McDaniel's Lawyer: We Have Enough Evidence To Launch Official Election Challenge

The lawyer for state Sen. Chris McDaniel announced at a press conference on Wednesday afternoon in Jackson, MS, that he has enough evidence to file for an official challenge of the election results, and will do so in the coming days. “The million dollar question: What did we find? We found a lot,” Mitch Tyner, of Tyner Law Firm, said after he and McDaniel supporter state Sen. Michael Watson walked the press and McDaniel supporters at the press conference through how they have serious concerns with the election review process in Mississippi. “We’ve heard it our entire lives in Mississippi,” Tyner said. “Votes are being bought. Ballot boxes are being stuffed. There are false affidavit ballots. There are invalid affidavit ballots. There are invalid absentee ballots—we’ve heard it all our lives. I’m 51 years old and it’s the first time I saw it up close and personal. It exists. We are committed to finding it and rooting it out and stopping it.”

My sense is that McDaniel's team has uncovered more issues than just the invalid crossover votes. Seems there has been some stuffing of ballot boxes, and there may be affidavits swearing to bribery for votes.

I commented to Lurker about the "intend to support the party" law, noting that it swings both ways. What about Cochramn backers who are undercutting McDaniel? What are they going to do in the general? No matter how you cut it, those questions just draw the outcome of the primary contest into more doubt. Same outcome for the election contest, the runoff has to be repeated. New outcome for individuals caught in violation of the law.

My sense is that McDaniel's team has uncovered more issues than just the invalid crossover votes. Seems there has been some stuffing of ballot boxes, and there may be affidavits swearing to bribery for votes.

That's very true and today's press release confirms those very things including many other things. It was announced the McDaniel legal team have more than 10,000 pages of documented fraud.

As to the unforceable 'intent' law, it does not apply to Cochran or McDaniel voters. Had the primary results come out 'clean', there is no violation of law when a republican voter votes in the republican primary and then votes in the republican general regardless of who was specifically voted for in the primary. A republican vote can have every intention of voting for whoever the republican nominee is in the general. The law pertains to the nominee, not the candidates.

The purpose of the 'intention' law was ostensibly designed around rules that made for an 'open' primary. Its aim was to warn voters not to calculate that a primary vote for the weaker opposition candidate would enhance the candidate they truly intended to vote for in their party's general. It's a dumb law.

McDaniel did not speak today.
Why did he not speak?

I don't care to hear about “press releases” by his PR team/lawyers/campaign managers and/or insignificant others.

I don't care about public opinion polls of his entourage's opinions.

Today was the much hyped day McDaniel was supposed to speak.
I couldn't find anything anywhere that he did.
Why did he not speak?

Just answer that one, very clear and simple question.Please.

On that law [No person shall be eligible to participate in any primary election unless he intends to support the nominations made in the primary...], the voter's stated intentions control; but it is not allowed to "qualify" the voter by asking them, so the law is roughly toothless. That law does work, but only to the extent that the voter volunteers the incriminating information.

You're right that that law is unenforceable against individual voters. However, it's obvious that the Cochran campaign made it a core part of their strategy to encourage violation of that law. I would think a court would take a dim view of a campaign that openly urged illegal voting!

That, of course, is in addition to hard evidence that a large number of people who voted in the Democrat primary voted in the Republican runoff, a straight-forward, provable violation of the law, which should have been prevented by the poll workers, I would think.

[cynwoody]

And how many McDaniel voters plan to vote for Cochran in November if he is declared the winner?

I would, if I were voting in Mississippi. I'm tired of Harry Reid as Majority Leader!

Principles have no place in the voting booth. You need to make the best of what you've got, not what you want. It's OK to lurk libertarian, but voting Losertarian, while it may make you feel good, does not advance the agenda.

So let me get this straight. There are 82 counties in MS, and 60 of those counties have cooperated in showing to the McDaniel team the full material of the election with a deputy posted to preserve the integrity of the review, and then there are 20 counties that have on orders from the Barbour gang refused to cooperate thereby preventing McDaniel from completing his review, forcing his lawyers to file 20 emergency writs of Mandamus and setting back their whole time schedule,

and,

amassing more than 10,000 pages of documented fraud, needing to annotate, organize and summarize each incident as well as canvass more than 400,000 votes in hundreds and hundreds of precincts statewide all the while with the Cochran-Barbour gang blocking the review at each opportunity,

and,

suffering the slings and arrows of vile media filth including a series of back stabs by RINO call girl ‘Auschwitz Ann Coulter’

and,

people sit with a computer complaining like some petulant undisciplined Section 8 lazy *ss good-for-nothings while sliding back on easy chairs stuffing their faces with choco goobers preparing for blowing pent-up aliquots of fartrous fartoxide out their backside so potent as to cause cats in the room to make ready to evacuate in a lightning flash to escape airborne chemical asphyxiation,,

and,

in between refills of goober bowls and popcorn making they want to know, with a poster of smiling Thad behind them, why why WHY Chris McDaniel didn’t show up today,

and,

ignoring that the McDaniel team have been working like machines around the clock 24/7 in and out of courts with blood shot eyes, family life suspended, shoestring budgets and facing filthy corruption roadblocks every step of the way,

just so they can guarantee these lazy *ss good-for-nothings a free country with free clean democratic elections?

Darlin’ tell your friends to put down the goobers and look at the YouTube here:

Not sure where Boss Hog is hiding but, I guarantee you it’s a big room with pizza delivery close by.

That's right but I will say it was not Lurker that was at all close to the MS law, it was the poster he responded to, which is what I think you meant.

What did I say that misstated Missisippi law?

Lurker's question is vacuous. I think it was designed to stir uncertainty in the original poster's assertion. This is why I exhibit a serrated edge with Lurker who professes to be a lawyer, but I think he's more of an imposter.

If you are going to accuse a fellow FReeper of misconduct, it's considered polite to ping him to the post where you do that.

In any event, I have been posting on FR since 1998. Anyone is welcome to read my posting history and decide if it reflects any legal knowledge or if I am an imposter.

[sarasmom]

I asked for an answer to one simple and clear question.

“Why did McDaniel not speak?”

Your long abusive rant did not even attempt to address my question, at all.
It was a simple question, and a very serious one.

If you don't know the answer, just say so.
The accepted short text abbreviation is: IDK.

I'll give you one more chance to answer my simple question.

[Hostage]

My long ‘rant’ was directed at your demanding demeanor. Who do you think I am? Your personal servant?

[Tau Food]

They need to move soon. The longer this kind of claim is delayed, the more likely it is to fail. The world moves on and leaves its dying and dead in the road behind it. Act now.

[Osage Orange]

What does that mean?

[sarasmom]

I think it's now very clear, as to who you are.

But have a nice life!

[Osage Orange]

Personally if I lived there.....I wouldn't vote at all.

I've been bent over too many times by the GOPe....and I'm done.

You can enjoy getting F$%^ed again...I ain't having it anymore.
