With these results so very close, could votes get thrown out that were ‘provisional’ and those voters do NOT supply the affidavit needed as described above?
IF Cochran voters did this type of voting & they don’t do the necessary follow-up, could it swing the results to McDaniel before the run-off is required???
Just asking.........There is only a 1386 vote difference, and how many ‘provisional’ votes did Cochran get???
I have no idea about the affidavite ballots. But I’d think there wouldn’t be a lot of them.
I don’t think the affidavit ballots are even counted until an acceptable ID is
provided on or before June 10, 2014. Then and only then is it counted is my reading.

June 10, 2014: Deadline for voters who did not present acceptable photo identification for the 2014 Primary Election, who had to cast an affidavit ballot, to submit acceptable photo identification to the Circuit Clerk’s Office for their ballot to be counted. (MS Const. §249-A-(2)(c))
