In an interview by phone with Breitbart News late Tuesday evening after the McDaniel headquarters cleared out, state Democratic Party chairman Rickey Cole said McDaniel should challenge the election results. Clearly there was some sloppiness to say the least, and probably some failures to comply with the law, Cole told Breitbart News.
I listened to some of McDaniels speech, and in a race this close Im sure there are irregularities that ought to be looked into, Cole said. Ive been around a lot of close elections in my life. I think the candidate owes it to his supporters to make sure that everything was done on the up and up.

Cole said the legal options by which McDaniel can proceed is he can request to inspect ballot boxes at any and every precinct statewidethere is no recount provisions in Mississippi election law. They or their representative can come inspect the contents of any box and make notes of any irregularities and once they compile whatever evidence they may have, then they present a challenge to the Republican State Executive Committee, Cole said. Then the Republican State Executive Committee would have to rule on it, and if either party was dissatisfied by the Republican State Executive Committee ruling you would appeal it to a circuit court and it would be heard de novo in the circuit courtwhich means the circuit court would look at everything the Republican executive committee did just so you dont have to start completely from the start.
