The first opinion is in Watson v. RNC, the mail-in ballot case. The court holds that nothing in the federal election-day statutes requires ballots to be received by Election Day in order to be counted.

Big thanks to @JeremyEnglandMS and the Senate Elections Committee for passing our much needed campaign finance reform legislation. Look forward to hearing the debate on the Senate floor. Appreciate the support and collaboration from @LynnFitchAG and her team. While there’s more work left to do, excited to see SB 2558 clear the first hurdle. Let’s get it done, #MSLeg!

We continue to see campaign donations be an issue in Mississippi politics. When will our state get serious about campaign finance reform?

We’ve continued our push for campaign finance reform and have made some progress thanks to the #MSLeg. However, two very important pieces need to make it across the finish line. 1. EVERY elected official should file electronically on our new CFR system, from dog catcher to governor. 2. EVERY campaign account should be held in a recognized financial institution. These two pieces would have been incredibly helpful in the last two federal investigations. Let’s get it done, #MSleg.
You've long been a proponent of campaign finance reform @MichaelWatsonMS . This scandal should push #msleg to actually getting something done. @JasonWhiteMS @DelbertHosemann

This is important information for those impacted by the recent storms.
Municipal Primary Elections will be held on April 1.
You can still vote if you are temporarily relocated.
With the recent severe weather, it's important to remember Mississippians may still securely cast their ballots in this year’s municipal election and have their voices heard! Review our handout on voting and natural disasters at the link below👇

According to Rule 40 and Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, the 5th Circuit Panel's opinion will not take effect until at least November 18th, meaning this will not affect the November 5th General Election.
My team and I will continue to digest the opinion and explore all available legal options.
