AH. K. Thanks for the heads up on that.
Will be interesting. Here’s hoping!

Wow; this thing could drag on for awhile. Thomas L. Carey is the third guy running in this race; he could draw enough votes to throw this into a run-off.

And an interesting thing is that, for any federal office runoffs, Mississippi will be using “ranked choice ballots” for overseas and out-of-state military voters to use. See details in the linked article. Our military voters need to clearly understand that they will get those “runoff” ballots at the same time they get their primary ballot and need to complete that and return it along with their primary ballot.
