'No one wants to go to war for Cindy': Ex-Republican calls on MS to act

The Lincoln Project's Stuart Stevens is encouraging officials in Mississippi to call the election after the latest dump of votes from Hines County resulted in a gain of over 700 votes for Democrat Scott Colom and 96 for Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.). MS NOW's election team ranked the race as now "leans Dem," as it would take well over 60 percent for Hyde-Smith to overcome Colom's 4,404-vote lead. "Look, Ole Miss played Georgia Saturday night, and they were 42 to 7 behind with two minutes to go, and they had a better chance than Cindy Hyde-Smith to win. This thing is done," said Stevens, who ...

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. Then, on Nov. 11, the final votes were counted and Mississippi had, indeed, turned Blue. Colom declared victory over Republican incumbent U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith on Wednesday evening, following the afternoon announcement that CNN had called the race for the Democratic challenger. Colom officials said that Hyde-Smith had called Colom to concede the race on Wednesday. Hyde-Smith congratulated Colom in a video released that evening. "I opened up my Instagram and all these DMs," Kutter told the Clarion Ledger. "Now TikTok

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

South Mississippi star running back named back-to-back 4A Mr. Football winner

The first prep football player in Mississippi history to score 100 career rushing touchdowns has been named 4A Mr. Football by the Mississippi High School Activities Association and the Mississippi Association of Coaches for the second year in a row. Poplarville running back Ty Keys claims the honor again during a senior season that has witnessed him find the end zone 31 times and counting. He’s rushed for over 1,600 yards and 28 touchdowns. The Miami commit has seven 100-yard rushing games, four 200-yard games and a season-high 345 yards and five scores against McComb. Keys has helped lead Poplarville to a region title and a 10-0 record that the Hornets are taking into the second round of the playoffs this week. He’s the first back-to-back winner in South Mississippi since former Ocean Springs standout Bray Hubbard did the same in 2021-22.
