Thad Cochran voter fraud allegations

[Jermyn Davidson]

I didn't MAKE this thread about race.

Race is endemic to this discussion because of the characters involved.

McDaniel has a reputation in his home state-- a reputation that he has earned.

The black Pastor never got paid, which is one of his complaints. He'll never get paid if McDaniel's folks are behind this. Given the ilk of some of his supporters and what they are willing to do, it won't shock me at all to find out that a McDaniel supporter is behind this.

As far as it being stupid, again, McDaniel's supporters have done stupid and classless things this year.

If I were to "pay" off a Pastor to deliver votes, I'd get someone who at least appears to be more influential.

Which is why this whole thing is putrid and I bet that McDaniel's people are behind the dragging in of this "Pastor" into something that is clearly beyond him.

So you're telling me to shut-up now....

I agree irregularities do happen, we'll have to wait and see if McDaniels team can produce evidence to show this was more than just ordinary voter irregularities.

That part of the process is great.

To suggest that there is some grand scheme involving a black Pastor posing with a flip phone in the electronics department of the neighborhood Wal-Mart is what makes McDaniel look like a sore loser.

I hope after all this he findds a way to RESPECTFULLY concede his loss-- but he probably won't.

McDaniel isn't making the claim. It's the minister and some blog, which you would likely say is Republican, far right-wing and racist.

Why do you think he won't concede once the results are certified and it's clear he lost? Why the prejudice against him?

I'm telling you to post the proof to back up your claims. And if you cannot, then yes, stop posting lies.

No, race is endemic to you. YOU make every political discussion of any Republican about race.

Really? So you live in MS or knew this guy for a while before you started reading Mother Jones or DailyKos or whatever other liberal blog spewing baseless accusations without any facts with which to back it up?

You didn't read the article or have a reading comprehension problem. Because not only did it name the church and where it was, but it also said that the minister was given envelopes which had $15 cash in them. That's what this minister claims he gave out to everyone to get them to vote for Cochran. I'm not talking about the money the minister was offered to do this.

You're saying someone in the McDaniel campaign gave hundreds or thousands of dollars in cash to pay blacks to vote for Cochran. Dumbest. Claim. Ever.

And obviously it's McDaniel's fault for having stupid and classless supporters. I mean, no Democrat (especially obama) would have a stupid or classless supporter do something for them. *cough

Doesn't matter if he appears influential. What matters is if he IS influencial and has the ear of the people. Who cares what he looks like.

Oh, so now it's not the minister's fault, yet again you're blaming (without proof) McDaniel's campaign for dragging this poor, innocent, stupid man into something "clearly beyond him."

It's incredible the pure hate being posted about McDaniel by JD. I'll admit, I didn't know the guy until this primary. And I doubt JD knew this guy before the day after the runoff election.

It's like JD looked at McDaniel's picture on Mother Jones or DailyKos and assumed 1) He's white, 2) He's Republican....OMG HE'S RACIST!!!!

Second lawsuit on the way from the McDaniel campaign, and perhaps a third from FreedomWorks. The campaign has allegedly found nearly 5,000 illegal votes cast by Democrats who broke the law by voting in both the Democrat Primary and the Republican runoff. They've checked 51 of the 82 counties in MS. It's highly likely they will pass the 6,600 votes Cochran won by with 31 counties yet to be checked. I'll go on a limb and say the lawsuits and vote-checking will show that once these illegal votes are removed, McDaniels wins by just over 2,500 votes.

Unfortunately, I doubt any of these people will be charged with voter fraud as they should be.

No doubt JD will be happy to read this, as he says he supports this process.

That is very different from shut up, but justify whatever you want.

I was following this race BEFORE their election and yes, McDaniel has a reputation in Mississippi that he has earned due to his associations.

And again, the people involved and the nature of the accusations have a racial element-- I didn't make this thread about race.

This story has a racial bent to it already and you know this.

Where did I say anyting about hundreds or thousands of dollars?

I have a reading comprehension problem?
