Though if the votes are concentrated in precincts that go almost entirely for Cochran one can be sure that a solid majority of the votes went for Cochran, and, if there is enough of this, be sure that McDaniel in fact won.
If the lion’s share of illegal votes are found in districts Cochran won decisively, watch for numerous voters who voted illegally to claim they voted for McDaniel. Who could prove they were lying?
Cochran undermined his authority, his integrity, and his reputation with this sleazy stunt, as did Barbour and others who aided and abetted him. He also alienated the conservative base of the GOP which would have helped him if he had won fair and square. Now he’s stirred up a nest of angry bees with the true believers.
