For what it’s worth, maybe not much.......

According to state law, write-in candidates are permitted only as the legitimate substitute
of a candidate who has died, resigned, withdrawn or been removed from the race.

That applies to every race, whether it’s a primary, special or general election at
any level of government, said Pamela Weaver, communications director of the secretary of
state’s office.

But every election ballot includes a space for write-in candidates, whether or not one
is needed for that race. It’s there just in case a write-in does become eligible.

And that’s perhaps where the confusion occurs, since some people see the space and assume
write-ins are allowed in all elections.

If Cochran jeopardized black democrats by possibly enticing them to break election law - especially if bribes can be documented - can he be removed from the race?

You KNOW Team Barbour didn’t fully explain what the risks were for the crossover blacks.
