What? This is popcorn time for Democrats.
This is a Republican party in-fight and it's the establishment Republicans who are playing games re certifying the vote and denying McDaniel access. McDaniel's ludicrous claim is that Cochran convinced 1/3rd of Democratic voters to cross over and vote for him.

Not fraud. You can only vote in 1 primary but in Mississippi that rule does not apply to run-offs.

The establishment GOP is just losing more votes come election time. I don't think libertarians and real conservatives will continue voting for the neocons they want to run.

How many of the dems who voted in the primary will vote GOP as MS law requires?

Representative. It appears to be the master label for the field that indicates which Congressional Representative District a voter is in. There's a box for Senatorial District, as well. It'll make sense if you look at the full page picture, here:

In MS, you can't vote in both the Dem and R primaries. That's what that page indicates happened for 3 of the 12 registered voters listed on the page.

That's not the correct claim. About 85,000 Democrats voted in the Democratic primary, and McDaniel's people are widely claiming that 30,000 different Democrats voted in the Republican runoff. If the same people voted on both ballots then it will be quickly discovered and their votes will be invalidated.

The claim by the first article in the OP (again, this is the only article currently on the web claiming this) is that staffers have found several hundred illegal ballots, enough to contest the results in numerous counties. They'd have to get 6,000+ Cochran votes eliminated to change the results. If they can, then McDaniel won. If they can't, then Cochran will retain his seat and the ultra-right-wingers will spend the next 5 years spewing spittle on anything Cochran does in preparation for the 2020 election.

And Mississippi runoffs don't have any provisions for a recount, so I would imagine they'd have to invalidate pretty much all 6,000 for the election to be overturned, correct?

But if McDaniel won why would the majority of Cochran supporters vote for him? Especially given the hatred both groups seem to show for each other.
