Mississippi Senate race 65 votes apart, no automatic recount
Democrat Scott Colom led Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith by 65 votes in Mississippi's Senate race on Wednesday, per AP, with about 43,000 votes left, NBC News estimated. State law has no automatic recount, and a recount needs a court order, WDAM reported. Mail ballots and voter ID proof for affidavit ballots are due on November 10, per the state calendar.
