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?
I don’t care about the state’s argument. I hope they fail. But at the moment, the law stands, as I have said.
RIGHT NOW! Mississippi law will not allow McDaniel to run a write in campaign - or, I think more accurately, will not count any votes cast for him on a write in ballot.
I was right, when I stated this at the start.
