Mississippi and Alaska Senate Races Hang in the Balance Amid Mail‑In Ballot Uncertainty
Close counts and a Supreme Court ruling on post‑Election Day ballots leave both states’ outcomes in limbo, with Democrats holding narrow leads.
The Mississippi Senate election is too close to call, with Democrat Scott Colom and Republican Cindy Hyde‑Smith as the two contenders, and CNBC reports that Colom narrowly leads Hyde‑Smith.
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the legality of mail‑in ballots received after Election Day, and CNBC says the Mississippi result could be decided by those late ballots.
Similarly, the Alaska Senate race is too close to call, and CBS News reports initial counts show Democratic candidates with razor‑thin leads over Republicans, while CBS’s Fin Gómez discussed the next steps.
