The primaries are open primaries, which mean that people can vote in either one of them...but not both. So if these people have voted Dem as well (was there more than one Dem candidate?) then their votes can be disqualified.

So I do think McDaniel should challenge it, since the votes that put Cochrane over the top (not by that much, though) came from the heavily black areas of the state.

If you find one of these people, how do you know who they voted for in the run-off? Do you just believe what they say?

I would love to see statistics, how many registered dems in say Hinds county, subtract how many voted dem primary. The result should be the maximum amount of votes Cochran could pick up from that county.

Of course I’m no math wiz so maybe I’m wrong.
