Mississippians have until October 9 to register to vote in general election
SUMMARY: The Secretary of State's office in Mississippi has announced that people have until October 9 to register to vote in the upcoming general election in November. If they miss this deadline, they can still register by October 30 for any general election runoffs. The primary election held last week had one of the lowest voter turnouts in over a decade, with only around 30% of eligible voters participating. The decline in turnout is attributed to “political nastiness” in some races and lack of interest in the top of the ticket.

House rejects Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s effort to oust Speaker Mike Johnson
SUMMARY: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's attempt to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson was overwhelmingly defeated by a bipartisan vote of 359-43. Despite her criticism of Johnson's leadership, including his handling of foreign aid for Ukraine, Johnson retained his position with significant Democratic support. Donald Trump expressed his love for Greene while advising against her motion at this time. The vote reflects deep divisions within the GOP and highlights the potential challenges for Republican leadership. Greene's actions may have political repercussions for her, as some party members voiced their discontent with her tactics.

SUMMARY: Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves has signed House Bill 295 into law, enabling electronic signatures on search warrants. This allows law enforcement officers to request and judges to grant search warrants remotely, streamlining the process for examining homes, businesses, vehicles, and electronic devices. Under the new law, individuals served with a warrant may electronically submit affidavits while under oath. Digital requests and signatures enjoy the same legal validity as traditional methods. Security measures are mandated to verify digital signatures and protect the system integrity. The law, which includes timestamping and encryption requirements for records, will be effective from July 1.
