As Mississippi vote count drags on, voters say they were made inactive in error
Many voters in Mississippi's close Senate race said they were caught by surprise when they learned they would have to vote by affidavit because their registration was marked inactive.
The Mississippi U.S. Senate contest between Democrat Scott Colom and Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith remained undecided as reports came in over several days. KSBW reported that officials were counting provisional ballots, while Public Radio Tulsa said it was unclear how many ballots remained outstanding. KFOX reported that officials were still counting and that Delta organizers had helped put Colom within reach of a historic win; the reports did not say who would prevail.
