Mississippi Senate: Colom, Hyde-Smith gird for ballot legal fight in razor-thin race
The Mississippi Senate election could be determined by the mail-in ballots received after Election Day, whose legality was upheld by the Supreme Court.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the Mississippi Senate contest as still unresolved and extremely close, with CBS News calling it a toss-up and CNBC describing a razor-thin race. CBS foregrounds the overall competitiveness of Democrat Scott Colom’s challenge, while CNBC is alone in emphasizing a possible ballot legal fight and the role of mail-in ballots received after Election Day.
