Quote from the story --- Thad Cochrans acceptance of the nomination requires him to accept the 30,000 to 40,000 Democrat votes he received on June 24th, said attorney Mitch Tyner in the news release. Accepting the nomination under such circumstances clearly disqualifies Sen. Cochran from eligibility as the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate from the Mississippi. The news release included Rule 11(b): “No state Republican Party rule or state law shall be observed that allows persons who have participated or are participating in the selection of any nominee of a party other than the Republican Party, including, but not limited to, through the use of a multiparty primary or similar type ballot, to participate in the selection of a nominee of the Republican Party for that general election. No person nominated in violation of this rule shall be recognized by the Republican National Committee as the nominee of the Republican Party from that state.” wtok/home/headlines/US-Senate-Candidates-Speak-at-Neshoba-County-Fair-269460331.html?device=phone
