A black reverend stiffed by the Cochran campaign has exposed an alleged criminal conspiracy by Cochran staffers to commit massive voter fraud ahead of Tuesday's controversial U.S. Senate Republican runoff election in Mississippi.
Reverend Stevie Fielder, associate pastor at historic First Union Missionary Baptist Church and former official at Meridian's redevelopment agency, says he delivered "hundreds or even thousands," of blacks to the polls after being offer money and being assured by a Cochran campaign operative that Chris McDaniel was a racist. "They [the Cochran campaign] told me to offer blacks fifteen dollars each and to vote for Thad."
It is illegal under several provisions of Mississippi law and federal law for campaign officials to bribe voters with cash and punishable up to five years in jail. (MS Code 97-13-1; MS Code 97-13-3 (2013) (Federal Code 18 U.S.C. 597, U.S.C. 1973i(c)) Voter fraud schemes are not unusual for Mississippi. In 1999 Mississippi's attorney general reported massive voter fraud allegations throughout the Palmetto state. In 2011, a Mississippi NAACP leader was sent to prison for voter fraud, according to the Daily Caller.
It would seem that laws were broken here, too. At the direction of the Cochran campaign, Reverend Fielder went "door to door, different places, mostly impoverished neighborhoods, to the housing authorities and stuff like that," telling fellow blacks that McDaniel was a racist and promising them $15 per vote. "They sold me on the fact that he was a racist and that the right thing to do was to keep him out of office," Fielder says.
Text messages released to Got News and a recorded interview with Reverend Fielder confirmed that Saleem Baird, a staffer with the Cochran campaign and current legislative aide to U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, and Cochran campaign manager, Kirk Sims, were involved in a $15 per vote cash bribery scheme to target members of the black community.
"They said they needed black votes," said the Reverend Fielder on the phone. He says Baird told him to put "give the fifteen dollars in each envelope to people as they go in and vote. You know, not right outside of the polling place but he would actually recruit people with the $15 dollars and they would go in and vote." Fielder said he received thousands of dollars in envelopes from Baird and distributed them accordingly. Fielder also says he went to the campaign office on another occasion to pick up $300 in cash and was among a room full of people who were doing the same thing he was.

Thanks for posting that!
Helps those with the “who’s this guy, he’s a n00b...”
Oops, must have left something out— I’ll go grab it
that was the establishment’s talking points. “we must unite blah blah blah pander pander pander conservative”
Thanks. Added Wayne D to my Twitter feed.
You, me and Dupree...
That's all they understand is what letter is next to someone's name.
Eric Holder will get to the bottom of this!!....right after he finishes with IRS targeting, Curbing Executive Power, and Protecting our Constitution.
[No surprise that voter fraud occurred in MS. We all know that. What is surprising is that people are coming forward with proof.
I posted in an earlier thread, before this news broke that this would not end well for Cochran, the Barbour clan and any MS politician or GOP
official who supported Cochran.
Looks like the beginning of the end has begun for this bunch.]
But look at who’s in charge of the injustice dept.
Nope. I don’t play that game anymore. I vote for people who are the closest to what I believe in. I don’t care anymore about parties. The stinking so called Republican Party is just as liberal and dirty as the stinking DimoCommies. No difference. I skip a lot of names on ballots these days. If there is no one in the race to vote for, I skip that one and move on. I did not vote for Obama and I did not vote for Romney. I saw them both as the same. I refuse to vote for the so called lesser of two evils any more. Evil is evil is evil, thus no more votes for evil. Simple as that. People can yell at me about it, but whatever. I don’t anymore. That simple.
Nobody’s going to yell, but you might listen to the One who “Never cried out in the streets.” Who said “Why do you call Me [viewing Me as some mere human teacher] Good? Only God is good.”
Voting is a complex act, and even the most virtuous sounding souls can have horrible demons and skeletons in their closets today. The vote that matters by far the most is the vote for God and against the incorporeal Satan in your heart. Against that difference, the difference between Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama pales to something small.
Good! I hope more people adopt that attitude. We got here by playing the no matter what/lesser evil game. And we will keep going left until we stop.
Let the lib loving GOPers squirm and scream. Let them impotently ‘question our patriotism’. It time to tell them all, in DC and on FR to STFU, sit down and cry to each other. The rest of us are doing what we all should have in the first place.
Voting for people WORTH voting for. Third party/write in/whatever. They can join us or pound salt.
How does one do a do-over in that situation?
One could either answer no, politics did not get you there.
Or perhaps yes, politics DID get you there.
It is the aspect of turning your back on God that got you there. Whether politics or something else was permitted to serve as the distraction while that happened.
Let’s just see what happens..before we pat our backs and congrats each other here........
That would require an ounce of integrity...
Yes, we shall see.
However, payback will come to the MS politicians who supported
the despicable, corrupt Cochan and the MS GOP officials.
What form it takes and when it comes remains to be seen.
But it will come.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
In fact, Pete Perry, the Hinds County Fraud Chairman was recently
arrested for DUI(Last Weekend)
That's an apt analogy.
We shall see what we shall see....
I don’t think the minister needs to worry about Mississippicide unless the dems get nervous about it coming back to bite them. Even still, they would just blame the disappearance on the evil republicans.
If the GOP elites/establishment do anything to make this minister disappear, the TEA party won’t be the only group cited for racism. Holder will come down and make Mississippi republicans disappear into federal prison faster than you can say Barak Obama.
I honestly believe the GOPe tried to get too cute with this one. They went to bed with a viper and came up bitten. I would not be one bit surprised if this was a win-win set up of the GOPe by the dems. It could be that the backstabbing GOPe were themselves stabbed in the back by the dems.
It could also be that the dems are more familiar with handling their black slave voters but didn’t warn the GOPe not to be slow with payment. They knew this could happen but they conveniently forgot to warn the GOPe.
