By CATHERINE THOMPSON Published JULY 24, 2014, 10:15 AM EDT
Conservative pundit Ann Coulter has clearly tired of Republican activists' dogged efforts to contest the results of the Mississippi Senate runoff.
In her syndicated column Wednesday, Coulter said it "doesn't look great" for supporters of state Sen. Chris McDaniel (R-MS) to accuse blacks who voted for U.S. Sen Thad Cochran (R-MS) in the runoff election of committing voter fraud.
"It's true that most black people don't usually vote in Republican primaries," she wrote. "But they do vote in general elections. And evidently a lot of them vote for Cochran."
Coulter argued that historically, Cochran has actually won a decent portion of the black vote. She cited the 85 percent share of Mississippi voters the senator won in his last election without President Barack Obama on the ticket and pointed out that Cochran netted 40,000 more votes than Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) did in Mississippi during the 2008 election.

As they say - follow the money.
