Mississippi knows a thing or two about keeping old traditions alive, and its general stores are proof. These aren’t just places to grab a quick snack or pick up a few groceries. They’re little reminders of a time when shopping came with a friendly chat and nobody was in a rush to get out the door.

Why were so many Mississippi voters removed from the state's voter rolls?

In the days before the midterms Tuesday, a coalition of the nation’s leading civil rights groups warned Republican Secretary of State Michael Watson he needed to reinstate any voters inactivated by his office’s deployment of unverified credit bureau data by Election Day. He never responded. In the wake of that decision, an unknown number of eligible voters arrived at the polls Tuesday, only to find what has happened in nearly every federal election since Mississippi’s first experiments with Experian’s information two years ago: Properly registered voters had been mistakenly inactivated(opens in a new tab) after the secretary of state provided local election officials with inaccurate address lists pulled from commercial data. The letter the coalition sent Watson, obtained by Mississippi Today, warned the state’s top elections official that known errors in the data could threaten to disrupt voting in the midterms. Elections experts say the errors now open up more room for uncertainty in ruby-red Mississippi’s razor-thin U.S. Senate(opens in a new tab) race, as Democratic candidate Scott Colom’s narrow lead(opens in a new tab) threatens to unseat Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in what would be an historic upset. Local election officials are steeling themselves for more days of counting

This country artist wrote a clever song about Blue Mississippi years ago

For four years, Mary Kutter's song "Mississippi Votes Blue" existed in the realm of the impossible. The Kentucky-born singer-songwriter and her co-writer, Matthew Osborn, created the tune in 2022 as a playful exercise in imagining things that would never happen in America. Kentucky would stop racing horses. Texas would quit selling barbecue. Georgia would stop playing football. Nevada would abandon blackjack. And Mississippi, as the joke and the lyrics went, would vote blue . Then this year's U.S. Senate election happened. As vote totals continued to trickle in from around Mississippi, showing Democratic candidate Scott Colom with a razor-thin edge over Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith, Kutter suddenly found herself at the center of a social-media storm she never expected. "I opened up my Instagram and all these DMs," Kutter told the Clarion Ledger. "Now TikTok , too. People are saying, 'You're gonna have to change the lyrics to your song.'" For a songwriter whose song was built around absurdity, reality was beginning to sound awfully familiar. A breakup song disguised as a 50-state joke At first glance, "Mississippi Votes Blue" sounds like a political novelty song. It isn't. The track is actually a clever breakup song. Kutter spends four verses

Elon Musk company started Mississippi data center without permits, state alleges

Mississippi’s environmental regulators released details this week on a set of penalties against SpaceXAI for violating state water pollution laws by starting construction on its Southaven data center facilities without needed permits. The company first announced the potential fines to investors two weeks ago, speculating the amount could reach as much as $6.1 million. To limit pollution from construction reaching public bodies of water, state law requires companies to first obtain a permit. Without proper protections, rain, for instance, can carry debris and chemicals off construction sites and pollute natural habitats, drinking water systems and recreational areas, federal regulators warn . Earlier this year, SpaceXAI – through its subsidiary, MZX Tech LLC – asked the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality for permits allowing construction within its growing Southaven footprint , which includes a power plant as well as land to build a $20 billion data center facility called MACROHARDRR. But during a July meeting between MDEQ and MZX Tech, “it became apparent” the company had already begun construction on the land in question, impacting about 30 acres, MDEQ records show. On July 16, a day after the meeting, MDEQ staff visited Southaven and confirmed the infractions. The agency sent two

Mississippi State Auditor Shad White is launching a bid to become Mississippi's next governor . White announced his campaign Monday, Nov. 9, in Laurel, becoming the fifth candidate and fourth member of the Republican Party to enter the 2027 race for governor . "For those of you who I do not know, my name is Shad White," White said at his campaign announcement event in Laurel. "I'm a Christian. I'm a husband. I'm a father of three little kids. I'm a soldier in the Mississippi National Guard. I'm the State Auditor who locked up corrupt politicians and insiders when they stole your money. And today, I am a candidate for governor of Mississippi." The announcement comes as the state has still not settled the Nov. 3 election for U.S. Senate , where Democrat Scott Colom has a lead over Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith. White was appointed the 42nd State Auditor of Mississippi by Governor Phil Bryant in 2018 and was re-elected to the post in 2019 and 2023. At the time of his appointment in 2019, Bryant became the first millennial to hold a statewide office in Mississippi. According to White's campaign website, White recovered $75 million worth of taxpayer

Dear establishment, quit counting out Mississippi voters

The Mississippi Delta contains some of the most fertile land to be found, teeming with alluvial soil that has been primed for centuries by the Mississippi River’s floods. Agriculturists farm soybeans, cotton, rice, corn and catfish, breaking their backs for fruitful harvest. Yet despite its prolific nature, the Magnolia State is acutely devoid of another form of nourishment: political investment.
