Bear in mind that the photo causing so much ruckus doesn’t prove that the voter voted DEM on June 3rd, nor does it prove that said voter voted for Cochran on June 24th.
All the photo indicates is that someone who usually votes DEM did vote in both elections. If they usually vote DEM, but didn’t on June 3rd, perhaps because they had a strong preference for, say, McDaniel, then they might well have voted McDaniel both times.
Unlikely, I’ll concede that, but the photo isn’t sufficient, only suggestive. Highly suggestive, true, but not conclusive by any stretch of the imagination. (And a lot of imaginations are being stretched to the limit right now.)
OK I’m getting confused here. I thought that on June 3 a Dem had to vote for a Dem and Repub for a Repub. And only in the runoff can a NON-voting Dem vote in repub runoff. Wrong I guess. So cross-over allowed in both elections?
Highly suggestive, yes.
But if you have something highly suggestive in an overwhelmingly large quantity, that also stretches imagination, and if this presents an average in terms of the rolls, there are grounds for a second runoff.
It is an image of the Democratic Poll Book so it is safe to say that that it does show that these individuals voted in the Democrat primary on 6/3. That's what the book is for, after all. At this point, it doesn't really matter who they voted for on 6/24; their vote was illegally cast. Now, they may have cast that illegal vote for McDaniel but if you're going to go to the trouble of voting illegally is it likely that you vote for the good guy?
I guess we need some factual input here as to exactly what MS records. As mentioned before, the public records in TN indicate that I (and my wife) have voted in past Rep primaries. I have an app from Beat Lamar! that gives me the name and address of every voter in my precinct who has voted in Rep primary over, I think, the past 8 years.
