Mississippi Senate race separated by just 43 votes with 96% counted
- With more than 96% of the vote reported, Democrat Scott Colom holds a razor-thin 43-vote lead over Republican incumbent Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in Mississippi's U.S. Senate race, according to NBC News projections.
- Colom, a district attorney in northeastern Mississippi, challenges Hyde-Smith, who has held the seat since her 2018 appointment in a state where Democrats have not won a Senate seat since 1982.
- Election officials are processing approximately 15,000 provisional "affidavit ballots" and roughly 3,600 mail-in votes that could determine the outcome, as Mississippi law provides no automatic recount mechanism for federal elections.
- Both campaigns are preparing for a potential legal showdown as county election boards verify outstanding ballots before Mississippi's November 13 certification deadline.
- A victory for Colom would make him Mississippi's first Democratic senator in over four decades and the state's first Black senator since Reconstruction-era Republican Blanche K. Bruce.
