JACKSON, Miss. — Special Judge Hollis McGehee has dismissed an election challenge filed by Chris McDaniel according to WDAM-TV.
The decision ends a battle between the two since McDaniel’s June special election loss.
Cochran’s attorneys asserted McDaniel should have filed his challenge within 20 days but waited until August 4.
McDaniel alleged voter fraud in the election.
Ditch Mitch too.
If I were a Tea Partier in Mississippi, I could never vote for someone who called me a Klansman. I would write in Mickey Mouse.
Well, well, if I lived in MS, I’d dang sure be voting for the RAT. It wouldn’t matter if I had to hold my nose, because that’s exactly what I’d have to do to vote for the Cockroach.
Is the judge a relative of Boss Hog Barbour, too? Cochran’s daughter-in-law, who kept the poll books, wouldn’t turn them over, so that may have been why he was late in filing the suit. I hope Cochran loses big. That senile old goat doesn’t deserve his hefty salary for stealing the election with Black Democrat help.
That's not a bad thing.

This is a state court decision. Wasn’t there a filing in Federal court also??
It’s all done to get Barbour’s progeny in. Without Cochran being the stand-in, the Prince Barbour would have had a hard time in the primary.
Republican voters tend to not like legacies in and of themselves. The Establishment loves them though.
Not by McDaniel. The federal lawsuit was brought by True the Vote, and they are asking only for access to the poll records, not to overturn the election results, so the federal judge slow-tracked their case.
If this is final, I call on all conservatives in the state to write in McDaniel during the election. Yes it will cause the Dem to win and yes it will not succeed in getting McDaniel into office.
I WILL show the GOPe why they lost and by what margin.
An earlier thread if anyone is interested in reading the comments thereon:
MS judge throws out Chris McDaniel’s lawsuit against election result,
says he missed deadline

Judge Hollis McGehee agreed with the Cochran campaign’s contention that under a 1959
state Supreme Court ruling, there is a 20-day deadline to file an election challenge.
By contrast, McDaniel filed his challenge 41 days after after the June 24 Republican
primary runoff, which Cochran won by about 7,000 votes.

Does anything ever go right for the good guys? I cannot remember the last time we won a big one. You know, a real game changer. On any front-—Immigration, Obamacare, terrorism, you name it, the bad guys always win. And even when they appear to have lost, they always pull something outta their asses to save their asses. And they are so brazen and unapologetic about it. We simply do not have the weapons or the will to carry the fight at their level. Conservatives are just so ill-equipped and limp-wristed. It’s so f*****g demoralizing.
I kept wondering why McDaniel was taking so long to file an appeal. He should have followed the 20-day limit even if he didn’t have all the data that he needed.
To answer your question, all I can think of is the failure of liberal Howard Henry Baker, Jr.,’s illegal 2.5 year extension in 1979 to get ratification for the popular ERA. But even then feminists still got ERA in practicality just not in that form.
McDaniel write-in votes won’t be tabulated no matter how many there are; one must be an official write-in candidate in MS (and TX too for that matter).
Where did you get this idea? You muist have missed that 70 percent of TX Republican primary voters n March 4 voted to jump start the career of George P. Bush, a bigger margin than John Cornball received.
The only write-in votes tabulated are for “official” write-in candidates.
