Ah, so that’s how it is supposed to work. If your name pops up on the 6/3 column they refuse a ballot because otherwise if your name was in the other book or omitted from both then it’d be a legal vote.
Pretty low tech and simple way to do it. No wonder Cochran didn’t want them to flip the books. It would have made counting the illegal double votes from Dems as simple as adding names up. Otherwise you’d have to go page by page, book by book.
Yep, they got caught with their pants down.
And not just figuratively...Cochran has/had a mistress while his wife was confined to a hospital bed.
He apparently emulates dems as well as buying their votes to defeat Conservative Tea Party type Constitutional Republic supporters.
