Mississippi made thousands of valid voters inactive ahead of critical Senate race
Democracy Docket reports that Mississippi threw thousands of valid voters into "inactive" status ahead of a close U.S. Senate race because of the Republican secretary of state's contract with Experian, a credit reporting agency critics call error-ridden. Voter Clint Lowery, among them, waited over three hours to cast an affidavit ballot after being told he was not on his precinct's list, and Secretary of State Michael Watson defended the inactivations as a cornerstone of election integrity while experts warn the affidavit ballots may decide the race.
