Mississippi Senate race hits key ballot deadlines. Here’s what comes next
Democracy Docket reports that Mississippi's U.S. Senate race remains unresolved one week after Election Day, with unofficial AP results showing Democrat Scott Colom leading Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith by 2,536 votes and just over 2,700 absentee ballots outstanding. Deadlines fall Tuesday for postmarked mail-in ballots and affidavit voters lacking photo ID, with county certification due 13 November and statewide results on 3 December, and Democracy Docket expects the counting and likely legal battles to continue beyond both. Its founder Marc Elias's firm represents the Colom campaign.
