-- They're only looking in the pile of Cochran votes. --

Well, there is no way to know if the vote went to Cochran or McDaniel. A reasonable assumption is that they are assigned AT LEAST in the same proportion as the total outcome; a majority of them for Cochran. And it isn't much of a stretch to assume that 90% or more of DEMs who crossed over to vote in this runoff were motivated by Cochran's GOTV effort.

At any rate, you need a number of invalid ballots at least as great as the margin of victory, to bring the outcome into question. That amounts to an assumption that 100% of the invalid ballots were cast for Cochran.

Yes - what I mean is that given a vote is fraudulent, one would assume it could be for Cochran. Then since it is fraudulent, it's thrown out - not added to McDaniel's total.
