Coverage so far

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.
