Hood filed a lawsuit today in Hinds County Circuit Court seeking an injunction to require the special election for Lott’s replacement to be conducted within 90 days.
On Monday, Barbour named U.S. Rep. Roger Wicker to replace Lott.
In a Dec. 20 proclamation, Barbour set the Nov. 4, 2008 general election as the date for the senatorial special election. If a runoff is required, it will be conducted on Nov. 25, the governor said."
