McInnis alleged in an interview with Breitbart News that Connie Cochran, Sen. Cochran's sister-in-law and the Perry and Hinds County election commissioner, asked local Democrats not to switch the poll books.
“In the state of Mississippi, you have to take steps to prevent crossover voting,” McInnis said. “If you voted Democrat in the Democratic primary, you can't vote in the Republican runoff. The way we protect that is we switch the poll books. Pete Perry and Connie Cochran, who's the chair of the election commission, called us and asked us not to switch the books—which is a clear violation of the law.”
McInnis told Breitbart News he personally witnessed at least one Hinds County precinct—Precinct 16—where the books had not been switched during the runoff day. “I went out to a precinct to make sure the laws were being followed, and I got there at about 4 o'clock p.m.,” McInnis said. “They had not switched the books, under the influence of the young Republican and Democratic workers there. I demanded that they switch these books immediately. The Democratic poll manager there switched the books at 4 o'clock that evening.

What is meant by “switching the books”?

Statewide, state Democratic Chairman Rickey Cole told Breitbart News, "It is very conceivable--it is highly conceivable" that McDaniel and his team "will find a number of irregularities that will reach 6,700 or greater.... Cole said if McDaniel finds at least 6,700 Democrats who voted in the Democrat primary three weeks ago and the GOP runoff on Tuesday, a Mississippi court could actually demand a new election.
"You don't have to prove who they voted for," Cole said. "You just have to prove there were that many ineligible ballots. That puts the intent of the voting public in doubt, and that's the path by which a court would order a new election.
Good news. It ain't over.

If Barbour & Co are starting to realise that they messed in their own nest, they themselves may pull a few strings behind the scenes to get a “re-do”.
