I’m not saying anything rigorous, but I think Occam’s razor says that Democrats winning races nationwide vote by 10-20 points, including in all the red states where Republicans have complete control over the elections, isn’t something that can be realistically rigged. When the deciding races are close within a few percentage points then sure, it’s…

If we have 55 Senators, we need only 12 Republican Senators to vote their own self-interest on impeachments and other important business of the People. Go Scott Colom!!! ❤️🤍💙

Colom widens lead over Hyde-Smith with thousands of Mississippi ballots uncounted The race for Mississippi’s Senate seat remains dramatically close: Scott Colom (D) pulled further ahead of incumbent Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R) in a state that hasn’t elected a Black senator since Reconstruction. Colom was leading incumbent Hyde-Smith by 1,813 votes…

You are clearly not a teacher. Give me 28 kids and they might be able to actually learn!

I love that for Cyndy KKK-Smith. This is proper retribution for her blocking Colom's judge appointment during Biden's admin.

You knew the bastards wouldn't take this one lying down. Scott Colom is in front and widening the lead? Then of course the GOP wants to throw out ballots! https://www. democracydocket.com/news-alert s/gop-kicks-off-bid-to-throw-out-votes-in-mississippi-senate-race/

Mississippi needs a hand up. I know a lot of people write it off as hopeless. But this is why this is SO important. There is so much promise in Mississippi. This has been the most interesting political event for me. I'm rooting for Scott and I'm rooting for Mississippi.

Scott Colom’s lead against Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Miss., has increased to 1,724 votes but Democrats aren’t taking any chances with their nominee’s campaign. Read more from Burgess Everett:

And when Trump goes on his inevitable revenge "tour" against Republicans (sitting house and Senate members) for the perception they made him look like a "loser", which his narcissist petulant toddler brain can't handle- getting 12 to flip will just get easier and easier.

It was. Texas turned blue like a supernova exploding. That by any measure was unexpected. Remember the young man in the white Cowboy hate here on Bluesky talking about agriculture and putting a check on datacenters in videos? He is the Agriculture Commissioner Elect in Texas now.

And I thought Texas turning Blue was special!

Sweet justice for Scott if/when he wins. He would’ve been a judge if Hyde-Smith had not blocked his nomination.

Specially since that witch denied him the federal bench seat!!!!

In the history of epic wins this will be the most epic!!!!🤞

Mississippi DESERVES this man. Long past due💙💙💙💙💙

Its now Colom: 467.049 Hyde-Smith: 465.085. 97 % counted.

Great news! Let’s hope it keeps up. Not only the first Democratic senator in quite a while, but would it also be the first African-American senator?

And the first black senator from Mississippi in 150 years.
