Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) on Monday sharply criticized allies of
Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) for courting Democrats in last month's Republican
runoff election and called for a thorough investigation into allegations of
voter fraud, marking his most direct comments yet on the outcome of one of the
most contentious and divisive campaigns in recent memory.
"What happened in Mississippi was appalling," Cruz said on the Mark
Levin Show. "Primaries are always rough and tumble. But the conduct
of the Washington D.C. machine in the Mississippi runoff was incredibly
disappointing."
Cochran defeated McDaniel by some 6,700 votes in the June 24
runoff election. The senator and his allies courted Democratic voters,
including many African Americans, a strategy that apparently worked. A Washington Post
analysis showed that in 24 counties with a majority black
population, turnout increased an average of 40 percent over the primary.
In the state’s 58 other counties, the increase was 16 percent.
Democratic voters were allowed to cast ballots in the GOP runoff
provided they did not vote in the Democratic primary.
Cruz said it's clear that McDaniel won a "sizable
majority" of Republican voters. He repeatedly blamed the "D.C.
machine" for changing the outcome of the runoff.
"The ads they ran were racially charged false attacks and
they were explicit promises to continue and expand the welfare state,"
said Cruz.
McDaniel's campaign has alleged voter fraud may have tipped the
election in Cochran's favor. On Monday, McDaniel's attorney
said the campaign is continuing to look into the matter and could
soon officially challenge the results. Cochran's campaign said the McDaniel
allegations are without merit.

Update from Western PAC:
Dear Patriot
Thus far, in the 82 county courthouses around Mississippi,
over 200 volunteers have found more than 8,300 votes cast by illegal crossover voters.
They've done so even as the Mississippi Secretary of State has given circuit
court employees blatantly false instructions as to what they can release to the
designees of the Chris McDaniel campaign as they attempt to verify the votes.
The Mississippi Establishment is playing dirty yet again,
and it's going to take everything we have to fight them. Last Monday,
volunteers began a 12 day process of verifying the certified vote of the
Mississippi GOP, and thus far they've found 600 more votes than they need to
overturn the result. We've still got five more days to go after today.
In the meantime, establishment talking heads like Ann
Coulter have screeched that Chris McDaniel should give up for the good of the Republican
Party and his political career. It is a testament to Chris McDaniel's true
character that he doesn't seem too concerned with either one of those things it
if means looking the other way on voter fraud. It's exactly why we are firmly
committed to putting Chris McDaniel in office come November, so that he can
serve with Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, and
Mike Lee. A man who won't bend in the face of the enormous
pressures at play in Mississippi won't bend in Washington, D.C., either.
The establishment knows this, and so do their puppet masters
over at the Chamber of Communist Commerce. They know that they won't be able to
get another TARP bailout, and another auto bailout on top of it for Government
Motors. They know that they won't be able to make billions off of parts
suppliers like Delphi by buying up the worthless debt of a bankrupt company
that only yielded money for hedge funders and Mitt Romney due to a taxpayer
funded bailout.
They know it, and they're using their corporate owned media
to disparage Chris McDaniel at every opportunity. They don't give a damn that
his volunteers have already found 600 more votes than they need to call the runoff
result into question. They bought those 8,300 votes, and around 32,000 other
votes, $15 at a time.
This is what you're funding: a grassroots insurgency against
their plan to steal an election and continue their business as usual, at the
expense of your retirement and your children and grandchildren's futures. If we
have our way, they go to jail for fraud in the next financial crisis they create.
If they have their way, they get a free pass and trillions more of your money,
or money borrowed or printed in your name. You get higher
prices at the gas station and the grocery store, and they
get greater profits.
The establishment can go to hell, and Mr. Chris McDaniel can
go to Washington, D.C. as a U.S. Senator in November with your support. We will
fight them tooth and nail, for the next five days, and during the court appeals
that follow, and over the next four months as we mount a write-in campaign to
scorch the earth in Mississippi and burn the establishment to the ground in the
process. We will not relent, and neither should you.
We're passing out the torches. Are you ready to start a
fire?
Sincerely, Jay Batman, Director, Research and
Messaging
