"Democrats just flipped a Senate seat in Mississippi. Scott Colom defeated Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in a race that came down to every ballot. Republicans fought to block many of those ballots, from the RNC’s Supreme Court challenge to late-arriving mail ballots to a purge that pushed thousands of voters into affidavit ballots. Marc Elias breaks down how Colom won and what Hyde-Smith can still try."...
