After last night's defiant not-a-concession speech, the Tea Party's Chris McDaniel doesn't seem willing to let his Mississippi Senate seat dreams go. If he does decide to go the legal route, he'll likely start with Hinds County, the majority black county where Cochran gained thousands of votes.
In 24 mostly black counties voter turnout increased by 39.4 percent, but none of those counties gave Sen. Thad Cochran as many votes as Hinds, which is 69.8 percent black. There, voter turnout increased by 49.57 percent according to the Clarion Ledger's Sam Hall.
But in the chart above you can see that Hinds is an outlier, the same way DeSoto County (73.4 percent white) is for McDaniel. Given Sen. Cochran's outreach to the black and heavily Democratic community, and McDaniel's complaint about "a Republican primary that's decided by liberal Democrats," he'll likely start there.

Is Hinds County Election Commissioner Connie Cochran related to Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran?
If so, that’s the precise scenario of Clark County, Nevada, which resulted in the re-election of Senator Harry Reid.
That’s his sister-in-law.
Wait, so this pedophile won? I mean if we are going to start lying let’s do it the democratic way.
All those blacks who voted for Thad will be voting for him in November, right?
According to online accounts, Connie Cochran is married to the brother of Senator Thad Cochran!!
Connie Connie was also the last person to leave the Hinds County courthouse, on the same night Janis Lane was found locked in there!
I was trying to see who paid for this *flyer*... but the writing is too small. Something/someone for Misssissippi.
So classy....they even found a Civil Rights march pic to use.
“Frankly, I’ve never understood why anyone in Mississippi would vote against Cochran. If the Republicans retake the senate, he will be the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee. Voters in the other 49 states would give their left nut to have one of their senators in the same position.”
I voted against Cochran because he isn’t conservative. I voted against him because of his big spending. We don’t need any more federal money in Mississippi. Government money is the sugar tit that keeps poor blacks subjugated. I voted against him because he’s an immoral man openly dishonoring his sick wife. I voted against Cochran because he has done NOTHING to take the fight to the Obama Administration or liberals generally.
For people who hold to conservative principles, the list of reasons to oppose Thad is very long.
And even if he were to prove that voter fraud took place, would that change the outcome of the election?
“Frankly, I’ve never understood why anyone in Mississippi would vote against Cochran. If the Republicans retake the senate, he will be the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee.”
I suppose if a person is motivated by favoring a politician who “brings home the bacon”, even though 40% of the cost of the bacon has to be borrowed from China (and the rest of the cost has to be confiscated from American taxpayers), and that person is not concerned with a $17 trillion deficit, then by all means Cochran might be your guy.
I have a hard time believing Cochran can win a fraud lawsuit. Hinds County may have a lot of blacks, but, in sheer numbers, it does have a lot of Republicans.
2012 Senate race - Hinds County - 67,329 for Gore (D) vs. 31,183 for Wicker (R).
2008 Senate race - Hinds County - 65,157 for Fleming (D) vs. 39,431 for Cochran (R).
About 25K folks from Hinds County voted Tuesday. Certainly less than the 39K from there who voted for Cochran six years ago.
Familiar names and business as usual. “We’re #1!”

A more definitive breakdown would require precinct-by-precinct totals within Hinds County, particularly where racial minorities make up a majority of voters.
I’ll be that’s where the true story can be told.
Same here.
To stack the ballot box with phony votes, to discard votes, to intimidated voters is to seek dominion over freemen. It is a tool of totalitarians throughout modern history. To participate in voter fraud is to proclaim oneself a tyrant's tool who seeks advantage not through persuasion but through raw power be it from the barrel of a gun or by means of unjust laws enforced by the gun.
It strips the freeman of peaceable means by which to decide how much personal treasure to volunteer for the common good, burdens him with regulations, and puts his body and soul at risk as well as those of his family.
Voter fraud is the means of enslavement period.
Cochran ran as a Democrat...
It’s the old, “If it quacks like a duck”... thing.
All the states in this study, except for Pennsylvania and Illinois, can be considered republican dominated. Plus, New Jersey is no where on that list of ten most corrupt. There is obviously a mistake somewhere.
Directly to the people during a write in campaign.
An article said there were about 20 thousand registered republicans in Hinds county, yet about 25 thousand voted in the run off. That means that 125% of the registered republicans voted under your scenario. Seems a bit like Philadelphia voting percentages. All they needed to add were the Black Panthers standing out in front of the polls.
Certainly this was the case of democrats voting in this run off. They can go back and find out if any of those democrats also voted in the democrat primary originally. That would be fraud.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
