@itvnews: The race for Mississippi’s Senate seat has taken longer than most, but why? The Democratic candidate Scott Colom is leading by a tiny margin against Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith. The state does not have an automatic recount process for tight races. Several thousand provisional ballots, which are ballots where there’s a question over the person’s right to vote, will be counted, and the state has until November 10 to resolve these. But legal challenges could be expected, so it could be weeks, or even months, until the result is clear. #midterms #politics #mississippi #vote #usa

I just learned that Mississippi doesn’t have early voting. They’re panicking that a black man is winning because they didn’t expect that many people to turn up and vote!!!

I saw that Mississippi will count mail in election votes if they come in up to five days after Election Day, so we may not know until Monday or Tuesday

did you have the correspondent fly out to Mississippi for this? Genuine question. I can't imagine itv has a permanent presence there, and before exit polls it wasn't known it'd be so tight
