Revenge is a dish best-served at the ballot box

Posted by Spider-Pig on Fri Nov 6 13:14:49 2026

Colom received support from Senator Roger Wicker, who returned his blue slip (a Senate tradition that gives the two senators from the candidate's state the ability to block or approve the candidate), but on April 4, 2023, it was announced that Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith would not return her blue slip, effectively blocking his nomination.[49][50][51] Hyde-Smith cited as reasons for her opposition that Colom allegedly supported letting transgender students participate in girls' and women's sports and that he had received money from a PAC funded by George Soros.[52][53]

Note that reporting of ballots has come to a complete halt in both MS and AK.

Surely this must mean that the Republicans running those states are conspiring on ways to construct enough fake ballots to make sure that their candidates come out ahead from their current position of being slightly behind. After all, isn't that what late ballot arrivals are all about?

PS. For those who are sure to misunderstand. This is sarcasm.

Not in Mississippi. NY Times reports a batch dropped 7 minutes ago, which actually lowered the margin by exactly 1.

Hmm. I must have misread something. MS results are very slowly but steadily dribbling in.

As of 4:41 (last report, they are closed for the day) Colom leads by around 2500 votes, with around 31,000 ballots uncounted.

Mississippi does not do recounts. They have no legally defined mechanism to do so. This count, when completed, is final.
