A black reverend stiffed by the Cochran campaign has exposed an alleged criminal conspiracy by Cochran staffers to commit massive voter fraud ahead of Tuesday's controversial U.S. Senate Republican runoff election in Mississippi.
Reverend Stevie Fielder, associate pastor at historic First Union Missionary Baptist Church and former official at Meridian's redevelopment agency, says he delivered "hundreds or even thousands," of blacks to the polls after being offer money and being assured by a Cochran campaign operative that Chris McDaniel was a racist. "They [the Cochran campaign] told me to offer blacks fifteen dollars each and to vote for Thad."
It is illegal under several provisions of Mississippi law and federal law for campaign officials to bribe voters with cash and punishable up to five years in jail. (MS Code 97-13-1; MS Code 97-13-3 (2013) (Federal Code 18 U.S.C. 597, U.S.C. 1973i(c)) Voter fraud schemes are not unusual for Mississippi. In 1999 Mississippi's attorney general reported massive voter fraud allegations throughout the Palmetto state. In 2011, a Mississippi NAACP leader was sent to prison for voter fraud, according to the Daily Caller.
It would seem that laws were broken here, too. At the direction of the Cochran campaign, Reverend Fielder went "door to door, different places, mostly impoverished neighborhoods, to the housing authorities and stuff like that," telling fellow blacks that McDaniel was a racist and promising them $15 per vote. "They sold me on the fact that he was a racist and that the right thing to do was to keep him out of office," Fielder says.
Text messages released to Got News and a recorded interview with Reverend Fielder confirmed that Saleem Baird, a staffer with the Cochran campaign and current legislative aide to U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, and Cochran campaign manager, Kirk Sims, were involved in a $15 per vote cash bribery scheme to target members of the black community.
"They said they needed black votes," said the Reverend Fielder on the phone. He says Baird told him to put "give the fifteen dollars in each envelope to people as they go in and vote. You know, not right outside of the polling place but he would actually recruit people with the $15 dollars and they would go in and vote." Fielder said he received thousands of dollars in envelopes from Baird and distributed them accordingly. Fielder also says he went to the campaign office on another occasion to pick up $300 in cash and was among a room full of people who were doing the same thing he was.

Excellent notion.
“How is it stupid?”
He’s on audio explaining how it all worked - numbers, dollar amounts, details. If he’s telling the truth, he’s made his own indictment a walk in the park.
We’ll see what happens.

I’ll agree on monumentally stupid, and be thankful that he is.
“I checked Drudge and none of this is making headlines. Wonder why Drudge isn’t reporting on this.....”
No mention from Rush either.
I miss Mr. Breitbart every day.
All over Hobby Lobby. Which is fine. I guess some people need it explained. Sometimes I can listen to more than five minutes at a time. I a trying today.
Look for a certain pastor with some pertinent info to suddenly disappear.
Snitches get stitches...and end up in ditches.
The left is more than capable, a la Arkancide.
What will that achieve?
More yakety yak and Tea party burning, with no action?
Waste of time.
Throw them out.
Yea the guilt over this election fraud will be to great for the pastor.
He will be found with 2 bullet holes in the back of his head, it will be ruled suicide.
Some one needs to get on the phone and call Rush’s show...we need to hear from Rush on this.
May have to wait for 6 pm Eastern time.
Yep.
The article referred to Mississippi as the Palmetto State which is incorrect. It is the Magnolia State.
If that keeps up, SC is going to have to fall back to the “Iodine State.”
Link only. Cochran campaign claiming Fielder paid for “get out the vote” work only.
No mention of the texts and envelopes huh?
Reminds me of the saying, Who you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?
100% of the comments looks anti-Cochran. Dissent is spreading!
