Senate GOP’s campaign arm demands Mississippi election officials preserve affidavit ballots
Republican lawyers want counties to keep provisional ballots separate as Mississippi officials count thousands of outstanding votes in a Senate race decided by fewer than 2,000 ballots.
- As of Thursday, The Associated Press has not yet called several major midterm contests, including Senate races in Mississippi and Alaska, and the gubernatorial race in Kansas.
- Historic victories in Texas and Ohio helped Democrats secure control of both chambers of Congress, while Republicans faced what Republican Texas Senator Ted Cruz termed a 'Watergate-level repudiation'.
- In Mississippi, Democrat Scott Colom leads GOP Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith by 1,145 votes with 96% counted, while Democrat Cindy Holscher holds a 7,045-vote lead over Republican Ty Masterson in Kansas with 99% of ballots processed.
- Alaska's Senate race remains tight, with Democrat Mary Peltola leading Republican Dan Sullivan by 637 votes at 74% reporting; the state's ranked-choice system may delay final results for weeks as outstanding mail ballots arrive.
- Democratic House Whip Katherine Clark confirmed plans to run for majority leader, while Cruz blamed the party's losses on a failure to address the high cost of living.
