Mississippi Senate count remains unresolved as Colom’s reported lead widens

Scott Colom was reported ahead by 2,574 votes with 97% of expected votes counted; mail and affidavit ballots remain outstanding, and campaigns are monitoring legal options. A report says more than $50 million has been wagered on the race and prediction markets now assign Colom roughly 99% odds, but market prices are not election results. The count, certification, and any recount remain unresolved.
