LIVE: Mississippi Senate ballot fight heats up
Democracy Docket's live updates page, with reporter Jacob Knutson in Jackson, tracks the unresolved Mississippi Senate race, where Scott Colom's lead over Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith has grown to 2,010 votes with more than 950,000 counted and an estimated 20,000 outstanding ballots. Republicans, who are demanding officials separate and preserve provisional ballots, say they will fight to ensure only legal votes are counted and expect Hyde-Smith to win, while Colom, voting rights groups like the NAACP, and voters rushing to cure affidavit ballots by the 10 November deadline call the effort an attempt to throw out Democratic votes.
