Mississippi has a sore loser law.
Can't. Mississippi has a sore loser law.
Prove it by citing the sources. Thank-you!

McDaniel can run as a happy loser because he knows he can win. Problem solved. Fixed it.
This will turn our to be a Pyrrhic victory for them. I hope McDaniel does run as an independent, but only if he wins.
We’re up against billions of dollars of insider money and they’ll do anything to keep the gravy train rolling. How about pushing for closed primary elections as our first reform. This wouldn’t have happened, but for that. So who benefits from open primaries? The GOPe.
Apparently there is a pretty large discrepancy in the voter numbers and if I were McDaniel, I too would contest that election. I smell a big rat in the outcome of that one.
A sore loser law may prevent McDaniels from going any further, but it doesn’t preclude another Conservative from running in the general, picking up where McDaniels left off.
And I can’t imagine that there aren’t more than a few MS Conservatives who would be both viable third party/write in candidates AND are pissed about what happened.
“Or else sap away enough GOP support from any one candidate that the Democrat prevails.”
Murkowski didn’t give a damn about that and look where she is.
A write in campaign CAN win.
Look at the June 3 results here:

(Mississippi results are down the page)
Notice the top vote getter that night was McDaniel. The ENTIRE Democrat slate didn’t get HALF the votes of EITHER Republican.
I don’t think Cochran will get DEMOCRAT votes in the general election, do you?
McDaniel could repeat what he did on June 3 and be the next Senator from Mississippi.
No doubt, Biggirl, is always the best idea.
I also found a PDF that said MS passed the law in 1906. That can be found at www.electionadmin.WISC.edu/bjk.PDF
It is noted in one of the last pages on Table 1, an alphabetical listing of all states with sore loser laws.
I agree with this. Disloyalty and intrigue on the part of Cochran should result in a write-in campaign for McDaniels as a protest. Both will probably lose, but it is the only strategy that makes the establishment pay for their treachery.
Conservatives will vote their conscience with a write-in ballot, and they will not be voting against their principles.
The establishment must pay for treachery.
Write In McDaniels
Thank-you! Bookmarked!
well, i never heard of that one. if so, i guess mcdaniel will have to cool his heels. thanks for the info. i can keep my money.
at least the republocrats can’t force you to vote in ms, can they? if that freedom is still left in ms, i hope conservatives stay home in protest. of course, they’ll probably fix that loophole soon, too. welcome to tyranny.
Alaska also has a sore loser law. It’s why Lisa Murkowski, the GOPe candidate, staged a write-in campaign to keep her seat.
I hate that they have it. You’re welcome.
wait. so mcdaniel can stage a write-in then?
Yes.
His supporters were chanting it last night.
Mur’cow’ski here we come!
