“Mississippi voter turnout skyrocketed this year — bringing Democratic Senate candidate Scott Colom close to an unlikely win — despite perhaps the nation’s most restrictive voting system.

“Over 950,000 votes had been counted in the race as of Thursday morning, with 10,000 or more still to come. That’s compared to just 710,000 total votes in the last midterms — when Misssissippi ranked dead last in the nation for turnout.

“It’s an increase of an eye-popping 35%.”
