Chris McDaniel claims to have found 1000+ invalid votes so far.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/06/27/1310080/-Chris-McDaniel-claims-staff-found-more-than-1000-invalid-votes-so-far

"The Tea Party-backed candidate refusing to concede defeat to Republican U.S. Senator Thad Cochran in Mississippi's primary runoff said his campaign has found more than 1,000 instances of ballots cast by people who were ineligible to vote. [...]

"We've already found more than 1,000 examples of that in one county alone," McDaniel said in an interview Thursday night on Fox News' Hannity show. "We're talking about widespread irregularities, ineligible voters that should not have been there in the first place.""

Wasn't this crossover law enacted to allow rethugs to fudge African American voting blocks? It works both ways skippy.

Someone needs to explain to the right wing clown that he doesn't get to decide what votes are ineligible.

But if the two right wing republicans want to battle each other, I'm all for it. Let the games continue...

I think those are the irregularities McDaniel is referring to.

He claims that Democratic voters that already filed a ballot in the Democratic primary went and voted AGAIN in the Republican runoff. That's against the law. Once you voted in the Dem primary you're done.

The problem as described by the elections official in the county he's talking about is the workers went through those records and marked that each Dem that voted June 3 also voted on Tuesday. They thought that was the proper procedure, which it wasn't. They were halted part way through the process.

hopefully enough tea partying nut cakes in MS will sit this one out and help the Dem win an unexpected victory.
