Racist Cindy Hyde-Smith Wins Mississippi Runoff

I knew it was a long shot, but I really hoped that Mississippi could pull out a win for Democrat Mike Espy just to put the state on a path to (finally) putting the Civil War behind them. But alas, no.

Projection: Cindy Hyde-Smith (R) has defeated Mike Espy (D) in the #MSSEN runoff. But she's done so w/ an underwhelming margin for an R in MS.

And here's one of the problems:
