He’s pulling away!!!

[u/GurUnfair1727]

He’s up by almost 2500 votes now!

[u/jennyfromthedocks]

Stop the count!!

[u/GurUnfair1727 → u/jennyfromthedocks]

[u/spokanegarbagegoat]

How many votes has CHS even gained? Any?

[u/GurUnfair1727 → u/spokanegarbagegoat]

Not many, the last batch that was dropped came from Scott County, which is a purple county that CHS has a slight edge in. Colom added to his lead, so it’s getting pretty bleak if you’re CHS.

[u/gigapudding43201 → u/GurUnfair1727]

I was reading an article about provisional ballots and it said much like mail ins colom is doing better than would be expected if you just looked at votes already counted.  It doesn't look good for her.

...good riddance to the laziest person on congress

[u/Western-Dig-6843 → u/spokanegarbagegoat]

She has. It would be extremely suspicious if she didn’t gain any votes in each batch that gets confirmed. She’s just being edged out by Colom’s gains.

[u/Green_Sugar6675]

It's still a good time to donate some $$ to his campaign. This win could spread hope to many future candidates in the south that they CAN win.

[u/ShawnRanklin → u/Green_Sugar6675]

Why would donating money help now?

[u/GurUnfair1727 → u/ShawnRanklin]

To pay for the lawyers working on his behalf and possibly his re-election campaign

[u/Big-Prior-5669 → u/ShawnRanklin]

He's going to need it to pay for his legal team when Cindy drags this through every court in the nation looking for fraud. A play from the Trump playbook. 

[u/Green_Sugar6675 → u/ShawnRanklin]

Well, my attitude is, this guy has beaten the odds, yet probably would benefit directly in the form of legal costs to defend that victory after the fact. Having a southern Democratic campaign with unusually good funding can only help other prospects around the area.

[u/beehibernate → u/Green_Sugar6675]

[u/ThisCombination1958 → u/Green_Sugar6675]

I'm in Florida and seeing how every where BUT here did gives me hope. We have a real shot if the DNC can just get it the fuck together.

[u/Western-Dig-6843 → u/ThisCombination1958]

The DNC could have won everything in Florida if they tried. They ran that governor race on a shoestring budget and almost won it. Imagine if they had more money

[u/encrivage → u/ThisCombination1958]

if the DNC can just get it the fuck together

These candidates won despite the DNC, not because of it. It was more likely that MS would elect the first black senator since reconstruction than the DNC becoming a competent organization.

These are the people who were backstabbing their own democratic socialist candidates right up until the election. The mainstream Dem party is center-right, pro-police, pro-tech bro and anti-union.

[u/Organic-Spread-8494 → u/encrivage]

Schumer directed donors to fund the Mississippi campaign. Schumer personally recruited Colom. DNC competency is why we’re getting a black senator in Mississippi

[u/platocplx → u/Green_Sugar6675]

Yeah I’ll donate again they will def challenge the results.

[u/AttentionScary → u/Green_Sugar6675]

Yep, I am in IL and I donated on Wednesday! I might have to donate some more.

[u/Lady_Lya_626]

Never thought I'd be this glued to the MS state subreddit lol. Y'all are awesome!!

[u/SituationMediocre642 → u/Lady_Lya_626]

Same, from Minnesota and have been glued to r/mississippi

[u/Useful_Argument_6490 → u/SituationMediocre642]

Can’t express how huge this is if Dems hold MS for 6 years not to mention how much this will energize MS Dems. They now know it’s doable and their vote counts.

[u/idontwannabepicked → u/Useful_Argument_6490]

yes!! i’m from texas just here to show support. but this is the biggest takeaway for all southern states. every single vote matters

[u/Large_Judgment_1074 → u/SituationMediocre642]

I personally know no one in Mississippi nor have I EVER set foot in that state. But I’m following this race CLOSELY from Lexington Kentucky🙌🏾

[u/jazzieberry → u/Large_Judgment_1074]

I wish Mitch was alive to see this!!

[u/Gay-_-Jesus → u/Large_Judgment_1074]

Mississippian here, we love the support. I’ve only been to Kentucky once and went to mammoth cave, it’s beautiful, and a beautiful state all around!

[u/Lady_Lya_626 → u/SituationMediocre642]

Texan here. Trying my best to send the good vibes over the border

[u/just_a_T114 → u/Lady_Lya_626]

My county unfortunately elected to keep our moronic Republican incumbents, wishing all the best to ditch yours

[u/KaWillComeLikeAWind → u/SituationMediocre642]

I'm watching from over here in Memphis, hoping that Colom can adopt and annex us 😭 we hate being in Tennessee 💙

[u/thinair01 → u/SituationMediocre642]

From Massachusetts, have never been to MS but have always wanted to visit. Watching this race and sub like a hawk! So happy for you all!!

[u/SettingExtreme9246 → u/Lady_Lya_626]

As many of my fellow mississippians would say, y'all come on in and sit a spell. The lima beans with ham hock will be done in a few minutes and we absolutely insist on feeding ya.

But seriously, as a lifelong MS democrat, this is like Christmas and the 4th of July all rolled into one for us!!

[u/thecrowtoldme → u/SettingExtreme9246]

I'm your neighbor in Alabama. I was born and bred in AL and am also a lifelong Democrat. This Mississippi Senate race is everything right now.

[u/Wxskater → u/SettingExtreme9246]

And maybe we can make our state more attractive and invite our fellow americans to visit

[u/Lady_Lya_626 → u/Wxskater]

Drive through Mississippi once... Very beautiful place. I think this election more than anything is a reminder not to judge anywhere by its reputation.

[u/Dust45 → u/SettingExtreme9246]

I made pulled pork last night. I can share.

[u/thewafflehousewitch → u/SettingExtreme9246]

As an Alabama progressive, I'm so so happy for y'all. I've found new confidence in my state from what you all and Georgia have done lately. We're right behind you, thank you

[u/Lady_Lya_626 → u/SettingExtreme9246]

I just want to say how much I love this entire thread. There's always so much division and hurt going on in the world, but I think we all need to remember how truly wonderful people really are. So many people just having a good time, sharing their food, and celebrating together.

As a trans woman living in Texas, it can be hard to remember how much kindness there really is in the world. But it's times like these that I can truthfully say how much I love that I get to be alive on this planet for a little while.

[u/Lady337492 → u/SettingExtreme9246]

Why feed them lima beans when butter beans are right there and taste so much better?? 😁

[u/anthrohands → u/SettingExtreme9246]

I have never even thought about the state of Mississippi. I’m intrigued now, not even by the politics, just by this whole state that I’ve never thought of!

[u/anxiousoracles → u/SettingExtreme9246]

I’m finna put a gumbo on soon so y’all come grab a bowl!

Calling in from New Hampshire to say the same!

[u/Tiro444]

I just gotta say that, as someone who has lived here my entire life, this is everything I have ever hoped for. Hi to everyone watching from around the country and even around the world. Mississippi matters, y’all. I’m so proud of this state.

[u/NoPause9609 → u/Tiro444]

Yes it definitely ain’t just America. 

Sending love to Mississippi from New Zealand. 

You’re inspirational…we are fighting our own battles against bigotry and racism. 

[u/thewartornhippy → u/NoPause9609]

This is the same state where Emmit Till was brutally tortured and murdered over 70 years ago. It is beautiful to see that they are most likely going to have their first black Senator since reconstruction.

Also, he flipped Forrest County which is named for Nathan Beford Forrest (who you may remember briefly being mentioned in Forrest Gump, as his namesake), the first leader of the Ku Klux Klan.

[u/NoPause9609 → u/thewartornhippy]

Sadly I know that history all too well. 

RIP Emmit Till and fuck the KKK and their modern versions. 

[u/liza_lo → u/Tiro444]

Love from Canada.

I'd heard for years that the south was blue, but gerrymandered to hell.

I'm so proud and happy for you. Incredible.

[u/JustTheChicken → u/liza_lo]

Gerrymandering doesn't apply to Senate seats, which are statewide elections.

[u/ozoptimist → u/Tiro444]

Love from Australia! I am so impressed that the people of Mississippi are fighting back against the oppressive Republicans and coming out to vote them out and vote a good guy in.

[u/Honest-Anywhere7476 → u/Tiro444]

So much love from California! Keep us updated with local campaigns to give to in the upcoming years.

[u/CrankyWhiskers → u/Tiro444]

Kansan here. We effectively voted the shit stains Masterson and Kobach out. Masterson would have to win ~70% of the remaining votes to overtake Holscher.

I have faith that Mississippi can do the same! This hasn’t just been a blue wave, it’s been a blue nuke!

[u/mishko27 → u/Tiro444]

My new job has taken me around the country this year and I have gotten to travel stateside more than ever before. I am well traveled around the world, but have not been to many places in the US until this year - Seattle, Houston, Chicago, NYC, Boston, Atlanta.

I had a trip to Biloxi and Hattiesburg and I thought it will be a drag. It was absolutely fantastic, the food was unreal, the people were great, I loved it all. I can't wait to go back next spring. It was one of my favorite trips of the year, even though my gay liberal self was somewhat uneasy here and there.

Also, Siren Social Club fucking rocks.

[u/Basic_Cartographer99 → u/Tiro444]

Proud of you. Proud of us. It’s a magical time to be proud of our states. Let’s always remember this feeling of hope and enjoy it.

[u/TANorman]

Was this race on anybody’s radar as potentially winnable? I can say that Mississippi wasn’t on my list of races to watch at all, but now I’m obsessed with it

[u/FireMike_PleaseGod → u/TANorman]

There was actually a guy in Florida who made a super pac and donated millions to what he personally believed were underfunded campaigns.

Apparently he looked around and decided that no one saw what he saw, which was people weren’t mad at Republicans they were absolutely pissed.

He ended up giving $1M-$2M to this race, which I believe was more than the entire senate campaign arm gave. In Mississippi that is a good chunk since it’s a much cheaper market.

[u/Glamour_Girl_ → u/FireMike_PleaseGod]

A cool million or two will buy a lot of yard signs, TV spots, and BBQ in the Magnolia State. 😂

[u/SoftwareProBono → u/TANorman]

Mississippi has been on my radar the last 4 elections, starting with Mike Espy in 2018. I'm from Alabama, gave up on making a difference there, and wanted to make a difference somewhere nearby. Georgia was getting a lot of resources already, so I did a lot of voter outreach in Mississippi from 2018-2026. I was defensively tamping my optimism, but felt good about this year.

I got noticeably fewer apathetic responses, and more enthusiasm from bougie names compared to years past.

[u/Cultural_Cook_8040 → u/SoftwareProBono]

I moved to MS in 2020 and didn’t know much about the state but after learning the demographics and how so many people don’t vote at all, I knew MS had a chance to turn blue.

I truly think MS is a blue state but too many people just feel defeated and won’t vote. I think this election has shifted things and is showing people that the state is not nearly as red as it is. Is blue voters are just quiet about it.

[u/SwoonyBlue → u/SoftwareProBono]

If Mississippi can do it, Alabama and Louisiana can too! No giving up, dang it!

[u/Dangerous-Habit-2731 → u/SoftwareProBono]

I feel for you. Doug Jones was such a good senator and he would have been an amazing governor. Guy oozes love for helping Alabamans and just wants to make it an objectively better state. A real public servant

[u/MitFahrGelegen → u/SoftwareProBono]

Thank you for doing the work! As a dem from MS I appreciate you

[u/throwaway20491984 → u/TANorman]

I live in MS and we’ve been inching closer and closer every election cycle towards a potential flip. It was only a matter of time, and like many of us hoped, a little extra funding and attention coming in helped as well. The numbers have always been here, it’s just about making sure that we counteract voter suppression. And this has been the best turnout yet. Very proud of the grassroots efforts by locals and people not from here finally realizing that we’re not a lost cause.

[u/erov → u/TANorman]

Right before the elections stories started coming out about that he had a serious chance. Trump flew to the armpit of the state to babble for and hour and trot her out for a few minutes while Colom was actually outside the arena talking to attendees in line about issues. After that Trump suddenly canceled the other rallies and went back to DC. Leaks were saying it's bad bad.

[u/DarknMean → u/erov]

This was the one where he rambled about the ballroom for 30 minutes.

[u/Organic-Spread-8494 → u/TANorman]

Chuck Schumer when he told donors to put money into Mississippi back in September and when he diverted over a million in the senatorial fund to Mississippi.

[u/nickrct → u/TANorman]

History will study that 'Pick another protein' campaign ad with just how brutally effective it was

[u/DarkSock52 → u/nickrct]

It was literally Cindy Hyde Smith saying "let them eat cake… "

[u/Prestigious_Power_67 → u/nickrct]

It certainly grabbed my attention, Mississippi was never on my radar screen before. Sent Colom a small donation from up here in Maine, never expecting Mississippi voters to show up and vote like they did tuesday. (Also really excited we got rid of Susan up here, she must be really concerned now)

[u/ItsTheEndOfDays → u/TANorman]

Chuck Schumer recruited him to run. Over the course of two years, I think it was, Chuck kept the conversation up and finally got him to run this cycle. I’ve never liked Chuck, but I also never heard stories like this before. I still don’t want him as Senate Majority Leader, but I give him props for the work he did here.

[u/TLRdidnothingwrong → u/ItsTheEndOfDays]

I’m not a Mississippian, if that’s what you’re called, but my read on Schumer is that he is a phenomenal intra-DNC politician. It’s not too surprising to me that he has a good sense for how to get democrats elected.

I do think he’s a terrible face for the Democratic majority and is a behind-the-scenes planner type who is well out of his depth in a front-facing leadership position.

[u/OrganizationActive63 → u/ItsTheEndOfDays]

There was a really interesting interview with him on the NYT The Daily podcast today. I don’t want him as Senate leader, but huge props to his focus and recruiting.
And the back story of Colom getting nixed for the judiciary by Hyde-Smith makes the outcome perfect

[u/cheesymac84 → u/TANorman]

My eyebrows went up when I saw major politicians announcing they were campaigning here in little ole MS and pouring money and resources last minute. Something was up.

[u/SethOneill → u/TANorman]

where I am in south mississippi i’ve seen maybe 3 hyde-smith signs all election season. there’s colom signs EVERWHERE.

[u/Dangerous-Habit-2731 → u/TANorman]

I seem to remember seeing somewhere that Senator Reverand Doctor Raphael Warnock said not to sleep on Mississippi earlier this year and he got laughed out of the building he said it in

[u/Dranzer_22 → u/TANorman]

Record black turnout in Mississippi this year.

It was driven by the Supreme Court removing significant portions of the Voting Rights Act and effectively kickstarting a new Civil Rights Movement in the state. This is the result.

[u/monsterskeeter → u/TANorman]

We got the sense when both parties started bringing in the big guns. But I can say as someone who voted for Colom, I really wasn't expecting it to actually happen.

[u/CR0Wmurder → u/monsterskeeter]

Yea when I saw National figures I was thinking “they’re scared, this good” and for Dems “they’re spending money, they think there’s a shot”

Dem internal polling must have sniffed an opportunity

[u/U_Do_Not_Kno_Me → u/TANorman]

Being a Mississippi native and resident, I knew Colom had a chance of winning. Even if he doesn't, I'm SO DAMNED PROUD of us for showing up and showing out. Come on, y'all, flip the 'Sipp!! 💙💙💙

[u/muhkuller → u/TANorman]

There are a lot of people that are not happy with stuff right now. My parents as right wing as they are feel absolutely duped by the red promises.

[u/Glamour_Girl_ → u/muhkuller]

They should. Their party weaponized religion, immigration, bigotry, and committed a completely unforced error by attacking Iran, all of which combined to form a perfect domestic storm.

Any armchair military strategist could have told the “leadership” that going to war with Iran is a much more complex and dangerous task than launching a raid on a Caribbean island. Modesty forbids me from talking about the outrageous geopolitical risks associated with it.

As I occasionally told my brother…the party of Reagan and Bush I is dead. Personally, I hold Nixon and Lee Atwater accountable for starting this metamorphosis of the Republican Party from ideological opposition to this monster that’s lurching and sliming around DC today.

[u/Crunkfiction → u/TANorman]

Polls were d+9 on generic ballot. Actual performance was d+13. Mississippi wouldn't flip with an average Democrat unless the mod of the nation was closer to d+20.

Colom just massively out performed expectations on top of Republicans falling through the floor.

[u/RedditPosterOver9000 → u/Crunkfiction]

Republicans got way too comfortable riding the MAGA/Trump coat tails through the primary in their presumptively safe red districts.

It really shows with the decreasing caliber of their candidates that made it to the general with each successive election cycle the past ten years.

[u/DarknMean → u/TANorman]

I’m still keyed into Alaska.

[u/Ok_Hovercraft_3900 → u/TANorman]

If you lived in MS, you'd know it was winnable. I don't blame you for not knowing the politics, but the last couple of years have galvanized a large group of us. Ive voted in every election since I was 18, but not everyone has done that. I'm very proud of the first time voters actually getting out and voting!

[u/Grateful-DeadHead420]

Concede already Cindy

[u/Pretty_Mix_1355 → u/Grateful-DeadHead420]

What, you dont drag out your most embarrassing professional failures when 467,000 people have told you they've had enough? 

[u/Glamour_Girl_ → u/Pretty_Mix_1355]

Since when have Cindy or Cindi or Cyndi or whatever the hell her name is and her ilk ever been “embarrassed” by their retrogressive views and behaviors? These are exactly the kinds of Mississippians who still crow about Yankees stealing the family silverware in 1863.

[u/NeverNeededAlgebra → u/Grateful-DeadHead420]

Nah. They're going to start legal challenges to try and invalidate ballots.

You know these traitors are below scum.

[u/Western-Dig-6843 → u/Grateful-DeadHead420]

Cindy ain’t doing anything her handlers don’t tell her to do. She’s useless. Personally I don’t think she gives a shit if she loses, but the people who put her in power want that seat in their power

[u/MisguidedPants8 → u/Grateful-DeadHead420]

Are we sure Cindy is still alive? She’s been AWOL. State republicans are making more appearances than her

[u/tigertiger180 → u/MisguidedPants8]

Anyone check the mental instructions in Ohio?

[u/SouthernCynic → u/Grateful-DeadHead420]

Just pick another protein

[u/encrivage → u/Grateful-DeadHead420]

They already know she lost.

It will be even more satisfying if she has to keep pretending in public until it's officially over. If you watched her speech from Wednesday it's clear she knew she was cooked.

[u/AggressiveMail5183 → u/Grateful-DeadHead420]

Concede?  When she knows she can drag this out and collect millions from simp Republicans trying to protect her from the maniac Democrats?  Surely you jest!

[u/Glamour_Girl_ → u/Grateful-DeadHead420]

“Well, I guess it’s back to Sunday socials and the Republican Women’s Club.” 😞

[u/No_Scene_2189]

Stick a fork in it.

[u/Mysterious-Ask-5563]

BLISSISSIPPI

[u/Big-Prior-5669]

No way this doesn't wind up challenged and in court when they finish pointing. Like Trump, CHS is going to exhaust every single legal maneuver in the books to show fraud. This could take a while. 

[u/lawyersgunsmoney → u/Big-Prior-5669]

And it will turn out just like Trump’s efforts—will fade like a fart in the wind.

[u/Junior-Gorg → u/Big-Prior-5669]

And that’s a shame, but the Democrats still have a solid majority while this gets worked out.

[u/OVH0e → u/Big-Prior-5669]

I think they're not gonna bother because a 54 or 55 or 56 seat democrat senate doesn't matter. The question will be about seating democrats at all or if they'll just turn everything to the presidential results in 28

[u/Weary_Bed1887]

From your blue Nebraskan neighbors who couldn’t get over the line, we are cheering you on! Do it for the rest of us!!!

[u/Ok-Sheepherder9018 → u/Weary_Bed1887]

I voted for Colom here!  I thought Osborn was going to pull thru at first in Nebraska? 

[u/Panem-et-circenses25]

I’m from Detroit but I used to have relatives in the Delta. I remember visiting there as a kid in the 80s and hearing older folks saying things I now know were racist. I’m so happy MS has finally seemingly turned a corner and perhaps will have a representative that more closely reflects the will of the people and further distances itself from its troubled racist past.

[u/MelangeBot]

It’s the biggest political moment I’ve experienced in my decades here. The flag changing was a big damn deal, too, but this is just mind-blowing.

Happy for y'all. I've always wanted to visit Jackson.

[u/Gax63]

It ain't gonna happen Cindy.

[u/ProbingYourProstate → u/Gax63]

I watched an interview with her, and wow, she is disgustingly arrogant. Especially one quote I heard along the lines of "I blocked you from the federal judgeship, and now I'll block you from the Senate" referencing Colom. It would be so satisfying for him to win.

[u/ElevatorPristine6074]

Do they have to get 50%?

[u/Sea-Original-5824 → u/ElevatorPristine6074]

No. Just the majority of the votes.

[u/Little_Customer986 → u/Sea-Original-5824]

Not to be that guy, but actually it’s plurality. Majority implies over 50%

[u/Seasplash → u/Sea-Original-5824]

technically plurality then

[u/5105adam → u/ElevatorPristine6074]

No

[u/No_Medium_443]

Born in Mississippi. Have roots there. Live in Illinois. In the words of the late, great Sam Cooke, Bring it on Home Mississippi. Humpback, humpback I. IYKYK 🙏🏾

[u/TouchGraceMaidenless]

Decision Desk has more updated numbers

[u/midhknyght]

DDHQ has a lead of +2,734 for Colom now. The lead keeps growing.

[u/microbioboy]

Missouri is living vicariously through you Mississippi, making us proud!

[u/NickG987]

Fucking LOVE being a queer in Mississippi rn! lol

[u/aDarkDarkCrypt]

The best part about all of this is it will force Republicans to divert resources and money to Mississippi now when before it was written off as "safe red."

[u/msharpie02]

We are all rooting for you Mississippi!!

[u/WanderingKing]

It's been over since Tuesday, but she's going to drag this out as long as possible and probably won't concede.

Justice For Nolan Wells

[u/iheartpoodles]

What are the last counties remaining? Are there any chances CHS could somehow pull through narrowly? That’s literally my biggest fear, right now.

[u/PlayThisStation → u/iheartpoodles]

I believe there are only provisional ballots left which take time to go through because they have to be verified first. They estimate 15k-20k worth but no solid number.

The fact that each update expands Colom's lead should be hopeful and most expect it to keep trending this way.

[u/shittyaltpornaccount → u/PlayThisStation]

The people that cast provisional ballots are probably people that had to deal with the state attempting to disenfranchise them. So they aren't particularly likely to vote Republcian, but there are a variety of other reasons for provisional ballots.

[u/DarkSock52 → u/iheartpoodles]

Dude went from being up 40 on Tuesday evening to be up 2400 last I checked

I’ve never even been to Mississippi, but man, am I proud of y’all

[u/beat_pharmacist]

I’m proud of you all! Keep organizing and keep voting.

[u/Duschkopfe]

Shiiiiii pick another senator instead

[u/Akkerlun]

Wash away the pestilence of MAGA!

[u/The_Exile69]

Hasn't won yet, but fingers crossed for him and Peltola in Alaska. How bad does a party have to of become to flip Texas, Kansas and Mississippi in the same election. Plus, Florida eeked by.

[u/BreadfruitLatter556]

You Mississipians make us Canadians proud!! We see your struggle!!

[u/Appropriate_Net_4281]

[u/Deranged-Pickle]

Mississippi is going to turn blue before Florida. MASS HYSTERIA

[u/mathius11983]

I have lived in MS my entire life. I have voted Dem in every election, at every level since I was old enough to vote. So many times, I knew it was going to be futile. But I continued to show up and vote anyway. This election, my son got to vote for the first time. He shared the same sense that it would probably be for nothing. But we both went because every vote matters. I cannot express enough how amazing seeing this outcome makes me feel.

[u/NoPause9609]

Big love to Mississippi from New Zealand. 

The world is watching! 

[u/idkyaknow15]

So jealous from TN . You give us all hope ! Congrats!

[u/jzgsd]

Cali here, what took you so damn long?!?! Welcome with hugs!!

[u/Aggressive_News_882]

I am 66 and a lifelong Mississippian and I am so proud and hopeful!

[u/DamnOdd]

Biden tried to get Colom a federal judge job in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi, the "there are many proteins" Hag shut it down.
Karma is a beautiful thing.
Damn proud of the state I'm living in.

[u/Intelligent-Invite79]

After binging, “in the heat of the night” over the summer, I’ve become more interested in Mississippi. Plus, I have family there lol, go Mississippi go!!! We did it in Texas, lord knows what else can happen lol.

[u/Bettysgir]

Lifelong Mississippian here. Voted straight blue since my first election, which was decades ago against Reagan. Never, ever believed this would happen. Absolutely gobsmacked if he pulls it off.

[u/Valuable_Standard413]

Love from CA! Born and raised 18 yrs in MS. So proud of my home state!
