AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoSenate Count: Democrat Scott Colom led Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith by 2,536 votes as Mississippi’s razor-thin U.S. Senate race reached a key deadline Tuesday. Mail ballots postmarked by Election Day and eligible affidavit ballots could still affect the result; counties must certify by Friday. Mississippi has no automatic recount procedure. A Colom win would flip a seat Republicans have held for nearly four decades and make him the state’s first Black U.S. senator elected since 1875. Voting Access: The count has intensified scrutiny of Mississippi’s voter-roll practices. More than 230,000 voters were moved to inactive status, and thousands had to use affidavit ballots after their names were missing from poll books. At Jackson State University, 205 ballots were rejected over registration and precinct issues. Governor’s Race: State Auditor Shad White has launched a 2027 campaign for governor, joining a field that is already taking shape.
