The U.S. Senate race in Mississippi between Democrat Scott Colom and Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith is still too close to call as officials count provisional ballots.

This looks like it’ll be decided by just a handful of votes. Democratic challenger Scott Colom is ahead by 65 votes in the latest count in this Deep Red State.

      I suspect that that image of Scott Colom grinning ear-to-ear is pretty accurate. I mean, when he started that race, his odds must have been extremely long.

      Even at the election, looks like he was considered a long shot:

      Despite polling aggregators predicting sub-10 percent chances of Colom winning the seat, the race was too close to call on election night or the next morning.[64][65]
