Democrats pick up seats in Mississippi House, Senate due to court-ordered special redistricting elections

Mississippi voters in eight state Senate districts and two House districts went to the polls Tuesday to elect new representatives to send to Jackson ahead of the start of the 2026 legislative session.

Six state Senate seats and one House seat were on the ballot as a result of court-ordered redistricting to allow for more majority minority districts in the Legislature.

"You go to a grocery store, you have to give ID" 🤔 Wow, American small government conservatism has changed quite a bit … Even the most repressive totalitarian regimes don't require an ID to let you shop for groceries.

Trump: "After last night's results the decision facing all Americans could not be more clear. We have a choice between communist and common sense. Does that make sense to you? Common sense. It's common sense or communism. Look back 1,000 years. It hasn't worked."

Predictably – the Trump/Republican response to last night won’t be to try to earn more votes, it will be to suppress the vote.
