Democrat Scott Colom has a razor-thin lead over Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, in a state that hasn’t sent a Democrat to the Senate in nearly 40 years and no Black person to the Senate since Reconstruction.

Tuesday is the deadline for voters to resolve any ID issues on provisional ballots and also for counties to receive absentee ballots postmarked on or before Election Day. Counties must certify their results by November 13.

Both Colom and Hyde-Smith have assembled extensive teams ready to observe and potentially challenge ballot-counting procedures ahead of Mississippi’s December 3 deadline for certifying the results.

CNN's Annie Grayer reports and George County, Mississippi Court Clerk, Chad Welford, explains the remaining count in his Republican-leaning district. Also, CNN's Kate Bolduan speaks with Mississippi journalist Ashton Pittman identifies ballots yet to be counted in a Democrat stronghold.

This is the first time in my life that I've been proud of Mississippi

@picyay4563Imported4h ago

Unnecessary drama

@charlieg4732Imported4h ago

Wouldn't be surprised if she suddenly catches up with a lead ..... 😐

@rukam3Imported4h ago

The independent candidate, would your ancestors be happy? What a shame.

@diongullion7638Imported4h ago

I’m going to project Scott Colom the winner and next United States senator from Mississippi

@rfreund719Imported4h ago

Straight talk , thanks

@yelpingbassImported4h ago

Presidents Day should be renamed to No Kings Day.

@herafterhoursfilmsImported4h ago

Call it already Mississippi

@hitopangaImported4h ago

Uhhhh y’all are taking too long. He already won, stop being so dramatic. 😂

@tommystahrImported4h ago

You know how to destroy the GOP completely? Get Christians to learn the Golden Rule to "Do unto others as you'd have done to yourself." That includes politics. They don't treat the LGBT, women & immigrants like they'd want to be treated. Save the church, save the world. Too late. 2Thess2:3-12 fulfilled. The church is fallen, Trump is lawless, they believed THE LIE. Rev 18, America burns. Then Zechariah 14, the LORD returns. It's another EXODUS. Nuclear holocaust is coming 😢Turn off the world, turn on Jesus' word. John 13-17 says His word is LOVE ❤️

@atg2186Imported4h ago

Or maybe Cindy blocked this man from a job and people didn’t like that. Or maybe Cindy told Mississippians who have a median household income of just above 59k dollars to choose another protein in response to the rise in beef prices. On top of all the other things that’s drastically cost more. After covid, people were struggling to keep up. They could keep up but there aren’t any savings. Once this administration came into office, people cannot keep up. People are drowning. The cracks are visible. When you say things like that to people, it’s like a slap in their face and a “I don’t care about your issues” attitude. But it definitely sounds like Mississippi is stalling. They are counting these votes slower than a dang snail. We already heard a lot of people in Mississippi expressing their fears that this process is sketchy.

@dougjenkins2000Imported4h ago

I'm getting sketched out with MS.... they haven't updated in 3 days. They're gonna try and pull a quick one on Colom.

@williamdavis8855Imported4h ago

Cyndi High Prices where yoooou aaaat

@bignosedogImported4h ago

Where's Cindy? Out looking for another protein.

@petechapmanw9tImported4h ago

These midterm results across the country are because of felon 47 period!!!

@allfathersImported4h ago

I find it hilarious that they can’t count when it’s this close. It’s almost like they’re trying to put off the inevitable

@susanmillerw2pImported4h ago

Southern Miss --- big diploma mill. Huge decrease in enrollment in recent years. CHS was just a really un-energized, coronated senator. She didn't do public things. Most Mississippi voters likely could not have told you her name on election day. She is just that much of a ghost here in Mississippi. Scott brings a lot of energy and engagement to this likely role. I think he will be a great representative of MS as a senator.

@afnanmajidh9iImported4h ago

Oh It's done, might as well project it and get it over with CNN. You heard that no absentee ballots have yet been posted from Hinds county where Jackson is, which is the largest county and Colom has an almost 80% vote from that county so the guy is right, he is gonna win this by about a 5000 vote margin

@otrvirtualeventsImported4h ago

Colom for the win! 🎉<br>💙💙💙

@mrsyoungdolph3755Imported4h ago

It's obvious he's the winner, she can't catchup

@michaelj9w5iImported4h ago

Why can't Repubs admit that for 2 years we saw daily a sickening chaos of sycophants lying down while Trump ran wild. That's why they lost

@unclekauffeeImported4h ago

Mississiflippi…<br>Donnie did that. <br>Wanted Greenland so bad…<br>Turned Texas into Blueland

@virgilwimberly2071Imported4h ago

They know Scott is gonna win, quit the stalling.

@pender25Imported4h ago

She's going to have some explaining to do at the Thanksgiving dinner.

Justice for Nolan Wells🇺🇸📚. An Investigation into Nolan Wells’ death 👀🙏🏿

@sanseiryuImported4h ago

The Blacklash against rigging districts by remapping, tossing out registered voters, closing polling stations etc...brought out an increase in Black voters all across the South, enough to provide a margin of victory in an inordinate number of races. The GOP thought they were being clever, trying to rig the election FAFO! Swing voters voted against the GOP, Latino voters angry with ICE enforcement returned in force to vote Democrat. Non MAGA Republicans tired of Dementia Don's non stop destruction and loss of respect for the Office of the Presidency, finally had enough. Colom will be Senator.

@verolawson3898Imported4h ago

🤞🤞🤞🍀

@natevf2jsImported4h ago

Why does it matter what percent u voted in as long as you eligible

@cmac7384Imported4h ago

Smith needs to concede. Stop dragging this out. Show some class.

@integragemi7234Imported4h ago

Why people didn't vote for the 3rd option. Since Rep and dems are both Bad.

@tinot5093Imported4h ago

If the GOP is leading, they'd reject all these affidavit/absentee ballots

@legalize1982Imported4h ago

even Mississippi is turning blue, WHAT THE ACTUAL F

@coolinwiternestImported4h ago

Hyde is a racist made a comment about being front row of a hanging

@moveezy5591Imported4h ago

The president of the United States is saying the election was stolen and it's just another comment lets you know how low this country has sunk

@arthurdentzaphodbeebImported4h ago

Stop saying it's too close to call. That's pure bullshit. Colom's lead just gets bigger and.bigger. Colom is the new Missiflippi Senator🎉

@funnyeverydayvn3nqImported4h ago

Why are the GOP candidates almost never normal people like the one interviewed here?

@splatdoImported4h ago

America makes me p!ss. How can an election take so long to count?

@beesg1qfImported4h ago

@desmondtbomas3968Imported5h ago

@richh68Imported5h ago

Well done good people of Mississippi we're proud to have you.

@amxhotrodImported5h ago

I'll save you time, the precincts have to report their results this Friday, 11-13-26.

@shawnamariey1zImported5h ago

Can't wait for Scott to be our new Senator. Republicans have had their Jack Boots on our necks way to long. White, black Latinos we are 😩 tired.

@lolsarcasmworksImported5h ago

Pick another Senator.

@adambriceland6588Imported5h ago

The race is not too close to call! They just won't call it!

@wadeflores6978Imported5h ago

Pick a new protein? I’d rather pick a new senator!

@gaijingurun9bImported5h ago

The clue is in her middle name. She's Hyding

@bihsaidwhatnow2392Imported5h ago

My granny said, "Thank you Chad Welford, George County, Mississippi, Circuit Clerk for giving explanations of the process (we, those of us who don't live in Mississippi) can understand." "May the Red Sea be parted with a BLUE WAVE that points to a BLACK Tsunami."

@gaijingurun9bImported5h ago

A law used to crook past elections is coming back to haunt Republicans. No automatic recount

@pittdog231Imported5h ago

So happy for all the Mississippians that have never had a voice!

@teeb7315Imported5h ago

Mississippi is the majority of Black Americans. They just don't want to believe or say those Black people voted.<br>Black people voted that's what happened. <br>Of course, they rejected Jackson State students 🙄.

@griffini19Imported5h ago

What fools. Can’t count the in 6 days!!! Great job MS. NOT

The republicans lost these midterms because of Trump and the insanity that follows him.

@elingles2854Imported5h ago

This is a direct message to ALL world Presidents.
<br>The reason for the fall of the British Imperial Empire is this.
<br>Duplicity and Deceit by privileged Beta males.
<br>Almost every nation on earth said this about us 70 years ago.
<br>Obviously we working-class Brits had no idea what these late Presidents were actually saying about us.
<br>I remember as a child the anger of the Indian people in India.. I as a child could feel the hate from the poor people. So what do the upper classes do to remedy this hatred ? Well.. Invite them into Britain and Canada by the Millions.
<br>I also felt this in many African Countries and Aden.
<br>So here is the Kicker !!
<br>Never did we believe that our own would turn on us.
<br>Only now we understand the hate our colonies had for us.
<br>But again it is the same old play book of my working-class people. To trusting and respectful to them until it happens to us. Stupidity does not live in the realms of reason. We only have ourselves to blame.
<br>These Toffs have ruined my once Great Country.
<br>They truly do not feel the anger of the British people. Believe me we know exactly what went on the US election.
<br>Believe me when I say this.
<br>We working-class Brits have and want nothing to do with them.
<br>Nada. Zilch. Zero. Nothing.

That’s not even close lol. Colom is clearly the winner here. This is just theater at this point. Come on.

@maykevin5Imported5h ago

Get ready for the phone call from Trump, "We need to find 3,000 votes, Please find 3,000 votes ;) ;) Wink Wink"

@girlinred273Imported5h ago

It's called stalling if it was the other way around it would be over days ago they said what they said .....sore loosers

@daa__soImported5h ago

CHS has gone backaards since the 3td. Everyone knew she was going to loose, she's racially motivated, now everyone can see it. Thank goodness that kind of attitude is going away.

@ybmia1Imported5h ago

They are so racist they won't admit she lost 😂😂 Rope sales going up all around Mississippi 😂2,574 so far😂😂

@sgtseussImported5h ago

As a Mississippi voter, Cindy Hyde-Smith has never been popular here. You could run a toaster for Senate and it'd likely win if it had an R after its name... None of the other Republican seats struggled to win, it's just her. Colom ran a great race, and Hyde-Smith is a terrible candidate otherwise this wouldn't have been close.

@soundwaveenjoyerImported5h ago

Evet Einstein haklıydı belkide yer çekimini oluşturan şey itme kuvveti ile benzerliğiydi. Bence benzerlikten öte bir şey bu. Yer çekimi itilmenin ta kendisidir. Biz sadece güneş sistemine bakıyoruz bu konuda .belkide bizi yanıltan bu kumaşın içine çökmüyoruz .bence hız ve itilme sebebi ile kumaşa yapışıyoruz. Evren hızla genişliyor. Tüm galaksiler bu hızla ilerliyor..eğer evrenin kıyısında olsaydık bunu daha net görebilirdik .bütün çekim alanlarının bu itme sebebi ile oluştuğunu anlayabilirdik. Aynı dünya dönerken hissetmediğimiz gibi.bu genişleme hızını ve etkisinide hissetmiyoruz .Bir diğeri tüm hızla ilerlerken evren . Karanlık madde ile yavaşlatıldığını anlayabiliriz işte uzay kumaşındaki çökmenin sebebi budur. Ve bu ayrıca karanlık maddenin hep varolduğuna işarettir. İster enerji değin ister madde bu evrenim dışındada içindede hep vardı
