The Mississippi Senate election, with 948,648 votes counted, Scott Colom (D) leads Cindy Hyde-Smith (R) by 1,138 votes.

I’ve analysed the outstanding votes using county-level election results, historical affidavit-ballot data and Monte Carlo simulations.

Here’s what I found. 🧵

Mississippi Senate: AP has Colom up 65, DDHQ up 1,864. Which is right? We checked county reports: AP is missing batches counties already released. Local figures match DDHQ in Warren, Clay and Lowndes, putting Colom's floor near +1,240 before affidavits. #MSSen #Mississippi

A nice article on @HJHansford's study comparing 2 surgeries for LBP. A long road, and complicated analysis, but interesting result - more complicated surgery not better than a simpler alternative and no evidence of subgroups.
