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.
Would you rather they not count every ballot with a race this close?

MS is now a blue state. Whites are barely a majority and will be a minority in a few years.

Obama did ads to get out the vote in Mississippi. Bill Clinton attended and spoke at rallies. Democrats knew they had shot. Sending Washington elites would have been a mistake
Obama and Clinton got at least an extra 30,000 people out to vote and probably a lot more. There are still southern white people that like Clinton.
The protein ad got voters out. One of the best political ads ever
Colom ran a great campaign

I've been repeatedly assured this only happens in blue state shitholes

Nah that’s just what you vote for

Dems voted at nearly Kamala levels in the state and Republican turn out was 350k less.
People simply didn't show up.

Every time they start to count the votes they read the name Cindy Hyde Smith and they all get the dry heaves.

How many Canadians does it take to do a recount?

Cindy didn't campaign worth a damn. In September of 2023, some of Wicker's people told me how the campaign was going to be. They were not going to get ambushed like Cochran did. They fundraised like crazy, worked the state. When Wicker came home, he went around the state. In other words, he worked it for a whole year.
Cindy didn't do anywhere near the kind of campaigning or fund raising. Her Chief of Staff, a real dullard, interfered with the campaign repeatedly. She doesn't like public appearances so he talked her out of doing quite a few. Even now, she is hidden away somewhere while Scott is seen all over the place.
Sad part is her polling went down AFTER Trump's visit.

Military votes still incoming.

It's Mississippi, they barely know how to count.

They are still counting every election in the country. The "projected winners" we see on TV come from a combination of exit polls and other predictive data about what areas are left to be counted and who they will favor... but that's enough to make most candidates double-check internally and if that's accurate they concede the race and we think it's over. Postmarked ballots are still arriving, especially from overseas and military bases.

As I said earlier, 17000 affidavit ballots.
You have to check each one, make sure it's signed by the poll worker or manager, and meets other criteria before counting it. Very tedious.

And it will flip blue, but I'm sure that's just purely coincidental! Nothing to see here.
Perfectly secure elections folks.

Did you read my OP? I want every ballot to be counted, but an electoral system that takes days or weeks to count a fraction of the votes that many countries count in a night is not a trustworthy system, regardless of which political party wins or loses. Why is it that this country has more resources and better technology than ever before and yet elections results were far more efficient 40 or 50 years ago?

Correct—he did run a good campaign, and he ran to spite Hyde Smith.
My neighbor works for Wicker…Wicker gave his blessing for Colom to become a federal judge. Guess who didn’t…
Colom is a good dude. Has two daughters and from Columbus. He’s not a far left nut job. Plus, like it or not, a lot of the black vote was because of the Nolan Wells situation. Not to mention that CHS has not done anything since being in office.

Voter rolls were cleaned up
They weren't cleaned up. They outsourced their data to a credit reporting company and, to no one's surprise, it was filled with errors. So a bunch of people had to cast provisional ballots but the labor is on the voters to prove their records so you have to give them a few days to do that.
