Mississippi Tea party challenger refuses to accept that he lost election, decides to file suit to force Republican party officials to say he won by 25,000 votes.

The moment Mississippi voters should have seen this coming.
Courtesy of ABC News: 

Mississippi State Sen. Chris McDaniel officially announced the beginning of a legal effort to challenge the results of his primary fight against six-term incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran. 

The campaign formally filed a challenge with the Mississippi Republican Party’s executive committee, the official first step to mounting a legal challenge.

Even though McDaniel was beaten by 7.600 votes, and those votes were unanimously certified by the Republican party's executive committee,  he has refused to concede.

And now after his volunteers have spent that last month or so combing through voter rolls they think they have found enough questionable votes to give the election to their candidate. How surprising.

The McDaniel camp is not asking for another runoff, they simply want the election given to them, and allow McDaniel to win by 25,000 phantom votes.

Holy crap did Mississippi dodge a bullet with this guy!
