I would hope all posters agree that fraud is not to be tolerated regardless of which party commits it.
That is EXACTLY how I read their first post too.

I think most of us are agreed on that, Casey.

No you didn't. You just shot down the entire idea that ANY illegalities went on and kept spinning and spinning.

What disturbs me the most about all that is that he incited some Blacks to commit a crime, voter fraud.

With every post you prove you have no reading comprehension. It's pointless trying to have a discussion with you.

I have read ALL of your posts on this subject. You have vehemently denied ANY wrong doing and illegalities. It has been ALL spin and deflection. It's just as pointless trying to have a discussion with you as well and it always has been, so I just keep trying to keep you from getting dizzy from all the spinning by giving you facts to choke on.

Yes, it was definitely incitement and he HAD to know that there would be illegal votes cast.

He HAD to know that there would be illegal votes cast? How so????

As a Senator of the great state of Mississippi, he had every reason to expect that the election process safeguards that protect the integrity of the process were in place and would be followed. The system was set up so that poll workers would check the Democratic primary rolls before allowing someone to vote in the Republican run-off. That's why the Democratic primary rolls were provided to poll workers. There was no other reason to provide them. Cochran had no reason to think that widespread fraud would occur.

There is no evidence anyone voted illegally. Someone posting a Democratic poll book on twitter and facebook isn't evidence. Screaming and stomping voter fraud doesn't make it so.

If there were illegal votes, then that is a problem. If it was shown that the amount of illegal votes (if it happened) were larger than the margin, McDaniel would be right in contesting the election. However, lets have all the facts play out before we start screaming, stomping our feet and throwing a hissy fit.
