Chris McDaniel Tells Mark Levin ‘We’re Not Going to Concede’

Mississippi tea party challenger Chris McDaniel lost last night’s primary to Thad Cochran, but he did not concede in his speech to supporters and he has no plans to. He told Mark Levin tonight that not only won’t he concede, but he’s going to push for an investigation of the vote.

Levin pointed out that in the primary and in last night’s runoff, McDaniel got more Republican votes than Cochran did in Republican races, and wondered when the election laws will be fixed so they can’t be “manipulated” like that. McDaniel said the Cochran campaign snatched thousands of liberal Democrats through seedy means, including, as McDaniel alleged, “paying people to vote.”

And he went on to say he’ll be contesting the outcome of the vote until everything is cleared up, explaining that a lot of these Democrats committed an illegal act by voting for Cochran when 1) they voted in the Democratic primary weeks ago, and 2) they voted for a candidate they have no intention of supporting.
