State Senator Chris McDaniel released the following email:
Dear Supporter,
Yesterday, we filed a legal challenge to the sham primary runoff from June 24. Can you contribute to the Election Challenge Fund to help support our fight for a fair election?
I’m writing to give you an update of where we stand right now:
- As we laid out in our election challenge yesterday, there is a lot of evidence that will astonish anyone who believes in free, fair elections.
- The seriousness of the apparent violations place the outcome of the June 24th runoff into serious doubt.
- We believe the prospect of winning this challenge is very good.
So, what can you do to help?
The Mississippi GOP must know that the Barbour/Cochran super PAC behavior was despicable and will not be tolerated. Spread the word about my challenge to your friends and family, and take to social media to make sure the Mississippi Republican Party knows that you care about free and fair elections.
Second, please take a moment to contribute to the Election Challenge Fund. These court proceedings will be costly, and I won’t be able to do it without the help of conservatives everywhere.
During the campaign, conservatives like you stood by me because you believed in my conservative message. Now, I need your help again.
Thank you for standing with me in my fight for the integrity of Mississippi’s election, and don’t forget to keep an eye out for more updates.

I am so fed up with this guy and the begging for money that he can eventually pocket when he loses challenge.
The elections are not really free if you have to contribute to Chris McDaniel at every turn.
Chrissy: Are you trying to be funny? Are you trying to tickle all our funny bones all at once. This is REALLY FUNNY. Keep it up man. Better than a Saturday Night Live parody.
Or is this just someone pretending to be you feeding us a parody on you with sarcasm?
Curious if any names have been released by McDaniel regarding the $1000 reward money he was advertising.
Will be interested to see what the AG finds in their investigation of the funding source for Mr. Johnson's payment to Mr. Fielder, and to see if the dots are connected to the McDaniel camp.
I am so fed up with this guy and the begging for money that he can eventually pocket when he loses challenge.
Your frustration is your own. You certainly can choose to not read his announcements.
How about making public some of the actual costs you are paying, and how much is pro bono?
How about an accounting of exactly how this money is being spent?
Johnson isn't under investigation by Hood.
Dear Chris,
Yesterday you spoke of the importance of stepping back and letting your detached legal team work on it. However, Tyner and Watson are the opposite of a detached or otherwise disinterested legal team. So let me give you and update on your challenged from an an actual attorney not drinking your Kool Aid.
Yes, your evidence was astonishing. I was personally astonished that, after two months of investigating, your evidence consists of an unverifiable, self serving poll that has no evidentiary value and will never see the inside of a court room; 3,500 cross over votes that, like your poll cannot be deducted Cochran without likewise deducting the same number from you, because you have no way of proving which candidate for whom each cross-over voted; and a bunch of "questionable votes." The problem with your whole challenge is that to reach your conclusion, one has to make several logical leaps. In sum, you can't prove your case. You wrote one Hell of a hypothesis, however this not a poly-sci class.
Surprised McDaniel actually included the fielder stuff in his petition. Fielder recanted
Yeah, I too am fed up with the shameless pleas for funds. By now, he should at least provide an accounting.
Dear Chris,
We're right. You're wrong. You suck. Please go away. I'm not giving you any money. Please stop asking for money.
AG: Probe examined vote-buying allegations
Sam R. Hall, The Clarion-Ledger
"Hood said that no crime has been committed by paying someone to lie or for lying. However, he said his office is still seeking the source of the funds used to pay Fielder."
Seriously, every Republican in Hinds County needs to look at the Affidavit of alleged cross-overs by Holly Winningham at p. 93 or so by precinct to be sure you are not wrongfully listed as a cross-over. I've talked to at least one person I know who was wrongfully listed as a cross-over. Sure there are others. You need to let someone know at BS if they listed you incorrectly. Actually, everyone needs to look at the attachments to see if your name is mentioned incorrectly for whatever county.
Johnson isn't under investigation by Hood.
Flash! If you don't want Thad, don't keep throwing your money down the Tea Hole, send it to Travis Childers.
Andy Kaufman would be impressed with McDaniel.
Who do you let know? I don't foresee Mitch correcting it if he's going to put the good Rev in there still. Garriga?
I saw one of my classmates on there, and she's pissed. She said she's never voted in a Democratic primary in her entire life. She's someone that actually goes to some of the Republican functions and was our legislative committee class rep.
Someone on that list who wasn't a cross over voter should file a class action lawsuit for libel against McDaniel.
Cross-over voting is a crime and accusing someone of a crime is libel per se, so you don't have to prove actual damages to get to the jury.
There are tons of Republican voters listed in those exhibits that absolutely did not vote Democrat in the primary and then vote in the Republican runoff. I know several, none of which are happy to have their name used falsely to further this insanity. Several of them have already signed affidavits swearing under oath that they properly voted in the Republican primary and in the Republican runoff.
If you are on the list, or know someone who is on the list, and do not belong in those lists, I would suggest contacting the law offices of one of the attorneys listed (Garriga or Wallace) to ask about sending a signed and notarized affidavit to them disputing the allegations of impropriety.
There should be a massive lawsuit brought for slander by those who have been wrongly accused by McDaniel and his cronies.

Then she should email Mark Garriga, yes, who she can find on the Butler Snow website.
Most trial lawyers are democrats and do not surprise when they act like scum. This clown is why republicans should not choose a trial atty to represent them. I did not support Cochran in the primary, but DID vote in runoff. Unfortunately NEITHER of our choices was good. McDaniel has become a horrendous embarrassment. I suppport many Tea Party initiatives, but could not in good conscience support this fool. As for the name calling and vitriol heaped upon the McDaniel supporters, it is uncalled for. Continuing to taunt and insult McDaniel supporters will only anger them more to the point they will vote for the Democratic opponent in the general election out of revenge. Gloating for Cochran may come back to bite them in the ass in November. Unless McDaniel can prove he lost through massive fraudulent voting, he should shut up and bide his time for another election. While I find it concerning that Cochran resorted to recruiting crossover Dem votes in runoff, if it was done legally then the win is legit. Get over it and focus on the bigger picture
4:13 pm consider it done !
$50 for a ride on the Titanic. Anyone? Anyone?
The Facebook claims are particularly insane.
They should have checked the profiles!
And, aren't there some federal laws about this kind of thing? Did they get permission?
Is Tyner and his firm trying to prove they are incompetent?
Alan Lange and his wife are flagged as Cross-Over voters. Page 99. Bless his heart - a true republican.
Yep. That is the same precinct that had only 25 Democrats that voted on 6/3. They list over 200 strike through crossover votes. They better hope it never gets to trial. That's what they get for sending incompetent volunteers in.
It's NOT libel if the volunteers actually transcribed what appears on the books.
Yes, by all means call Garriga. See if you can get him to appear in his madras sport coat next time.
Does Tyner not realize that McDaniel, like all zealous charismatic, personas, will soon be looking for a scale goat? If the petition is found to be untimely files, I bet McDaniel will turn on Tyner and file a malpractice suit, or at least dog him in the media as taking to long to file the petition and wrongly advising him of the potential filing deadline.
It IS libel if they chose to not accept a vote because they think the person cheated in voting. And additionally, if they simply randomly chose names that they assumed were incorrect votes to fluff up their case, then they are incompetent and liars.
Attorneys from Brunini and Watkins and Eager were listed as "crossover" voters this just gets better by the minute.
How did the McDaniel campaign find so many out of state people to do this?
I can't believe native Mississippians ( unless they'd been in a padded cell) wouldn't recognize more than a few of these names!
It just gets 'worser and worser"!
Don't our reporters recognize these names as well or have they been too lazy to look?
7:39 left out another large regional law firm - Baker something
Alan Lange, you voted in the DEM primary while being a vocal supporter and donor of the Thad/Barbour machine? Surely it must be those crazy tea party tin foil hats working overtime and making false accusations! Unfortunately, donna is going to be working overtime on Lange's voting record. Guess your vote won't count (or did it?). So much for future credibility. As someone posted earlier, Bless your heart. For full disclosure: I didn't make a financial contribution to the Thad campaign but voted for him in the primary (not run-off).
The dirty little secret here is that MANY politically active Republicans have been voting in the Democrat primaries for years.
As for the members of the firms doing this? They are not stupid. They know (1) the law only objects explicitly to crossing over on the same day and (2) the law has never been enforced anyway.
6:53 the word "actually" makes no appearance in any of the legal defenses for liability. Not that anybody will bother to sue any of that crew for it. But it would be oh so sweet to see anybody try to defend that crap under cross-examiniation. It would also be a complete waste of time and money.
Instead of saying black votes don't count at all, he should have claimed that they should only count as 3/5 of a vote. Then all the "original intent" disciples of Scalia on the state Republican executive committee would vote with him.
It's going to be an absolute zero winter reception for Chris, Michael & Mel in the Senate. Bless their heart .

Time to give it up, Chris. You're looking like a phony raising money nationwide. Voted for you twice. Won't make that mistake again (ever).
Is there any update on the "Black Dog Man" spotted on the JFK Motorcade route?
August 5 @1:41 PM and 3:31 PM
If Johnson is not under investigation by the AG, one would think he should be after the breaking news from the AG office revealing who paid Fielder to concoct his story and his interview. The dots connecting Johnson to the McDaniel camp are beginning to look more like a solid line.
7:33, especially with Fritsch's name being mentioned on the audio tape of the interview.
7:33
Looks like from these reports the one solid piece of evidence of election fraud, then, is against the McDaniel Campaign spokesman's payment for campaign lies.
