Yes I am sure. Federal rulings support both his filing as an independent and campaigning as a write-in. MS would need to make a solid argument of a “state compelling interest” in denying voters the right to elect him and this argument would need to be strong enough to overcome a federal injunction against the state.

But let’s not follow this tact yet because it looks very probable that the McDaniel campaign will get their evidence on a number of fronts to overturn the runoff election and quite possibly get Cochran kicked out altogether.
