Did you have to cast an affidavit ballot in Mississippi on Nov. 3 because of problems you ran into at your voting precinct?

Voter inactivations surged ahead of Tuesday’s midterm elections, the first since the MS Secretary of State’s Office authorized unverified data from the credit bureau Experian for counties to use statewide when cleaning their voter rolls.

A small but truly joyful part of this week has been getting emails from authors, from Tennessee and Georgia to New York and even New Zealand, saying they are watching our senate race with excitement. All eyes on Mississippi!

This is a pattern we are seeing across Mississippi: Scott Colom is winning affidavit ballots by a significantly larger margin than in the overall vote.
For Cindy Hyde-Smith to retake the lead, she needs to be outperforming in affidavit ballots instead. She's not.
Democrat Scott Colom is overperforming among affidavit votes in the race for U.S. Senate in Alcorn, Chickasaw and Itawamba counties.
That meant Hyde-Smith only netted 71 votes from affidavit ballots across the 3 counties—despite big overall leads in two.

another beautiful day to be a hater!!! reuters.com/business/autos-t…
Watson on why he won't support early voting in MS:
"It’s important to have rules and regulations around elections because this is one of the most important rights we were given by our founding fathers and the men and women who fought across the world for our freedom and safety."
Yet another reason Secretary of State @MichaelWatsonMS needs to go! I can't wait to replace him next November.
Completely disingenuous and blatantly ignorant to cite the military and ignore the actual men and women who fought and died for the right to vote in Mississippi history.

Seeing some bad info on social media about voters having to return to the courthouse because they cast an affidavit ballot. The ONLY affidavit ballot voters who need to return are those who forgot his/her ID when they went to the precinct and were given an affidavit ballot. They have 5 days to do so.

A voter who did not have ID at the polls has 5 days to go to the Courthouse and show ID. If anyone has any problem obtaining an ID or needs a ride to the Courthouse please contact me immediately at [email protected].
After the voter shows ID the ballot WILL COUNT.

Here's a photo of Blanche Bruce, the last Black person to represent Mississippi in the U.S. Senate. He was born into slavery in 1841.
Scott Colom is currently up 43 votes over incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith.
