Colom extends slim lead over Hyde-Smith in Mississippi Senate race
A Hill news article reports that Democratic attorney Scott Colom has extended his slim lead over Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith to more than 3,000 votes in the still-uncalled Mississippi Senate race, ahead of deadlines for provisional and absentee ballots. Colom charged on social media that forecasters like the Cook Political Report had wrongly labeled him a sure loser, while Decision Desk HQ put him at 49.11 percent to Hyde-Smith's 48.79 percent.
