Nearly one week after the midterm elections, the Senate race between Democrat Scott Colom and Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith is still too close to call.
Ballots are still being counted in Mississippi, which comes after the massive blue wave that swept across the nation on November 3.
As of Monday morning, over 97% of the votes have been counted with Colom leading slightly with 49.1% of the vote to Hyde-Smith’s 48.8%.
This could be a very historic outcome if Colom wins, because the last time a Democrat was elected a U.S. Senator representing the Magnolia State was in 1982, when incumbent Dem. Senator John C. Stennis won re-election.
As soon as the results are verified, Newstalk 98.9 will update this story.
