An interesting side quest for those closely following the #Mississippi Senate results: The race featured an independent candidate named Ty Pinkins who is a black former Democrat. Did he take votes from Scott Colom or Cindy Hyde-Smith? He says the latter, and might be right:

#Senate in #Mississippi is another race we're all watching, of course. The state government kicked a bunch of blue voters, probably mostly Black people, off the voter roles. They had to vote with provisional ballots. The Nazis are going to try to challenge those-- I mean, they'd stop digging the hole they're in if they were wise, but Nazis are the definition of unwise. Anyway, I'm waiting to celebrate on that too until it's done and dusted. In the meantime... #midterms

#ScottColom was to be nominated #Federal #Judge in 2022. He was blocked. By #Mississippi #Republican #Senator #CindyHydeSmith Her reason: #Colom's support for #transRights So he ran for the #Senate If he wins, he will be the first #Black Senator from Mississippi since #Reconstruction (1875!). #MS is 37% black, highest % of black residents of any #USA state Now look at this #vote tally so far And tell me your vote doesn't matter
