McDaniel campaign: We want a do-over

[WhiteTara]

An attorney for Chris McDaniel, who lost his primary challenge to Republican Senator Thad Cochran in Mississippi last month, claims their campaign has found “thousands” of illegal votes and will demand a new election.

McDaniel attorney Mitch Tyner said Monday in a press conference outside the Hinds County Courthouse that his campaign was finishing a county-by-county review of ballots before making its evidence public and moving forward with a formal challenge to the Mississippi Republican Party. But he said they had found “several thousand that are absolutely ineligible voters” already and that the “correct remedy” was to hold another vote.

“As we’ve gone through this process, we’re surprised at the amount of evidence that continues to come forward that shows us that there has indeed been election fraud in this case,” he said.

McDaniel has refused to concede since Cochran won the June 24 runoff by about 6,700 votes, pledging to contest the results in court.

“We don’t have to have 6700 [illegal votes], however I would be surprised if we don’t find 6700,” Tyner said.

27. McDaniel is a clows

A racist one at that.

[catbyte]

3. OMFG. Will someone please call a whaaambulance for this sore loser crybaby?

[C Moon]

18. :) whaaaambulance

[H2O Man]

4. Recommended.

I hope he gets his wish -- and that after a very expensive fight, loses again.

Republican primaries are a good thing.

[Moostache]

5. Especially when they are de facto purity contests...(nt)

[mike dub]

7. "Absolutely ineligible voters"

Translation: McDaniel's just throwing bullshit at the wall, hoping some of it will actually stick

[rickyhall]

8. Get over it, mother f-er.

[Downwinder]

9. Several thousand at $1000 each, I want to see the pay out.

[BillZBubb]

10. If he doesn't come up with over 6700 "illegal" votes, he'll get laughed out of the room

And his definition of illegal is probably anyone who wouldn't ever vote for him.

The ultimate sore loser.

[24601]

11. He can just kiss my ass, and any future he might have otherwise had, goodbye.

[DRoseDARs]

12. This is the part that stuck out the most for me...

"A conservative pro-McDaniel blogger, Charles C. Johnson, also published an interview last week with a man who claimed he was promised $16,000 by Cochran’s campaign to pay black residents cash for votes. Johnson paid the source for his testimony, however, and the Cochran campaign has strongly denied any wrongdoing."

Johnson paid the source for his testimony. Johnson paid the source for his testimony. Johnson paid some random guy to say the Cochran campaign promised to pay him to pay blacks to vote for Cochran.

[WhiteTara]

14. It's so amazing they think that no on will notice

who creeps and losers they are. Cochran is no prize, but this guy is a nightmare.

[Ken Burch]

30. That's different, dagnabbit...Jesus With A Mullet WANTED him to pay the source!

(well...he SAID he was Jesus...)

[HooptieWagon]

31. Damn, I want to sell Charles Johnson something.

The gullibility runs even deeper in him than the stupidity. Maybe he'd be interested in buying a Kenyan Obama birth certificate. $10K. Totally genuine...

[blkmusclmachine]

13. Call him a waaaaahmbulance, STAT!

[freshwest]

15. Oh, please, please, please! Let this spat go all the way to November!!!

[neverforget]

16. One thing extremists can't stand is losing. nt

[Thinkingabout]

17. So he must need to lose by a larger amount to be happy. He should contact the voter fraud queen of

True the Vote group, if they find two John Smiths then this means voter fraud. Wonder how many John Smith they could find in Mississippi. Oh, in Florida they found voter fraud because the vehicles in the family was not in the wife's name so she was purged from the voter rolls. Had to prove she was indeed a legitimate voter. I have an unusual spelling of my first name and a very unusual last name but guess what, there are two in the US, guess we are voter fraud also.

20. Don't worry, 'True the Vote' is already sticking its oar in, on the most RW side it can find

Judge Skeptical Of True The Vote's Lawsuit Seeking Mississippi Election Records

A federal judge on Monday expressed skepticism over Tea Party-aligned group True the Vote's lawsuit seeking election records from the Senate primary runoff between Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) and state Sen. Chris McDaniel (R).

Judge Michael Mills issued a show cause order, demanding that the group show why they filed the lawsuit in the northern district of Mississippi, not the southern district.

"It is far from clear that the plaintiffs asserting vote dilution claims suffered a 'personal injury' from any instances of double voting which may have occurred in the Republican primary elections, and they allege no facts plausibly suggesting that any such voter fraud was 'fairly traceable to the ... allegedly unlawful conduct' of either of the two defendants in this case," he wrote.

"In light of the foregoing, it appears that the plaintiffs who allege nothing more than having had their votes diluted lack standing to sue and that they may have been added to this case solely to give it a deceptively 'northern district' appearance."

24. Ya know it's amazing

How fast these lunatics will abandon their "principles" and file a junk lawsuit when they don't get what they want. And here I was thinking they hated all them lawyers and judges defying the will of the people with their fancy ole court rulins.

I guess it goes to show ya - huh?

[muriel_volestrangler]

19. "And we found them by breaking into the building with the votes in ..."

The McDaniel campaign - hitting new lows of law-breaking and then whining when people think they might just not be right to represent the public, so they vote against them.

[Blue Idaho]

23. Nothing says courageous tea patriot leader

Quite like being a whiny-butt sore loser...

Poor thing.

[Renew Deal]

26. I want a do-over of the 1994 NBA Finals

And several other playoff games for my favorite teams.

[Ken Burch]

28. OK...a "do-over" works for me.

It's got "reality-show gold" written all over it.

[Ken Burch]

29. THAT must be why they broke into Mrs. Cochran's room at the nursing home-

they thought the illegal black votes were being hidden there!

[truebluegreen]

32. Don't get over it--Bring It!

Keep it up! Destroy your effing party, you lackwit--split it right in half. At least that way your bitter lunacy will do some good.

[JustAnotherGen]

33. Oh FFS!

There is no crying in baseball.

There are no 'do overs' in Republican Primaries!

What is this - dodge fucking ball on the playground after school?

[Paladin]

34. McDaniel's just going through the motions, it's all fake outrage.

The guy has been set up to make a fortune in the Right Wing Hate Talking Machine for years to come, and he knows it. Things have worked out better for him than he ever dreamed they would. It will require a little more effort from him than being a do-nothing Republican lawmaker, but the pay will be a hell of a lot better.....
