Mississippi Update: McDaniel Not Going Down Without A Fight
conservativehq.com ^ | 7/9/14

Posted on 07/10/2014 5:36:51 AM PDT by cotton1706

Last month, true conservatives won a huge victory in Virginia when Dave Brat ousted House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in one of the biggest upsets in political history. Conservatives in Virginia sent a clear message that Americans are tired of entrenched incumbents that bend to the will of President Obama.

Two weeks after Virginia’s primary, conservatives nationwide were robbed of a similar victory in Mississippi at the hands of well-funded liberal interest groups and even a Republican Super PAC who used leftist tactics to drive Democrat voters illegally to vote in a Republican primary runoff.

Thad Cochran's campaign used the race-baiting tactics of the Left to steal the runoff election by soliciting illegal votes from liberal Democrats.

But as Chris McDaniel told supporters in a recent email update, the Republican establishment overplayed their hand. McDaniel’s campaign team has uncovered evidence of voter fraud in Mississippi, and McDaniel is challenging the results of the election.

McDaniel has already found thousands of irregularities in the voting process. According to Mississippi state law, Democrats who voted in the Democratic primary cannot vote in the Republican runoff, and that is exactly what happened.

In our view the runoff election was a sham, plain and simple. Across the state, Democrats voted in the Republican primary to make sure that Thad Cochran could return to Washington to keep pushing for reckless spending.

According to campaign laws, Chris McDaniel is not allowed to use campaign funds to challenge the ruling of the election. That means that even if you contributed before, McDaniel cannot use that money as part of the legal challenge.

She’s afraid some of her RINO friends might get in trouble.

"but don't hold me to that"

Good idea. The McDaniel campaign can make claims all day long but they do not have the authority to determine what is and what isn't a fraudulent vote.

True the Vote filed their lawsuit on July 1 in the Miss Northern District Ct. That judge threw their case out of his court on Tues July 8 and TTV refiled their case yesterday(9th) in the Southern District Court.

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but instead of reading articles from Conservative HQ, Breibart, and Charles C. Johnson, you need to read the Miss. media.

I'm thinking that the only recourse Chris might end up with is running as a write-in or an Independent if he fails to have the run-off election overturned and a new Election. That's his recourse.... Now, his revenge could be all of his supporters pay back the favor to the Democrats by voting for Childers in November.

HE WHO DOES NOT LIKE REVENGE HAS NEVER TASTED IT!

That’s why I haven’t been posting much on this issue. I don’t have parade, far from it, other than hoping against hope that somehow McDaniel-and MS conservatives-see justice done in this farce.

And I have read none of the people/writers/etc which you mentioned, I know they don’t have the real “on the ground” info. Neither, however, do I trust MS mainstream media at this point, at least not their spin and editorialising, unless you know of some local conservative outlet which is also realsitic and factual.
