seems to me that this one needs a legal challenge. What right does Mississippi or any other state have to allow democrats to vote in a Republican primary or vice versa. A primary election is an inner party election to pick a candidate and not a public election that should be under the rules of the election laws. Some states don't even have primaries. They choose their candidates in a caucus, Most states, including NC, don't allow party members to switch over and vote in the other primary unless they actually change their party affiliation a number of days prior to the election. I think NC does allow unaffiliated voters to vote in one or the other primary.
It is alleged that some of the dems that voted for Cochran had already voted on a democrat ballot in the main primary before crossing the line in this run off primary. It ain't right. It's time for Halley Barbour and Carl Rove and the rest of the old time Republican Boss Hogs to go down HARD.

I can't remember, but when I went to vote this year, I found out that Dixie could vote in the primaries although she wasn't yet 18, as long as she would be 18 by the general election. She picked Libertarian and didn't have the choices that Republicans had unfortunately.
McDaniel is a class act, and I hope he does push for a write-in campaign. Otherwise, this Senate seat is going to the Dems in November.

DeleteAgreed, although the Neocons think the opposite. :)
" the Neocons think the opposite .."
ReplyDeleteYes, they do, which makes them worst than useless.
Yes, Ma'am, win lose or draw run true Constitutionalists.
ReplyDeleteToo bad. Thanks for checking it out.
