What I .ave read indicates that write ins are prohibited for federal elections in Mississippi.

Your statement that state law is nit important is just balderdash. State law stands until overturned. The Mississippi law has not been overturned and therefor stands. It is important in that it requires legal action in order to do what McDaniel needs to do.

You keep tossing lots of confetti around, but the fact remains Mississippi does not allow McDaniel to run a write in campaign.

There are a lot of state laws on the books that have already been invalidated by federal courts or that are not recognized in the context that the state thinks they should be interpreted.

The Mississippi law can stand but it will not apply to McDaniel once his lawyers file for injunctive relief in federal court. The federal courts have already ruled several times for similar cases in the past. They will grant the relief and they will do so while the parties are scheduled to be heard. McDaniel will be able to proceed unless the state of MS motions that he should be stopped and the relief denied.

What argument do you think the state of MS will use to deny relief to McDaniel? What’s their argument going to be?
