@AarronFleming with the best lede on a political story I have read in quite a while.
The Daily Memphian Verified account @DailyMemphian 2d
The @DeSotoCountyMS election commission recently moved into the old Trustmark Bank building to sift through ballots that will determine the political color of Mississippi for the next six years.

County election commissioners toiled away quietly behind computers at the front of the former bank Friday, Nov. 6, giving intermittent updates to the handful of observers seated in plastic white chairs at the back of the room.

Thousands of those ballots in DeSoto as well as across the state are what is standing between Democrat @scott_colom  pulling off a historic defeat of @SenHydeSmith in the traditionally Republican stronghold or giving the national GOP a win after a night of significant losses.

Colom, if elected, would be the first Black man the state has sent to the U.S. Senate since Reconstruction and the first Democrat since 1982.
