How a Mississippi election came down to the clerk’s office
Robert Samuels reports for The Washington Post on how a too-close-to-call Mississippi Senate race between Democrat Scott Colom and incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith came down to the clerk's office, as organizers chased affidavit ballots. Kameisha Smith's Holmes County operation registered 283 voters and boosted turnout, and after her own ballot was purged, canvasser Shan'terrius Sly shuttled relatives and neighbors, IDs in hand, to salvage votes as Colom's lead grew.
