True The Vote, a conservative poll watching group based in Houston, TX, has filed a lawsuit challenging Thad Cochran's primary victory over Chris McDaniel for relying on black voters.
A conservative group filed a lawsuit in federal court Tuesday challenging the outcome of the bitter Mississippi GOP Senate primary, saying that investigators should take more time to determine whether election laws have been broken and whether illegal ballots were cast.
True The Vote, which bills itself as the nation’s leading voters’ rights and election integrity organization, said that it had no choice but to file a lawsuit after the Mississippi secretary of state and Mississippi GOP refused to respond to requests to review possible “double-voting” in the state’s primary, where Sen. Thad Cochran was declared the winner over tea party-backed state Sen. Chris McDaniel.
In fact, according to True the Vote, black voters are such an irregularity that it's a possible violation of the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause. There's even a smoking gun:
In a news release, [FreedomWorks for America] said that an audio interview released by the conservative website RedState “revealed text messages and communications allegedly from the Thad Cochran campaign that, if true, catch the campaign breaking election law and buying votes in the GOP runoff election.”
In an interview with GotNews.com, a black reverend confesses to breaking federal law by giving people $15 to vote for Cochran. It was a paid interview, and Cochran's campaign is denying all of it, but of course it isn't the end. What other crimes will the Tea Party uncover in the case of the voting black people? Stay tuned.
