Don't be so obtuse. The issue isn't that they were black. The issue is whether they voted in the Dem primary a few weeks back, then voted in the GOP runoff yesterday. Black, white or in-between, if you voted in the primary for one party, the law does not allow you to vote in a runoff for the other party.
How does the Mississippi law even allow this? In NJ you can't change your party registration after 40 days before the election. Only independents can declare for a party on election day.

Ask Arkansas. They do the same thing here. Vote for who you want to in a primary. If there is a runoff after first primary you get to vote again in the same party runoff. Then in the general election you can cross back over to the other party. Seems to me that when these type laws were passed that a specific party was in major control of their legislature. Manipulation of an election seems to rear its ugly head with this type set up.
