"Mississippi Governor's Election: Ballot Shortages, Reelection, and Voting Failures"

TL;DR Summary
Ballot shortages in Mississippi's largest county during the governor's race have raised concerns about voter disenfranchisement and the failure of election officials. Some polling places ran out of ballots, causing voters to wait for replenishment. Activists and local leaders argue that this failure is particularly shocking in a state with a history of civil rights struggles. Lawsuits were filed to keep polling places open later, and while the governor's race was won by Republican Tate Reeves, the issue highlights the importance of ensuring fair access to voting for all citizens.
