Election Drama Continues 1 Week After Republican Runoff (3300 FRAUDULENT VOTES SO FAR!!!)
WJTV ^ | 7/1/2014 | Donesha Aldridge

ACKSON, Miss. - The runoff in the U.S. Senate primary between Thad Cochran and Chris McDaniel may be over, but the drama is reaching a fever pitch one week after ballots were cast across Mississippi.

Deputies from the Hinds County Sheriff's Department are outside of GOP headquarters in Jackson today, while Republican leaders meet to talk about voting irregularities as claimed by the McDaniel campaign. We are told deputies are checking the identification of anyone wishing to enter the building.

In addition, State Senator Michael Watson tells WJTV News Channel 12 that the McDaniel camp has found 3,300 "irregular votes" from last Tuesday's election.

Supporters of Chris McDaniel contend that democrats not eligible to vote in the GOP primary, cast ballots in support of Senator Cochran.

In addition, a YouTube video surfaced Monday evening where a Meridian man claimed the Cochran campaign paid for votes. It is a claim that the Cochran camp strenuously denies. Now, WJTV has learned that the Cochran campaign is considering a lawsuit against the man. We will continue to cover this story and have much more on today's developments coming up on WJTV News Channel 12 at 5:00 and 6:00. You can also watch for continuous news coverage on both the WJTV Facebook and Twitter pages, as well as wjtv.com.

all heck will break loose if Cochran resigns and the party does not appoint McDaniel as the replacement.

Then that's what they'll do. ;)

I'm not sure of anything anymore.

I seem to recall during the Coleman / Franken race, there were things that Coleman was told had to wait until the court challenge, and then in the court challenge he was told there were things that should have been done before certifying.

I think they all make it up as they go, deciding whatever best suits their needs at the time. That's why McDaniel needs to be very sure that he's doing everything possible now before the run-off is certified, including verifying what is no longer possible after certifying, and if possible to delay certification if he's being denied access to documents that he needs to see now.

Hard drives have a way of crashing between now and a court hearing, and ballots are going to start being printed.

MS GOP Executive Committee meets with heightened security

“Irregularities in every county, so we’ve covered 38 counties now, said
State Senator Michael Watson. “We have what we think is evidence of roughly
3300 plus or minus a few more irregularities in those counties. We’ve not
yet touched the Delta, we’ve not yet touched the absentee ballots.”

Me, too. This botched primary run upset the plan and they are now improvising.

Before, they probably could have kept Cochran in the background to cruise through to reelection. Not now. Cochran won't stand a chance against a serious Democrat challenger, so they need to swap him out now.

the voting system in this country stinks. paper ballots with your number on it so you can verify your vote. something about casting.

However, if Cochran resigns due to senility and not election illegalities, then the state GOP can appoint a replacement candidate.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that also a criteria for acceptance of a write in candidate's votes?

If Cochran resigns, does MISSISSIPPI law not prohibit a substitute candidate who did not register candidacy by 3/1/14? That would make McDaniel the nominee even if a new special primary were ordered, would it not?

Next up: Pat Roberts of Kansas and LAMAR!!! Alexander of Tennessee.

When the last primary is done, we can decide who to get rid of in the general election. I nominate Mitchie McTurtle who is in deep poll trouble in Kentucky.

When it is, McDaniel is free to launch a legal challenge.

Thanks for the clarification.

When thinking about such things, you have to consider the laws of unintended consequences. If a specific ballot can be assigned to a specific person, then the secrecy of the ballot has been destroyed. One consequence of this destruction is that it actually aids some types of fraud, like vote-buying, because if you can know how a person voted, rather than just taking their word for it, someone whose vote is bought, will stay bought.

Personally, if someone ever offered me money to vote for a candidate, I'd readily take the money, then vote for the other guy.

very true but with computers i think your vote is numbered and recorded. they know who you voted for. Here in philly you (used to) get a number assigned and it was verbal but you knew the number and if you wanted to you could go back and verify how the old machine recorded the vote no one else got the number.

In my precinct in Texas, you sign in, they validate which ballot you should use and you pick your individual ballot at random from a bunch fanned out on the table.
