It’s an open primary. The Tea Party candidate had the same option of reaching out to people who don’t typically vote in the Republican primary and he didn’t (surprise!). Cochran found a majority fair and square.
AND, McDaniel had been a state legislator.
Why didn’t he do something to change from an open primary when he had a chance?
In all fairness it his hard for a neo-confederate to reach out to black folks. So I guess it was not fair for Cochran to exploit that weakness. Here is the only math the Republican party is trying to do these days.
Blacks + Hispanics + Gay People + Working Women + Single Mothers + working poor + college students = WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION!!
McDaniel is claiming that thousands of voters voted in the Democratic primary three weeks ago and then voted in the GOP runoff. That is illegal. There was no statewide Democratic primary but no doubt there were scores of local races for Dems to vote in.
If McDaniel can prove that the number of voters voting illegally exceeded his loss margin, he might have a genuine legal challenge.
Oh the irony on the 50th Anniversary of the Freedom Summer that voters of color turn out to vote for a Republican candidate in Mississippi who is not a neo-confederate. McDaniel got what he deserved now he is crying foul. Sore loser.
I expect that there will be some cussin’ and fussin’ behind closed doors for the next few months. If we are lucky we’ll hear about some fist fights, and possibly even some debates about legalizing DUELING! (Junior is fer’ it)>
McDaniel’s zealous band of Tea Partier’s turned out in maximum numbers on June 3. He had no reserve to draw on and his band of Republicanism had no message to draw a more thoughtful group of Miss. voters, whether Pub or Dem in the run-off.
The simple fact is: Tea Party candidates draw maximum voter attention and maximum turnout of like minded Republicans. They are passionate if not organized. They simply don’t constitute a majority of Republican/Swing Voter/ Leaning Republican voters. Not enough voters are “mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore,” and don’t wear tri-fold hats.
Hell, it’s Math, not rocket science.
How’s that voting ID law working Tea Party?
