Senate GOP’s campaign arm demands Mississippi election officials preserve affidavit ballots

  • The National Republican Senatorial Committee asked election officials in all 82 Mississippi counties to preserve and document affidavit, or provisional, ballots while the Senate race remained undecided.
  • Democrat Scott Colom led Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith by fewer than 2,000 votes after 96% of ballots were counted, according to the Associated Press.
  • Up to 3,600 outstanding ballots could arrive within five days if postmarked by Election Day, while counties had 10 days to certify the results.
  • Colom’s attorneys called the Republican request unlawful, while Hyde-Smith’s campaign said the remaining votes would support her reelection.
