They still have a long way to go given the massive amount of voter disenfranchisement that occurred in this midterm election. Unsurprising that it was directed towards people of color, people who were voting Democrat, and people who were voting for Scott Colom.
Just six years after Mississippi removed the Confederate stars and bars from its state flag, Scott Colom could become the first Black senator from the state since Reconstruction and the first Democrat to win the seat since 1982. The last Democratic senator in the state, John Stennis, was an avowed segregationist himself. cnn.it/48KBTy3

Racism is alive and horrendous in Mississippi! Y'all should elect a new Governor, Lt. Gov, Secretary of State, Attorney attorney General, and Legislature.
Hinds County Election Commissioners have rejected the majority of affidavit ballots cast in Mississippi’s largest county. The county accepted just 817 affidavit ballots, while rejecting 1,609—a rejection rate of about 66.3%.

And this is why @RepJeffries is useless. can't even impeach a war criminal
Hegseth avoids House rebuke - too many Democratic absences. Impeachment plan sent to committee to die.

Have you tried not disenfranchising Mississippians with a miserable registration and election process? Add early voting, make mail-in voting easier, stop with the "excuses". Make voting and democracy easier!
There is a reason Mississippi has gone from being ranked 26th to 11th in the country in election integrity policies. We have implemented every available resource to ensure our elections are secure, and to ensure we do not have dead people, illegal aliens, people with false addresses, or nonresidents voting in our elections.
Our robust voter roll maintenance program is not new. We have been actively pushing our local election officials to better maintain their voter rolls since we began publishing our active voter counts on our website in January 2021. When I took office, MS had seven counties with more than 100% of their voting age population on their voter rolls. Today, we are down to three.
As I have said before, the affidavit ballot process is a safety net for errors election commissioners may make as they conduct mandatory voter roll maintenance. It may take voters a little longer for final results to come in, but it will result in more accurate voter rolls which will speed up the process in the future and decrease opportunities for voter fraud in MS. In the end, accuracy and integrity will be maintained.
Please be patient as our circuit clerks and election commissioners finish their tedious work to ensure every legal vote cast gets counted. No matter the outcome of the race, our job as election officials is to follow the law.

Have you tried this thing called early voting? It helps.

Here are the latest numbers from the Statewide Election Management System:
75 of 82 counties have now uploaded their unofficial results.
There are just over 2,800 absentee mail in ballots still out.
12,767 affidavit ballots have now been processed with roughly 77% of them being accepted.

Corroborating CNN report:
'That anger could all now hit Hegseth, with SEVERAL House Republicans telling Fox News Digital that they believe a resolution to impeach him COULD PASS AS EARLY AS NEXT WEEK.
"He's screwed," one House GOP lawmaker told Fox News Digital.'

President Donald Trump may have launched the war that tanked voters' support for the GOP, but the party's historic midterm losses are accelerating a push for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to take the fall.
And the House could vote as soon as next week to impeach the Pentagon's top leader. cnn.it/3UwjB0b

Army veteran who won NC House seat: Hegseth ‘absolutely’ should be impeached

Pete Hegseth lashes out over efforts to impeach him:
In case you've noticed, they're obsessed. A disgruntled, defeated congressman, along with all his Democrat allies, has also dropped sham articles of impeachment against yours truly, just like they tried against President Trump twice.
You see, their policies don't work. So their obsession with political theater disguised as power drives them to try to destroy their opponents. It's all about the politics of personal destruction.
It didn't work against President Trump, and it won't work with me. You can rest assured of that.
To the troops: Don't blink. Ignore the noise. Never hesitate. You see, all this is politics.
