I read somewhere, twitter I think...that there may be ‘confusion’ as to what the MS law actually means. Something to the effect that voters could not vote for a R or a D in the same election. But since this was a runoff...is that technically the same election?

Don’t know what the out come will be if McDaniel continues to push forward. Isn’t the clock ticking awfully fast toward the general election? Can McDaniel raise enough money at this point to run and effective campaign against the Democrat?

No...I’m not a Thad fan...just wondering about the logistics at this point.

According to a reference at http://ballotpedia.org/Mississippi_elections,_2014 - " Voters do not have to register with a party, but they must intend to support the party nominations if they vote in the primary election."

I consider a runoff as another primary with fewer choices on the ballot, so if you had previously voted in the Democratic primary you cannot subsequently vote in the Republican runoff. However, I am not a judge in Mississippi so you can't take my word for it. /s

I understand that there is time if a court rules in Senator McDaniel’s favor for a September runoff. I don’t know about money, I believe we would find out if the Republican Party and the NRSC are serious about holding the Mississippi Senate seat and taking control of the Senate.
