GOP kicks off bid to throw out votes in Mississippi Senate race
Democracy Docket reports that the GOP's demand that Mississippi officials separate and preserve provisional ballots is the first step in a likely bid to throw out votes in a Senate race where Democrat Scott Colom leads Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith by several hundred votes, with certification due by November 13. Large numbers of Mississippians voted by affidavit ballot after 230,000 registrations were flagged inactive, and the race will likely hinge on those ballots, which are counted after voters present ID.
