Something Historic is Happening in Mississippi
In a Democracy Docket video, Marc Elias ties Democrat Scott Colom's Mississippi US Senate win to the 1964 murders of civil rights workers Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner, arguing Ronald Reagan's 1980 "states' rights" speech at the nearby Neshoba County Fair launched his campaign. Elias says the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in his favor against the Republican National Committee on counting late-arriving Mississippi mail-in ballots, that about 3,000 ballots will now count, and that Colom will become a leading voting-rights voice.
