Mississippi general election 2023: What to know before heading to the polls
SUMMARY: Mississippi's General Election Day is approaching, and Secretary of State Michael Watson has provided reminders for voters. The deadline for in-person absentee voting is November 4, while mail-in absentee ballots must be postmarked by November 7 and received by November 15. Voters who cast an affidavit ballot due to voter ID requirements must present an acceptable form of photo ID by November 15. Voters are required to show photo identification at the polls, but those without acceptable ID can cast an affidavit ballot. Campaigning within 150 feet of a polling place entrance is prohibited. Camera phones are not allowed inside polling places. As of Monday, 36,000 absentee ballots have been requested in Mississippi. In-person voting will take place from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and voters in line at closing time are entitled to cast a ballot. Problems at the polls will be referred to the authorities for investigation. The My Election Day resource provides personalized election information and tracking for absentee and affidavit ballots.

SUMMARY: During National Police Week, Mississippi Congressman Michael Guest introduced House Resolution 1226 to express support for law enforcement officers. This bipartisan resolution honors law enforcement members, particularly those who have died on duty, including 238 fallen first responders commemorated in 2023. Guest emphasized the role of police as community protectors. The resolution has 86 co-sponsors, notably Mississippi Republicans Mike Ezell and Trent Kelly. Activities in Mississippi, including the Department of Public Safety's annual memorial ceremony, recognize the week, commemorated since 1962 following a proclamation by President Kennedy.

SUMMARY: In 2011, as Mississippi's Secretary of State, the speaker advocated for a Voter ID law, which critics expected would fail legally. Contrary to these expectations, Mississippi implemented the law without facing legal challenges from the Department of Justice. Drawing a parallel, the speaker, now the Lt. Governor, suggests similar success could be achieved in healthcare reform. A Senate proposal aimed to extend healthcare to those earning below 138% of the poverty line, including a work requirement. Despite concerns, there is optimism that the federal government would approve this plan. The state has also achieved funding milestones for education, infrastructure, and healthcare. The views are the speaker's own, not SuperTalk Mississippi Media's, which invites readers to subscribe to its newsletter.

SUMMARY: Mississippi influencer Christopher Townsend, known as “Topher,” is one of eight suing the U.S. over a law threatening TikTok with a ban unless its Chinese parent company ByteDance divests. The former Air Force member and Trump supporter, with two million TikTok followers, claims the ban infringes on First Amendment rights, as the platform is vital for self-expression, advocacy, and livelihoods of creators. TikTok, with 1 billion global users, covers the legal costs, and the case may head to the Supreme Court. U.S. legislators pose a ban by Jan. 19, 2025, due to national security concerns.
