And it appears reading the page as a record of invalid votes is correct ...
Campaigns wait as votes begin to roll in
One voter Annette Harper came to the precinct this afternoon looking to vote, but was told she couldn't vote because her name was on the Democratic poll book as voting in the June 3 Democratic primary.
It seems some are confused. We WANT the vote certified so McD can get access to the voter rolls and challenge it in court,,he only has a certain amount of time to do that AFTER it is certified.
If Cochran’s camp succeeds in holding up the certification,,,,which is what they are trying to do,,,,,it will give McD even LESS time to view the rolls and collect the evidence needed to challenge it.
So yes,,we want the vote certified .......
“UPDATE: The Cochran campaign is reportedly asking county clerks not to certify the voting rolls until the last day possible so that the McDaniel people will not be able to look at the rolls and challenge them.”
Please correct me if I’m wrong but that’s how I am reading it in the article of reference.
Even worse for the corrupt MS GOP elections Commission.

If the Democrats keep a tally of who votes in the DEM primary, that would change things. At least then you could determine approximately how many votes were illegally cast, by going through all the poll books.
That still leaves the problem of verifying who those illegal votes were cast for, however, since ballots are supposed to be secret. Sure, you could assume they’re mostly Cochran, but it would probably take individual interviews to verify that.
Possible outcome: A sympathetic judge rules that the RunOff Election is invalidated, and must be held again, with poll workers instructed to tell every voter that they are not eligible to vote if they voted Dem in the June 3 primary.
Best outcome: Senator Cochran realizes the mess he’s created here and concedes the election to McDaniel based on his near certain opinion that he won it only because votes were cast illegally for him. That would reunite the GOP as well, and someone should get working on making it happen.
