians can see through that Hyde-Smith woman (and the President’s foolish endorsement of her) and remember their support of Chris McDaniel. He’s the one who needs to be in the U.S. Senate.

Were running 2 Republicans in one race?
***********
Nope. Two separate seats. One full term and one special election
to replace Thad Cochran who resigned earlier this year.

In the special election, Senate candidates run without party labels, and they appear alphabetically on the sample ballot: Tobey Bernard Bartee, Mike Espy, Cindy Hyde-Smith and Chris McDaniel.
Republican Gov. Phil Bryant appointed Hyde-Smith to temporarily succeed longtime Sen. Thad Cochran, who retired in April. If nobody wins a majority in the special election Nov. 6, the top two candidates will advance to a Nov. 27 runoff, and the race could be crucial in deciding whether Republicans maintain the Senate majority. The winner will serve the final two years of the six-year term Cochran started.
Though the special election is nominally nonpartisan, candidates tell voters their affiliation. Bartee and Espy are Democrats, while Hyde-Smith and McDaniel are Republicans.

"Were running 2 Republicans in one race ?"
"Nope. Two separate seats. ..."
Yes, we have
'Two separate Seats'.
BUT we ARE running TWO 'SO-CALLED' Republicans in the "
SPECIAL ELECTION For United States Senate" Seat.
ONE is a LIFE-LONG Republican, Chris McDaniel.
The OTHER is a DemocRAT that TURNED Republican in 2010, and that is Cindy Hyde-Smith." From 1999 to 2010, she served in elected office as a Democrat.
She switched to the Republican Party in 2010.
She described herself as having been a conservative Democrat during her tenure in the state legislature.[20]
She voted in the Democratic primary in 2008.[21] "
Now know
this:
"Phil Bryant, the Republican governor of Mississippi, defied a last-minute appeal from the White House [Trump] and announced Wednesday that he was appointing Cindy Hyde-Smith, the states agricultural commissioner, to fill the seat Senator Thad Cochran is vacating ..."
Also know the background about the
"ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS' " SMEARS AND LIES against Chris McDaniels Voting Records.
Cochran Camp Distorts Chris McDaniels Voting Records " ... So, let us deal with each of these latest smears in succession:The Smear: In 2003, Mississippi Republicans were working hard to nominate Haley Barbour in the Republican primary to defeat Democrat Governor Ronnie Musgrove. But Chris McDaniel voted in the Democrat primary instead.
The Truth: This is charge is not true, but no matter if it was. Haley Barbour was in no risk of losing the nomination whatsoever, but at this time, almost all of Jones Countys elected officials were Democrats, still beholden to Daddys Party. In local elections in 2003 there were some hotly contested races, especially for sheriff. Most everyone in the county voted on the Democratic side that year.
But what is more interesting is the political change in Jones County in subsequent elections. Chris McDaniel was one of the leaders who convinced many county elected officials to drop their history of allegiance to the Democratic Party and switch to the GOP. More than half of Jones Countys elected officials are now Republicans. This is true Republican leadership.
The Smear: In 2004, President George W. Bush was being challenged in the general election by liberal Democrat U.S. Senator John Kerry. Chris McDaniel did not vote in that election.
The Truth: George W Bush was unopposed in the 2004 primaries, neither US Senator was up for re-election, and there was no primary in the 4th Congressional District. A lot of folks didnt vote.
The Smear: In 2008, Republicans in Mississippi were nominating a candidate in the primary to take on Barack Obama in the Presidential election. Chris McDaniel did not vote in that election, either.
The Truth: Jones Countys Circuit Clerk, Bart Gavin, has signed an official document that Senator McDaniel did vote in the 2008 primary election. (McDaniels official voting record)
Some people suggest that
"Mr. Bryant had dutifully followed the orders of Senator Mitch McConnell" ..." and I believe that to be true.
You can either vote for the DemocRAT pretending to be a RINO, Ms. Hyde-Smith,
who votes with Schumer 50 percent of the time,
or you can
vote for a a LIFE-LONG REPUBLICAN, Chris McDaniel .
Burt remember,
EVERY VOTE FOR RINO Cindy Hyde-Smith IS A VOTE FOR SCHUMER !,

Judge Roy Moore won that election.
Did you watch the live coverage of the vote count?
Did you watch the youtube.com video that shows the reduction in the total count of over 2,000 votes (
16,028 dropped to 14,321 Roy Moore Write-in votes) of the COMPUTER TOTAL for JUDGE Roy Moore in just one minute, from 6:58 to 6:59 of the LIVE running voting COMPUTER COUNT video Seth Abramson posted, that he shows in his own video ?
Start at 4 minutes 33 seconds into
THE VIDEO and go until 16:20, the end of the video.
Tell me ...
WHEN does a running total vote count GO DOWN, and NOT UP ?
The live feed from the Alabama Secretary of State Live Reporting of the Alabama US Senate General Election VERIFIED the voter fraud, and ALL the networks showed it in LIVE TIME.
Judge Roy Moores Write-In Vote totals WENT DOWN from 24,000 to 16,000, and then WENT DOWN to 14,000 votes !
You want to explain JUST HOW that happens with the time stamped screen shots,
without being FRAUD by someone manipulating the totals in LIVE TIME ?
That's 10,000 write-in votes right there ....THAT WERE FLIPPED FROM JUDGE Roy Moore, TO Doug Jones; making a difference of 20,000 Votes stolen. And that's ASSUMING that Judge Roy Moore got ZERO more votes while the "Vote Flipping" was being done !
Research
Bev Harris.
Watch this video about the same voting machine software that Alabama uses :
Things have changed!
Bennie Smith, a Memphis computer programmer, discovered HOW this is done through a
" ... a GEMS tabulatorfor Global Election Management Systemwhich is a personal computer installed with Diebold software that sits in a windowless room in the countys election headquarters.
The tabulator is the brains of the system.
It monitors the voting machines, sorts out which machines have delivered data and which havent, and tallies the results.
As voting machines check in and their votes are included in the official count, each machines status turns green on the GEMS master panel.
A red light means the upload has failed.
At the end of Memphiss election night in October 2015, there was no indication from the technician running Shelby Countys GEMS tabulator that any voting machine hadnt checked in or that any votes had gone missing, according to election commission e-mails obtained by Bloomberg Businessweek.
Yet as county technicians followed up on the evidence from Smiths poll-tape photo, they discovered more votes that never made it into the election night count, all from precincts with large concentrations of black voters. ... "
Diebold Election Systems changed its name in 2006 to
Premier Election Solutions.
Bloomberg's article titled
How to Protect Against Election Day Hacking gives more proof of this by Memphis computer programmer Bennie Smith.
"... The method Smith used to catch the problem should be a playbook for any candidate, party or concerned citizen worried about the accurate tallying of their votes:Smith snapped some pictures of printed voting tallies (known as poll tapes) at a high-turnout polling location and then compared the results there to the electronic tabulations.
This is a very good, if labor-intensive, way to check to ensure that votes are being counted correctly.
Smith has created a proof-of-concept program called Fraction Magic, showing how corrupt officials could tamper with GEMS to manipulate election outcomes.

This map shows all the locations across the U.S. that use the GEMS vote-tabulation system as of Nov 2016.
... "

I saw all the crap with the Alabama election....end result is, no matter the reason, Moore ain't in the seat.
Was also righteously pissed when the did what they did to McDaniel - the dems and Barbour worked their evil together and not quite enough votes showed up for MaDaniel...I really liked him then and would not mind him in the seat now but he has been a bit whiny for a while and has lost his luster to many after almost disappearing for a while...
Trump seems to have an uncanny sense of what he needs to do his agenda and the best way to go about getting it...after the way we showed him the errors of his ways with Moore, I'm gonna go with him while he's President.
Do what makes you able to live with yourself, and sorry about how I got a bit heated up...I'm going to play the odds for winning instead of assuaging my altruistic side which says losing one is OK if it makes me feel better about myself as I swirl down the toilet with the rest ....

I'm too old to compromise my values any more.
I've been 'lied-to' too many times by
ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" and I'm against ANY of them today.
Cindy Hyde-Smith is a 'RAT, pure and simple.
It makes no sense to my as to WHY Trump allow his cabinet to sell him that piece of trash.
Trumps personal pick was Sen. Roger Wicker, and Wicker is another SWAMP 'RAT that votes with Chuck Schumer most of the time.
Don't believe me; look at
Wicker's C.R Scorecard with his 38 Percent rating, or
Liberty For All's Wicker Scorecard of 35 Percent.
With choices like that .... grrrrrrrrrr ... it really makes me wonder
Just WHAT THE HELL IS HE THINKIN' !

Pisses me off too - but reality is that some percent is better than zero percent - if we can keep the majority through Trump’s first term, we can make improvements during his second term. Good luck.
