Mississippi Voters More Than Double Absentee Ballot Totals From 2022 Midterms
Mississippi voters cast 116,453 absentee ballots before the Nov. 3, 2026 midterms, more than double the 49,630 cast in 2022, the Secretary of State reported. The Mississippi Free Press notes the ballot features Democrat Scott Colom's challenge to Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, all four U.S. House seats, and high turnout with long lines at some precincts.
