GULFPORT, Miss., Aug. 29 (UPI) -- A Mississippi judge on Friday tossed out Chris McDaniel's lawsuit challenging the results of the runoff election in his bid to unseat Sen. Thad Cochran.
Cochran's legal team sought to have the challenge dismissed, claiming McDaniel waited too long to file a primary challenge contesting the results of the June 24 runoff. McDaniel's campaign filed the challenge Aug. 4.
