The Republican Party is demanding that Mississippi election officials “separate and preserve” all provisional ballots cast in the midterms — the first step in a likely bid to throw out votes in the state’s extremely close U.S. Senate race*.
The vote count is ongoing, and Democrat Scott Colom currently leads Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith ® by several hundred votes, with certification due by Nov. 13. His victory would represent a significant upset in the state’s Republican-dominated politics.
It’s been at that same percentage for over a day. I should have mentioned that part.
It’s Mississippi, they’re slow counters.
Do you know WHY it takes Mississippi this long to count the votes?
One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi…
I heard an Alabamian say “Thank God for Mississippi, or we’d be forty-tenth in education.”
I’m impressed they made it to 96 honestly
Maybe some red hat observer inspecting each counted?
