Link is here. The Mississippi Free Press’ coverage has been better than anyone else’s that I’ve seen, and I think they deserve your attention for the work they’re doing here. They’ve been giving updates at least once per hour, sometimes much more, and they’re actually talking with as many election officials as they can get in touch with across the state.
Why YSK: This is a hanging thread of possibly one of the most pivotal elections in modern US history. It’s looking increasingly likely that Colom will win, and this might sate your residual desire to doomscroll while actually keeping you informed.
"Rankin County Election Commissioners will return to their day jobs on Monday, and come back at around 5 p.m. each weekday that counting continues. "
It should be a state holiday or something for these people. I get that having volunteers is best for this, but make it easy for them.
Same goes for voting too. Should have a special public holiday - or use an existing one to make it easier for as many as possible.
I’ve seen enough. Colom wins.
I just checked the results again on AP. He’s been up by <100 votes the whole time. Now he’s up by about 2,500. And so far as I can tell, most of the uncounted votes are in Hinds County, where Colom is leading by 60 points.
It’s the gift election year that keeps on giving. It’s almost a shame the diesel never hit 8 or 9 bucks. We might have had a super majority in the Senate.
NYT shows every single batch dropped.
