GOP Officials Plotting To Rig Race For Mississippi Senate Seat?

This seems like a big deal: Is the GOP trying to confuse voters and rig the election against the Democratic candidate in a hotly-contested race for a plum Senate seat?

It seems that way to quite a few people in Mississippi -- because the candidates for this election have now been placed in obscurity at the very bottom of the physical ballot that voters will see on Election Day.

In a move that could very well bring on a lawsuit, the state elections board -- controlled by the GOP -- today put the special election for Senate underneath even races for county offices and school boards. This was despite the fact that state law seems to clearly require placing federal races at the top of the ballot.

1. More interesting in that this year both senate seats are on the ballot

thad cochran's regular seat and a special election to fill trent lott's old seat and complete his term. The gop better think twice if confusion is their weapon because their base is easily confused. Thats why they constantly vote against their own interests.

3. The GOP sees the writing on the wall and they are desperate.

Your party's over, guys. Let it go.

They know there will be a big turn about and the RNC and the lobbyist cannot support all of their families.
