Sore loser? What are you talking about? Are you not aware of what happened here in Mississippi? Are you not aware that Republicans DID NOT choose Thad Cochran, but voted 60 to 40% for Chris McDaniel? Are you not aware that black Democrats elected Thad Cochran for the nomination?
I am very aware of what happened.
The laws are called ‘sore loser’ to prevent someone who has lost a primary from running in the general election under another party’s platform.
Most states have them. Look up what Mur’cow’ski did in Alaska.
Unlike MS though, many states will ALLOW write candidates to have their votes counted. In MS, write-in’s aren’t counted unless the person who wins the primary DIES after the votes are printed but BEFORE the election.
Didn’t make the rules. Don’t personally like them.
We were going to write in McD. Now we’re dithering on just sitting out that race or voting for Childers. Mainly to prevent Bryant from choosing Cochran’s (liberal, RINO, GOPe) successor in 2 years when he retires. And having to fight THAT useless incumbant for decades henceforth.
Will be much easier to knock off Childers in 6 years than some hand chosen successor.
