Mississippi has a sore loser law.

McDaniel can run as a happy loser because he knows he can win. Problem solved. Fixed it.
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.
Mississippi election law. Independent candidates for any office have to have filed by March 1, which is the same date as candidates from political parties have to file by in order to run in the primaries. That prevents any candidate who loses a primary from appearing on the ballot as an independent or any other party candidate. The best McDaniel can do is try and whip up a write in effort.
