Chris McDaniel to Challenge Election Results - Breitbart, 24 June 2014
There were 24,889 votes cast in Hinds County in the runoff--17,927 were for Cochran and 6,962 were for McDaniel--but only 20,567 Republican voters are listed in Hinds County, according to the well-known Labels and Lists Voter Data Base. The extraordinarily high turnout in Hinds County is much more than what happened in Hinds County in the primary just a few weeks ago, when 16,640 total votes were cast--10,928 for Cochran and 5,621 for McDaniel.
So, if Cochran gained 7,000 votes in Hinds County from DEM stimulation, and 1,000 were invalid, one might project one out of seven DEM stimulated votes to be invalid on the same basis. I speculate that a generous projection, because Hinds was a focal point for the gang that is propping up Cochran.
June 3 Primary results:
C. McDaniel 49.5% 155,040
T. Cochran 49.0% 153,654
June 24 Runoff results:
T. Cochran 50.9% 191,508
C. McDaniel 49.1% 184,815
Cochran gained about 37,850 votes, and if 1/7th are invalid, that's about 5,400 total invalid. 5,400 is less than Cochran's margin of victory.
FWIW, I'm sure over 20,000 of the votes are "technically" invalid against an unenforceable Mississippi law, that implies "if you vote in a GOP primary, you have to vote for the GOP candidate in the general." Eligibility to vote in a primary requires an intention to support the party's candidate in the general. Unlike the unenforceable "intend to stick with the party" law, the "can't vote in both parties primary elections" law is enforceable.
Then there’s the possibility that they’re still counting invalid votes in Hinds County....or have they stated that they’ve completed the count?
McDaniel said that "over 1,000" were invalid in Hinds. What he didn't mention was "so far" and "for all reasons", since there is no way that his campaign has, at this point, examined even a small proportion of the voting books. He is likely throwing out "over 1,000" to indicate that it it going to end up as a big number.
Were they able to get access to the Hinds County records, to catch 1,000 fraudulent votes?
Also, somebody was saying that McDaniel only needs to find fraudulent votes to equal 1/2 of the margin of victory. Is that true?
