http://www.wapt.com/news/central-mississippi/jackson/mississippi-holding-presidential-and-house-primaries-tuesday/38397854So the press there is reporting. I'm not sure what that means for the Democratic candidates. There are also reports that Republican ballots were late getting to some polling places.
Mississippi is a strange state when it comes to voting. That's for sure.

Either way, I think Hillary will win big in MS.

(45,319 posts)Low turnout usually suggests a great deal of disinterest, apathy. It's my least favorite of all election outcomes.

(146,317 posts)I was just checking news on turnouts in the two states that are voting today.
I'm not drawing any conclusions from the information.

(1,021 posts)and a Clinton candidacy in the general will seal the low turnout deal. Whatever you feel about her candidacy, she is just incapable of generating the enthusiasm required to produce a high voter turnout on the left. If she wins the primary, the only thing that will get people voting for her in large enough numbers is sufficient fear of the GOP candidate--and that's not a great strategy. We're potentially in for quite a bit of trouble.
