Scott Colom is finishing strong.
UPDATE: Scott Colom's lead in Mississippi's U.S. Senate race has grown from 65 votes to 1,138 votes, with 96% of votes in, AP reports.
Substantial ballots are outstanding in Democratic-friendly Hinds County, as well as thousands of affidavit votes. mississippifreepress.org/rol…
Ty Pinkins has a wry grin on his face as he explains his reasoning for getting into this Senate race.
Mississippi Independent Senate candidate Ty Pinkins tells @DanaBashCNN he is not a spoiler in this race: "I hope [Scott Colom] wins."
Did you vote with an affidavit ballot? You have until November 10th to cure your ballot and make sure your vote is valid.

I’ve been in contact with volunteers for the Colom campaign. Many are in various counties across the state watching votes being counted. If you or anyone you know are available to volunteer please email [email protected] and give the county where you can help.

I’m getting reports that poll workers are being asked to volunteer to monitor a polling station in Jackson County as they count affidavit ballots.

“Shortly after midnight, Hinds County election officials announced that they had paused the count for the night, meaning a full accounting of the election’s results will have to wait for the morning.”

The first results are in for Mississippi: Just a few hundred votes in Jasper County. Colom leads 58%-40%.
Doesn't mean a lot yet, of course.

Cindy Hyde-Smith has never authored one piece of legislation in 8 years as Senator of Mississippi. I question the judgment of anyone who supports her candidacy.
It's Election Day, Republicans. Go Vote! Cindy Hyde-Smith + Mississippi Republican Party ticket
🇺🇸 @MSGOP @SenHydeSmith
Make sure you get out and vote today! Your vote is your voice!

We’ve heard plenty from others about Mississippi. But what are Mississippians saying about the upcoming U.S. Senate race?
I spoke to voters across the state. One thing I heard consistently: they’re ready for a change.

“…Mississippi’s disability rate is 19.5%, the second highest in the nation and well above the national rate of 14%.”

ADOS Mississippi and activists from across the nation marched with community members from Biloxi to Ocean Springs to bring awareness to the deaths of Nolan Wells and Kohen Wiley.
“The Senatobia police officer who shot and killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley in a Walmart parking lot in June has resigned from the force, attorneys for the Wiley family told Action News 5.”

BREAKING: The Mississippi Free Press has obtained bodycam footage from the Senatobia police officer who fired the fatal shot that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley.
The footage shows he was standing on the side of the car when he fired into it, hitting the child.

The family of Kohen Wiley gathered with state officials Thursday to view unredacted footage of the confrontation, two days after leaked clips were published by a local news outlet and widely circulated on social media. ow.ly/tnV35100jnE

“Foster was the only officer included in an incident report regarding the shooting and the only officer placed on leave, but DPS has not formally identified him as the shooter.”

This is why Democrats on the left and Independent voters are criticizing establishment neoliberals and neoconservatives who are literally working against their interests to keep the duopoly afloat.
🤔 @JamesCarville: “I’d rather Republicans keep the house by 5 than Dems win by 5… Because then they’re hostage to DSA, and Hakeem can’t move.”
😬@BillKristol: “Good point.”
So afraid of DSA folks who want M4ALL, etc. they’d rather Republicans hold power. Unreal. True colors.
