Scott Colom and Black Mississippians stand on the cusp of Senate history as vote count stretches on
An Associated Press article on pbs.org reports that Mississippi's Senate race remains too early to call, with Democrat Scott Colom possibly becoming the state's first Black senator since Reconstruction as officials count absentee and affidavit ballots due by 10 November and counties certify results by 13 November. Colom, chided rival Cindy Hyde-Smith for staying out of sight since she declared victory on election night and says late tallies lean his way, while Hyde-Smith posts that her team is not backing down.
