Mississippi Senate Race

Why does this race still have votes to be counted 3 days after Election Day? And we wonder why people have zero faith in our elections. Third-world countries can count millions of votes overnight while it takes weeks for us to count less than 50k ballots.

To be fair it has probably always taken this long but the outcome has never been in doubt like this before

Tons of provisional ballots … I have been in MS for the past 8 years and this is the first time I have encountered this up to this point it’s been a simple and cut and dry process. Show id taht gets checked against rolls for name and address get paper ballot sit and bubble in the scan tron then feed it into the reader with collection bin.

I just assumed there was a recount already in progress but I checked the race updates and it said about 96% of the votes have been counted.

What are the odds the democrat will win? I'd say 100%, maybe more if they take much longer to count the votes. Our national election system is a joke. We're going to get what we deserve.

Provisional and absentee ballots. Voter rolls were cleaned up and apparently lots of people were removed and had to cast provisional ballots. Additionally I have heard numerous absentee ballots cast without signatures on the envelopes and people have 10 days to come in on those. At least that’s what I hear.

You should try to monetize it.

If people show up at the polls without ID.. they have 5 days to return and show ID for the vote to count. They are given time to perfect the ballot. That is one reason why not all ballots have been counted.
In the past these ballots wouldn't have had any effect. But due to 300 thousand plus idiots sitting home this election... it now is.

We aren’t blue. The democrats took advantage of a terrible Republican incumbent and capitalized on the accidental drowning in the coast plus the police shooting…where ironically the police station was torched Friday night. It all fell into place for them.

At least these long, drawn out vote counts always seem to favor a Republican victory…..

It's usually not a thing because wins are decisive so race gets called and candidates concede.

Because the SOS hired Experian last year or year before for "voter integrity".
Experian totally screwed it up. Trial run in Fayette County last year and it was a disaster. Went ahead with it anyway.
The result is many people who went to vote and had voted regularly for years suddenly could not vote because they were not in the system although they were on the rolls. Hence, they had to vote affidavit.
We have 17,000 affidavit ballots to be counted by hand statewide.

Provisional and absentee ballots. The margins are normally big enough that they won't make a difference, but this time the vote is too close to call the race without counting them.

Not only that but a Jackson County elections were a shitshow. The election commissioners in Jaxco bought new computerized voting machines. There were problems from the start. Machines weren’t working, they did not always respond to touch, and they added a step to the process because voters had to insert blank ballots, vote, wait for a printed ballot to emerge, and then still run that printed ballot into a separate machine, which kept jamming. There were very few machines available at each precinct, and it caused a tremendous backlog. Some precincts also ran out of paper ballots. Some voters had to stand in line and wait three hours to vote.
Jackson County is red. You know who can’t afford to spend three hours on a weekday waiting to vote? Working people. People with families and responsibilities. Elderly people. People who would likely have voted red.
The Jackson County Election Commissioners had one job, and they failed miserably. Voters in neighboring counties (such as Harrison) did not have these same problems.

It's crazy, I saw a news story on this today. They have 17,000 provisional ballots they have to go through. Most of these are people who at the time they showed up to vote were not on the voter rolls or some other issue popped up. They fill out a provisional ballot and affidavit. Poll workers now have to go through each one to determine if the ballot can be counted based on whether the person is registered to vote etc...
Word on the street is that this is the first time Mississippi has seen this number of provisional ballots.
Sounds like something fishy is going on.

Mississippi law allows for ballots postmark on election day to have up to five business days to arrive to the counting/election center

That is true. Every CHS or GOP operative here has referred to the Jackson County election as a "shite show"

The Dem won, concede and move on. Mississippi is 55% white, so Republicans are an endangered species.
