Normally I might agree he should just conceded but there’s too much at stake here. It’s not about November, it’s about stopping the establishment from cheating their own party out of an election. If he just accepts it and moves on, there will only be more of this kind of thing as it will be considered a winning strategy.
So he files a lawsuit and says...
The vague statute on the MS books says they ‘should’ vote for the party in the general they vote for in the primary.
How can he prove who ANYONE voted for when voting is confidential?
How can he prove who they WILL vote for in the general election?
It’s a total loser of a case.
The only wins would be people who ON RECORD in the first election voted in the Dem primary instead who then were allowed, contrary to law, to vote for the Republican this time around.
Is that 5,000 people?
I seriously doubt it.
Filing and losing KILLS his future statewide office chances.
Go ask Woody Jenkins how that went down in Louisiana. He never won another race after having had a U.S. Senate seat stolen from him in New Orleans. The precincts there voted hours after poling had closed (”People were in line”) and turned in their votes an hour or two after the rest of the entire state. Was a pure steal.
He sued. Lost. Was forever branded a ‘sore loser’ and never won a statewide race. Career killer.
