Mississippi Senate Race Remains Too Close to Call as Ballots Are Counted
The Mississippi US Senate race remains undecided nearly a week after the November 3 midterm elections, with Democrat Scott Colom narrowly leading Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith by a few thousand votes. Colom's potential victory would end a 44-year Democratic drought in the state. Election officials continue counting outstanding absentee and provisional ballots, which could determine the final outcome in this closely watched contest in a traditionally Republican state.
