Elias Law Group intervenes in Mississippi as Scott Colom's lead grows
Proud that Elias Law Group is representing the next Senator from Mississippi, Scott Colom.
You're a true American hero
Lots of us are supporting him financially to assure a fair count. If she sues, we will do more. Thank you for helping him!
I just donated to the Colom Legal Fund!
They are being represented by the best!
Another turning point for the deep south. Do not attempt to trample on the people's right to vote...as if racial gerrymandering wasn't enough, they try to disallow ballots. Elias Law Group will teach them a lesson♥️
Thank you, Mark Elias! We WILL prevail!
🚨 BREAKING: SCOTT COLOM’S LEAD JUST GREW AGAIN IN MISSISSIPPI! 🔵 Colom: 467,233 🔴 Hyde-Smith: 465,146 COLOM NOW LEADS BY 2,087 VOTES! His lead keeps growing as more ballots are counted. Mississippi is on the brink of electing its first Democratic U.S. senator in 44 years!
I’m so interested in this race, I’ve checked the results multiple times each day since the election. 🤞🏻🔵
I may be finally returning to my birth state if this continues!
It’s all but impossible for Colom to lose given the distribution of uncounted ballots in counties & who leads in each. I’m telling you, the outcome is virtually certain mathematically. This doesn’t have the force of a mere political earthquake- it has the force of a huge meteor striking earth 💙🙌🏼
Just unbelievable & total karma for Cindy Hyde Smith. She kept him from being able to be a judge and she’s the one who joked about being front row at a lynching when she was running in 2020. She’s clearly a racist POS and it’ll be great to have an intelligent black man take her place! 
Source on this? AP isn't showing any updates. My fingers are crossed.
How many more votes does he need to actually win? Come on man.
467,234 Mississippi... 467,235 Mississippi... 467,236 Mississippi... ...
A Democrat 💙 Senator in Mississippi????
Oh, snap! A Blue Mississippi sounds excellent.
I'm getting very close to posting the clip of Sidney Poitier slapping the old racist in IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT.
His lead is growing! #sheshed
Get ready to celebrate again!
A man of African heritage being elected in Mississippi is ground-shaking news, not even three generations after the Klan murdered three people there for simply trying to get people of colour access to the voting rights that were supposed to be guaranteed to them by law.
Lawyers are posturing in the Mississippi Senate race, even as the ballots are being counted. Here’s what’s happening: substack.com/home/post/p-...
@marcelias.bsky.social and firm are doing the unseen work we Americans will never be able to pay or even properly thank. Some day they will be.
Marc Elias and his team of attorneys are heroes. I swear to heaven above they have saved our country in this moment.
Thank you, Joyce, for breaking this down.
Time to send more money to Marc Elias’ Democracy Docket.
We have Marc Elias, good luck with that.
Thanks for shedding light on this important challenge to free and fair elections. We are so thankful @marcelias.bsky.social for your tireless efforts in preserving the integrity of our elections.
Worth reading this substack post. It clearly explains Mississippi election law & why Hyde-Smith's requests should fail. Shout out also to @marcelias.bsky.social of @democracydocket.com who is fighting this on behalf of Colom.
Thanks to the @eliaslawgroup.bsky.social and other civil rights crusaders working on behalf of voters in #Mississippi.
My campaign, alongside the DSCC and Elias Law Group, Lisa Ross, and our great team of local attorneys, are leading the effort to ensure every eligible voter is heard and I am confident that when votes are counted, we will flip this seat. Stay tuned for more updates from our team!
Yes!! The nation is on pins and needles, waiting for you to become the next Senator from the great state of Mississippi!!
@demsabroad.bsky.social are also encouraging MS voters to cure their ballots!
Can not wait to celebrate your victory.
We are rooting for you up here in Memphis!!
Mark Elias is thee best! Good luck Senator-elect! 💙
Rooting for you in Scotland
This is insane: according to The New York Times, Scott Colom won 24% of the white vote in Mississippi, a 19-point swing from 2024. This includes: · 30% of the white college vote (D+17) · 27% of white women (D+17), and · 39% (!) of white voters aged 18-29 (D+41!!)
Some more bonkers stats here: white voters in the South aged 18-29 are now essentially voting like northern Democrats. ('24-->'26 swing in parentheses): · Alabama: 45% (D+38) · West Virginia: 47% (D+41) · Kentucky: 47% (D+39) · Florida: 52% (D+28) · Georgia: 52% (D+32) · South Carolina: 52% (D+38)
make the white south 70% hitler instead of 90% hitler and you've suddenly got a ballgame
