McDaniel got more votes than Cochran in the primary. Cochran ‘won’ the run-off by appealing to black Dem voters. He—rather, the Barbours—convinced these poor people that if McDaniel won they would see their rights and other benefits abolished.
“Another reported anti-McDaniel flier claimed that the “tea party intends to prevent blacks from voting” and accused McDaniel of racist comments and a voting history at odds with black voters.”
