Scott Colom’s lead widens in Mississippi Senate race after Democratic stronghold counts affidavit ballots
Democracy Docket reports that Democrat Scott Colom's lead in Mississippi's U.S. Senate race widened after Hinds County counted hundreds of affidavit ballots — 703 for Colom versus 96 for incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith — with the Associated Press putting him ahead by 4,404 votes. The race remained uncertified, and Democracy Docket says the count brings Colom closer to becoming Mississippi's first Black senator since Reconstruction.
