CAITLIN MACNEAL – JULY 17, 2014, 3:47 PM EDT

The Mississippi Supreme Court on Thursday rejected state Sen. Chris McDaniel's (R) petition filed against the Harrison County clerk in order to gain access to all election records from the U.S. Senate primary runoff.

McDaniel demanded "access to and full examination of all the original election materials," including poll books.

The Mississippi Attorney General and Harrison County Circuit Clerk Gayle Parker argued that a candidate's right to review election records does not include poll books.

Judge Josiah Coleman wrote in the court's opinion that the clerk did not need to include poll books in election boxes for candidate review.

2. I kinda find it humorous too

Until I realize that Cochran will most likely win in November. I wish it would guarantee a Democratic win, but alas it is Mississippi.

4. Some pissed McDaniels supporters might sit out this election in anger

Travis could win if he runs a populist message.
