McDaniel Will Formally Challenge Runoff Result

Lawyers for Chris McDaniel (R) say they expect to file a challenge of McDaniel’s June 24 GOP runoff loss to Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) within the next 10 days, the Jackson Clarion Ledger reports.

“Attorney Mitch Tyner said that despite ‘roadblocks’ to access of voting records that have required lawsuits against county circuit clerks, the campaign has uncovered widespread illegal voting. He said it’s already enough to support a legal challenge of the Republican runoff, but the campaign is still gathering evidence and will not yet provide specifics.”
