Mississippi's Election Chaos: Advocates Rally Black Voters Amid Ballot Shortages

Civil rights groups in Mississippi have been working to mobilize Black voters after the overturning of a Jim-Crow era law that had reduced the power of Black voters. However, some polling sites in Hinds County experienced ballot shortages, causing long lines and delays. Election officials attributed the shortage to a mix-up in ballot orders due to lack of training and the creation of split precincts after redistricting. Activists and experts argue that the shortage and delays, intentional or not, could dampen efforts to get more voters of color to cast ballots. Despite the challenges, civil rights groups vow to continue ramping up efforts to get out the vote across the country ahead of the 2024 elections.
