HISTORY MADE: For the first time since the Reconstruction era, Mississippi—the state with the highest percentage of Black residents—will finally have a Black U.S. Senator. Congratulations, Senator-elect Scott Colom!

Scott Colom has now jumped to a commanding lead of 4,404 votes in Mississippi's U.S. Senate race with 99% of the vote in. There is no path to victory left for incumbent Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith. But AP has not yet called the race for Colom. mississippifreepress.org/rol…

Whats significant about Scott Colom flipping Mississippi blue is how many people will be energized. For so many who had lost hope and believed the South would remain red forever, it'd be a reminder that change is possible.

I know yall wanna think the white people in your state are so perfect and nice and mississippi has all of the bad ones, but my friends, my loves, it’s not true! Mississippi is the blackest state and a large large part of African American culture. Let’s…. not.

What was @Scott_Colom cooking that Mississippi whites liked so much? Whites with a college degree moved 17 points left Whites without a college degree moved 20 points left White men moved 21 points left White women 18 points left Whites 18-29 42 points left via @nytimes

Mississippi is different because it’s hard to “other” Black people in the Blackest state in the country. At some point you WILL have a Black teacher, doctor, professor, coworker, boss… senator 😊😊😊 You have to either suspend disbelief and choose racism - or grow up.

I keep hearing people say Scott Colom will be the first black MSian elected to the US Senate since Reconstruction, but he's actually bigger—he'll be the first black MSian elected to any statewide-elected office since Reconstruction.

Considering where we are now, when it’s all said and done @scott_colom should end up north of 5,000 votes ahead. For the team of #SenatorScottColom the math is math-ing. The fat lady is warming up her vocal cords and I’ve got a good phone number to call the dogs.

Young Black women in rural Mississippi are trying like hell to make sure no ballot gets thrown out unfairly in the Scott Colom race. They are DMing friends and chasing down people who need to verify their IDs. My story (gift link) on the phenomenon: wapo.st/4AbqTpg
In the Mississippi Delta, a fight to make every vote count

In the Mississippi Delta, a fight to make every vote count

How a group of young Black women helped Democrat Scott Colom do the unthinkable, potentially flipping a deep-red Senate seat.

A lot of groups that did NOTHING to help @scott_colom are now trying to grift off of his race and sending emails and text messages asking for money to help with HIS legal fight. If you want to help Scott with his legal fight in counting the last ballots, donate to ScottColom.com. He has shown that he will support grassroots groups that are also on the ground who helped make this historic win possible. Tell these grifters to kick rocks! Donate at ScottColom.com!
