Mississippi Senate passes bill to implement no-excuse early voting
SUMMARY: Mississippi’s Senate has approved the “In-Person Early Voting Act,” which would allow registered voters to cast ballots up to 15 days before an election without needing an excuse. This would replace the current 45-day absentee voting period. Supporters argue it provides convenience for voters, especially those with scheduling difficulties. However, the bill faces opposition, with concerns about litigation and resistance from many circuit clerks. Despite this, the bill passed with bipartisan support and will now move to the House. Governor Tate Reeves, however, has expressed opposition to no-excuse early voting, which is already in place in 47 states.

SUMMARY: Ole Miss, after losing 18 starters, dominated Georgia State 63-7 in week one under coach Lane Kiffin.
