An audio interview has surfaced in which the interviewee claims that he was to be paid by the Cochran camp to grease voters in the Mississippi GOP Senate runoff election. The audio interview, which coincides with a separate audio recording and batch of evidence produced by the newly launched GotNews.com, a project by Charles C. Johnson, alleges that the Cochran campaign conspired with a Mississippi Reverend to buy the votes of African American voters, who happen to be democrats.
Cochran Campaign Manager, Staffer Busted in Illegal Vote Buying Operation[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iXdhcBajtc[/youtube]A black reverend stiffed by the Cochran campaign has exposed an alleged criminal conspiracy by Cochran staffers to commit massive voter fraud ahead of Tuesday's controversial U.S. Senate Republican runoff election in Mississippi.Reverend Stevie Fielder, associate pastor at historic First Union Missionary Baptist Church and former official at Meridian's redevelopment agency, says he delivered "hundreds or even thousands," of blacks to the polls after being offered money and being assured by a Cochran campaign operative that Chris McDaniel was a racist. "They [the Cochran campaign] told me to offer blacks fifteen dollars each and to vote for Thad."It is illegal under several provisions of Mississippi law and federal law for campaign officials to bribe voters with cash and punishable up to five years in jail. (MS Code 97-13-1; MS Code 97-13-3 (2013) (Federal Code 18 U.S.C. 597, U.S.C. 1973i(c)) Voter fraud schemes are not unusual for Mississippi. In 1999 Mississippi's attorney general reported massive voter fraud allegations throughout the Magnolia state. In 2011, a Mississippi NAACP leader was sent to prison for voter fraud, according to the Daily Caller.Text messages released to Got News and a recorded interview with Reverend Fielder confirmed that Saleem Baird, a staffer with the Cochran campaign and current legislative aide to U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, and Cochran campaign manager, Kirk Sims, were involved in a $15 per vote cash bribery scheme to target members of the black community.

If Thad gets thrown out, who takes his spot on the ballot?
WASHINGTON – Several pending legal battles are emerging in connection with the dramatic Mississippi Republican Senate race, including a lawsuit FoxNews.com is told is being prepared by the family of a local Tea Party leader who died in an apparent suicide days after the election.The June 24 runoff race pitted six-term incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran against Tea Party-backed challenger Chris McDaniel, after neither candidate clinched the GOP nomination in the June 3 primary. The runoff was called for Cochran.McDaniel, though, has refused to concede and is trying to build a case to challenge the outcome over claims of voter fraud.But on the sidelines, another legal battle is brewing over the death of Mark Mayfield, a real estate lawyer and vice president of the Central Mississippi Tea Party.
Why would he kill himself?
