Mississippi voters call for reform after midterm snafu

The winner of the U.S. Senate race in Mississippi between incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith and Scott Colom should be known by the end of this week. Circuit clerks and election commissioners must submit their results to the Secretary of State’s office by Friday. Harya Tarekegn, director of advocacy and policy at the Mississippi Center for Justice , said the vote count is taking so long because more than 230,000 registered voters were labeled inactive by the Secretary of State’s office. "Which means that when they showed up on Election Day, they weren't on the voter rolls and have to cast that affidavit ballot. So, we have more affidavit ballots than we have had in previous years, and all of those need to be checked against the voter roll by election commissioners," Tarekegn explained. She added Secretary of State Michael Watson used unverified information from Experian to check the addresses of registered voters. Before the election, the center and other civil rights groups, including the NAACP, the Legal Defense Fund and the ACLU of Mississippi, sent a letter to Watson asking him to reinstate the voters. Anyone forced to cast an affidavit ballot or anyone who was impacted by Mississippi’s Shield Act
