My understanding is that the write in line is reserved for a circumstance when any one of the named candidates is unavailable for non-political reasons. If the GOP nominee dies, then a GOP candidate's name can be written in that line, etc.
So, a primary loser could well become the party's preferred candidate.
But, if Childers becomes unavailable for non political reasons, I don't think a vote for a GOP primary loser is counted, if written in.
Thank you! I’d read of book-switching, but wasn’t clear on it until right now.
SO: where do we go from here? I admit impatience, every day this goes on is another day for people to get paid to clam up and go on an island vacation.
What is the next step? thank you again.
RUSH JUST ANNOUNCED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE IS GOING TO DISCUSS TOMORROW THIS VOTE BUYING SCANDAL!!!
YES!!!!!
I predicted he’d lead with it, was only off by three hours :)
Link only. Cochran campaign claiming Fielder paid for “get out the vote” work only.
People over at the Rush thread haven’t noticed yet.
I imagine the McDaniel campaign and its supporters and volunteers are working around the clock to uncover all the ballots that were illegally cast in hundreds of precincts.
I imagine they are going to do a thorough job because they want the case closed with no possibility of spin.
The next step is for them to come up with more than 6700 illegally cast votes and request the state elections director or State Secretary of State to overturn the runoff election. If that is not forthcoming I expect them to file n state court to overturn the election.
If McDaniel is thwarted legally, he should concede and endorse the most honest, ethical, and conservative in the race-THE DEMOCRAT!
Can you point to the MS statute that says you can’t be a write in candidate in MS?
And what does the code provide for in MS?
And what does the code provide for in MS?

I’m not going back and dig thru the code but you can. Essentially all candidates have
to file by a certain date be it a party or write in candidate. The other option
for write in is if one of the filed candidates dies before the election then a write can
be made in that case.
Thank you for the info and taking the time to respond.
