Hinds County says counting will resume this morning. This is the key to Colom winning Mississippi. Anything remotely close to the margins he’s been receiving or better and it’s simply over and Mississippi will elect their first democratic senator since John C. Stennis in 1982. It will likely be some combination of provisional and mail ballots which often skew more democratic and as you can see those margins could lean even greater than the already 80/20 percentile margins. If just 80/20 then that alone nets Colom 5400 votes… 85/15 > 6300 net votes 90/10 > 7200 net votes 75/25 > 4500 net votes 70/30 >3600 net votes Out of all of those scenarios none are really helpful to help Hyde-Smith in this race And I’m not sure how many of those are apart of the 10-15k estimated mail ballots left according to the Colom campaign which will skew Democratic for Colom. There is nowhere near close to enough rural R votes out there to make up that kind of deficit(especially when you consider everywhere in MS over +20🔵 this election) Everything in the data is pointing towards MS electing their first black senator since Blanche K. Bruce in 1874. A historical night for the Democratic Party could be capped off with a historical moment based on what the data shows. Not what R’s were likely expecting but the +10-20 trend across much of America is shaking up the 2026 mid terms darkhorsepressnow.com/news/2…
