As everyone except conservatives admits, “True The Vote” is a RWNJ voter-suppression group.
Nothing it does is for the benefit of the public.
I don’t think there’s going to be enough popcorn to truly enjoy this.
Wow.
Ah, “Hot Tub” Tom Delay. Them was the days!

True the Vote professes to be dedicated to precision and accuracy in the voting process. So how come they couldn’t even be bothered to spell Honorable and District correctly on the first page of their complaint?
TTV was founded and is run by a failed far right candidate whose literacy is questionable at best.
I keep hearing this claim that MS law prohibits voters that voted in the regular primary election of one party from voting in the runoff primary election of the other party. In the suit, they appear to base this on a provision of MS law (the “intent to support provision”) that I understand was found unconstitutional by the 5th Cir. I wonder if there are any MS lawyers out there that can share their thoughts on this. Seems to me to be baseless based on what they are pleading, but I wonder if there is another, more specific statute, on point?
Talk about bad losers. It is pretty funny to watch the repugs eat each other.
What they really mean is that black folks shouldn’t be able to vote at all. Sound familiar?

I got a kick out of the name of one of the Plaintiffs: Sybil Tribble. Awesome.
I believe that you have rolled two provisions up into one.
The first is that you can’t vote in both primaries, and the runoff was a continuation of the primary. That provision is enforceable.
The second is that you can’t participate in a primary unless your intention is to vote for your favored primary candidate in the general election if your candidate were to win the primary. The second provision is that one that was found to violate the Constitution.
Those who need to resign are the Tea Party contingent in the Congress who are more hated by most Americans.
Sorry you object to Obama Presidenting while black. Was there a peep out of you when W did far worse?
Job creators did very well when unions were stronger, not so well now. You have been fooled by a bunch of propaganda from businessmen who believe they can make money without anybody able to buy.
Obama has sent more would be immigrants home than any other President.
No more free stuff? Does that include inheritances or is it totally fair in your estimation that those who picked their ova and sperm well should be entitled.
A fertilize human egg is not a child. And besides, science will soon be able to take a cell from a hangnail and make that into a child. So will those cells be sacred too?
Charter schools are proving far worse than public schools. See the data in Michigan.

"They claim to have already found 1,500 “invalid” votes. "
They do indeed make that claim but as usual the McDaniel forces appear to be talking nonsense:
“Pete Perry, the Hinds County Republican Party chairman, said the McDaniel campaign’s claims were “wildly exaggerated.” In the Jackson precinct at Fondren Presbyterian Church, he said, the McDaniel campaign charged that 192 illegal votes had been cast by people who voted in the Democratic primary. But, he said, only 37 Democrats voted there on June 3.”

I bet that sounds better in the original German too.
Funny. Fondren is basically the only liberal white area in Jackson that I can think of.
A number of members of Congress called on him to not certify the 2000 election, but Gore presided over the process (as outgoing VP and therefore leader of the Senate) and he refused to allow any challenge to it.
Thanks, that is exactly my question. I would have expected them to cite the “you can’t vote in both primaries” provision, but they did not (assuming that it exists). I am questioning if there really are two separate provisions. If there are, then they might have a claim if people who voted in the D primary came out and voted in the R runoff - there were be a number of “inelligible” voters. Though, I am not sure what the remedy would be - probably depends on MS law. If they are both based on the intent provision that is unenforceable, then I am not sure that they have a claim. I could see the court finding that they are two “separate” elections on different days, and concluding that they were eligible voters and did not vote twice in the same election.
It seems to me that a common legal strategy is to start off casting a very wide net – either with a lengthy list of complaints (including improbable ones), or with very general terms (such as “voter fraud” instead of violation of specific statutes).
