Mississippi erases some restrictions on absentee voting help for people with disabilities
SUMMARY: Mississippi has amended its restrictions on absentee voting assistance for disabled or illiterate individuals after a federal judge blocked the initial law, citing a violation of the Voting Rights Act. The revised legislation now aligns with the federal act, clarifying who qualifies as a caregiver and can aid in ballot submission. Disability Rights Mississippi and the League of Women Voters, among others, initially sued the state over the restrictive list of eligible ballot helpers. Although the 2023 law aimed to prevent “ballot harvesting,” critics said it impeded legitimate assistance. The update ensures broader access to absentee voting while adhering to federal guidelines.

SUMMARY: Mississippi’s only major-league affiliated team, the Biloxi Shuckers, was eliminated from the 2025 Southern League playoffs after a 4-2 loss to the Montgomery Biscuits in game two of the Division Series. This marks the second consecutive year Montgomery has ousted Biloxi. The Shuckers finished the season 74-64, winning the South Division first-half title. Manager Joe Ayrault, who battled and beat stage 3 colon cancer during the season, praised the team’s effort. Despite an early lead from Jesus Made’s homer and Blake Burke’s RBI single, Montgomery rallied in the eighth inning to win. Biloxi’s next season starts April 3, 2026.

SUMMARY: The NCAA has approved eliminating the spring transfer period for FBS and FCS college football players, following a recommendation to modify the recruiting calendar. The new system introduces a single 10-day transfer portal window from January 2-11 for undergraduate and postgraduate players, replacing the current 20-day December window and 10-day April window. Coaches can still enter the portal within 30 days if their coach leaves or is fired. Players in postseason games after January 7 have a five-day transfer window post-final game. The rule aims to reduce leverage use for NIL deals and takes effect in the upcoming cycle, despite some coaching concerns.
