Democracy Docket reports that pro-voting demonstrators protested U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche's Monday, Nov. 9, 2026 appearance at Jackson City Hall, near where voters must cure affidavit ballots by 5 p.m. Tuesday, saying the police presence and roadblocks could intimidate or inconvenience voters. As Mississippi kept counting its U.S. Senate race, with Democrat Scott Colom leading Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith by about 2,500 votes, demonstrator Valencia Robinson said the meeting could have been held elsewhere and that the situation is proving every vote counts.
