Awesome.

[gespb19]

lol if the Democrats go to a runoff in their race after they've been pushing Slater for months. They deserve it for nominating awful candidates.

[gespb19]

Gray leading Short 49-27 in early votes. Slater at 23.

A Jackson truck driver leads the Democratic primary. Amazing.

[gespb19]

I hope he wins.

According to politics1.com and southernpoliticalreport.com Gray is a retired firefighter. Ron Gunzburger at Politics1 probably got his information from that second site, so they could both be wrong.

Getting my info from this.

Looks like DeSoto has booted 3 incumbents.

[gespb19]

Mayor Mary losing Madison Co with over 50% of the vote in there.

[gespb19]

Gray leading almost every county: https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=2015&off=5&elect=1&fips=28&f=0

He has no website, no campaign, and raised $0. WTF.

If he wins, the Mississippi Democratic primary is officially the biggest joke in America.

Democratic Party in this state needs a massive shakeup. Complete joke.

Yeah. At this point, Slater will need lots of good luck to even force a runoff, and she was supposed to easily top 50%. This reminds me of TN nominating Charlie Brown last year.

Except the Dem leaders trotted her around as some great candidate and called her the "next Kirk Fordice" (not sure that is a good thing). It was pretty much assumed that she would win the primary easily and she is losing to an f'ing truck driver.

Still a good number of votes in Hinds County/Jackson where Slater is winning. Could go to a runoff.

[gespb19]

Only 4 precincts left in Hinds.

This link is also good for results. Just click on "results"

The entire leadership of the state Democratic Party should resign over this.

Un. F***ing. Believable.

Agree. Rickey Cole and Brandon Jones aren't what the MS DEM party needs.

[gespb19]

Hinds County locked their keys in the courthouse so they won't be able to count the last 5 precincts tonight. Issaquena, Tunica, Holmes all still haven't reported. Couple other counties with some boxes out too.

[gespb19]

Can the GOP take the Northern Public Service Commission District in November? Or it the Democratic incumbent popular and electable to Northeastern Mississippi?

Yes, he's actually Elvis' 2nd cousin.

[gespb19]

Barbara Blackmon beats Kenny Wayne Jones by 55 votes in SD21. Recount coming.

[gespb19]

Look forward to the debate!

Wow, that's awesome.

Yep, I really want him to run for gov in 2019.

I still can't understand that Gray person. Seems to be "some dude" in purest form, but - managed to win absolutely different (Black, white, rich, poor, urban, rural, mostly liberal, mostly conservative) and so on parts of the state. Something must be behind all this)))

And, if i understand correctly, "establishment" did rather well in state Senate races, while "insurgents" (of tea-party type) did better in state House primaries (almost exclusively because of DeSoto). Am i correct?

And one additional note - with Hale gone there is one less conservative Democrat in state Senate. Wilemon seems to me being the only one, who may be called one..

Establishment did well in state senate but Sojourner and Watson still won their elections avoid a runoff. House tea party did well with several upsets in DeSoto and one in Madison.

[gespb19]

^ Thanks!. If i understand correctly - "some dude" at top of the ticket may adversely affect some close legislative races in November, so forecast for November somewhat tilts into Republican favor...

Absolutely. This is a complete disaster for MS Dems.

In State House District 121, the two democratic candidates are tied at 323 votes each with 100% of the vote in. How is the winner determined there?

Not sure what you are seeing. I saw Crawford winning with 57% or 58% of vote.

I'm talking about the Democratic numbers. The Dawkins/Pearse race.

Oh, sorry. Wow, that is interesting. I don't know, runoff?

[gespb19]

AP calls it for Gray.
