Oh my lanta.
Wow. For years, an official in Arkansas allegedly tampered with bar exam scores, pulling points from some test takers and giving them to others.
This caused numerous failing exams to pass, and resulted in "at least one instance" where an otherwise passing exam fell below the requisite threshold.

Important people know the backstory of this ad. @patrickgaspard gave me the idea to take her inexcusable gaffe and do something edgy with it that could get attention.
My content creator, @RyanSayles_ directed and edited it. He should be considered the breakout-star of this cycle. He’s going to be a giant in the media consultant game. He did GAME CHANGING work with SO little.

“Democrat Scott Colom’s lead over incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith has grown from 65 earlier to 1,138 votes with an estimated 96% of votes counted.
Significant votes are still outstanding in Democratic-friendly Hinds County, as well as thousands of affidavit ballots” mississippifreepress.org/liv…

One of the more exciting parts of this election - among many - is the return of a religious left.

Scott Colom, speaking now, says he’s confident “we’re going to win” in Mississippi and that they “will protect the process of this election”
He’s currently up 43 votes in his race for U.S. Senate

.@JamesTalarico: We didn’t win by alienating our neighbors, or by shaming our neighbors, or by ridiculing our neighbors. We embodied a new kind of politics. A politics rooted in a deep love — for our state, for our country, and for all of our neighbors.
My faith teaches me that love is the strongest force in the universe.
Love is not passive. Love is not neutral. Love is not weak. Love requires that we stand between the bullies and the bullied. Love requires that we look evil in the eye and not blink.
Love can heal what’s broken in America.
Is holding political power or advancing the state as a whole more important? If you answer if the latter, then what has our still current senator done to address the needs and concerns of Mississippians ?
That judicial subdistrict the Mississippi establishment forced on DeSoto County against our will—the one we fought in federal court—just delivered.
It turned out roughly 5,000 extra Democratic voters, flipped DeSoto County blue, and may have just cost Republicans a U.S. Senate seat.
I did everything I could to stop it. I knew exactly what it would do to this county, and I knew that if DeSoto flips, Mississippi goes with it.
Hope everyone who helped put that scheme in place is satisfied with the result.
The GOP has some soul searching to do in Mississippi. We need real leadership in this state. Pray for our state and our country.

Here's a photo of Blanche Bruce, the last Black person to represent Mississippi in the U.S. Senate. He was born into slavery in 1841.
Scott Colom is currently up 43 votes over incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith.

Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.
These results were only possible because outstanding candidates stepped forward in every region of the country — including in areas once considered long shots. They came from different backgrounds and represented a range of political perspectives, but were united by shared values, a belief in public service, and a commitment to putting the people of their districts and states first.
We also owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of election officials and volunteers from both parties who helped ensure a smooth election and carried out one of the most essential functions of our democracy.
While this administration has another two years in office, our job now is to roll up our sleeves, make changes wherever we have the power to do so, prevent further damage, and lay the groundwork for the future.

Hyde-Smith is celebrating her and her supporters potentially blocking a Black candidate who could become the first ever popularly-elected U.S. Senator from Mississippi, just as she blocked him from becoming a federal judge.
Colom is focused on protecting Mississippians’ rights.
Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith and Democratic challenger Scott Colom were locked in a tight race late Tuesday.

Amazing: NBC just interviewed a Republican voter in Texas who voted for Democrats up and down the ballot. They asked him what would happen if Democrats win tonight: "Well, I don't think our kids are going to come home a different gender tomorrow."
