Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.), who barely squeaked past his Democratic challenger in Tuesday’s primary, said there was nothing wrong with Sen. Thad Cochran’s (R-Miss.) strategy of getting Democratic-leaning African-Americans out to vote in the GOP primary.
“Of course not. My God, I think that’s what it’s all about,” Rangel told CNN. “Of course, this is unusual for states to allow people to join in their primaries regardless of their registration.

In an interview with HuffPost Live, Derrick Johnson, president of the Mississippi NAACP, said that Cochran could thank black voters by supporting efforts to re-establish protections in the Voting Rights Act that the Supreme Courtstruck down last year.
"Our advocacy towards his office is to support amending the Voting Rights Act, free of any conditions such as voter ID," Johnson said. "I think this is an opportunity for him to show some reciprocity for African-Americans providing a strong level of support for him."
