Cochran Denies Buying Votes

Sen. Thad Cochran’s (R-MS) campaign “is denying reports from a conservative blogger that it was trying to buy votes,” the Jackson Clarion Ledger reports.

“The report comes as McDaniel continues to examine records from the June 24 runoff that he narrowly lost and to consider a challenge of the results. Tea party groups supporting McDaniel have cried foul over the runoff, in which traditionally Democratic and independent voters helped Cochran narrowly win the Republican primary.”
