As many have pointed out, you cannot be a write-in candidate in Mississippi.
The only thing that can be done in this race is to have a judge overturn the result because of the vote-buying
Overturned because of illegal vote buying may be McDaniel’s best strategy.
Kevin Collins almost never responds to a comment on his articles.
He just post for hits and runs along and apparently isn’t interested
in what the code provides for in MS.
Indeed there is a law in MS but it does not prohibit write-in candidates. Anyone can be a write-in candidate as long as they have not run previously in the primary for an established party.
So on its face it looks like McDaniel cannot run as a write-in. But that would be wrong to think because federal court case law does not support MS state law in regards to candidates seeking federal office. So according to federal rulings which trump state law, McDaniel can run as a write-in.
But I don’t think it will be necessary.
His campaign is doing a fine job of uncovering the fraud in MS. And it’s not just the buying of votes but something much more verifiable and solid on its face.
It is the state election commissioner who happens to be the sister-in-law of Haley Barbour that failed as was required to provide the democrat poll books for the runoff verification in the hundreds and hundreds of precincts throughout MS. This is the huge part of the entire scandal and will result in finding more than 6700 fraudulent votes to overturn the runoff election.
Or as the scandal becomes more well known, it to be imporssible for anyone but McDaniels to be the nominee.
Going the path of challenging the results and exposing the fraud is the path that will win constitutional conservatives the day. The ripple effect could be incredible....NO MORE ptb 'pubs turning their claws on elements of their own party. We need to make it very clear that we will not vote for anyone who supports or is even silent about this outrage.
Can you point to the MS statute that says you can’t be a write in candidate in MS?
