DESPERATE: Cochran literally begs Democrats to vote for him over Tea Party’s McDaniel in runoff

LOL. Wow, they are getting desperate!

MISSISSIPPI, June 21, 2014– Only a few short weeks ago, U.S. Senator Thad Cochran (R- Miss.) was forced into a runoff by Tea Party endorsed Mississippi State Senator Chris McDaniel (R). Three days from now, Mississippi voters will again return to the polls in order to choose their next U.S. Senator. Feeling the heat, the Cochran campaign has resorted to begging Democrats to “crossover” in order to save Cochran’s seat.

I can't imagine that law surviving a court challenge, but with this SCOTUS, you never know.

The law is still on the books but can only be enforced if a voter literally states he won't support the nominee if he is asked when casting his ballot. Pretty much guts the law.
