Sure Cockran won but did he win fair and square?
Sure he got the most votes but were the votes legally cast?
I didn’t like the idea of open primaries when the idea was first put forward and I think it should be obvious now to any observer why they are a bad idea.
Cochran did not win.
Vote: a collective expression of will as inferred from a number of votes:
There was no expression of will in the votes that were bought except the will to make %15. The dead who voted sure weren’t expressing their will. The only people who cast LEGITIMATE votes, votes that were intended to express THEIR will for THEIR candidate were the legal votes of people who knew who was running and picked the one they wanted to represent them.
