‘Protect the will of the voters’: Mississippi's Scott Colom lays out pro-voting agenda in exclusive interview
Democracy Docket's exclusive interview with Mississippi Democratic Senate candidate Scott Colom lays out his pro-voting agenda — three weeks of early voting, Election Day as a national holiday, and an end to partisan gerrymandering — as his race with Cindy Hyde-Smith remains undecided. Per the AP, Colom leads by 2,009 votes with 12,000 to 20,000 affidavit ballots uncounted, counties certify by Nov. 13, and a win would make him Mississippi's first Black U.S. senator since Reconstruction.
