SUMMARY: The Mississippi Senate passed the “In-Person Early Voting Act,” allowing a 15-day “no excuse” early voting period, reducing the current 45-day absentee requirement. While the Republican-authored bill received bipartisan support, Governor Tate Reeves opposes it, claiming it could increase voter fraud and labels the initiative a “Democrat priority.” Senator Jeremy England defends the legislation, noting it aligns Mississippi with 47 other states that allow early voting. Despite Reeves’ criticisms, England argues that convenience in voting is essential. The bill, having passed with a 39-12 vote, awaits consideration in the House, where England hopes for a veto-proof majority.

SUMMARY: The Pearl Board of Aldermen voted 5-2 to reject a citizen-approved ordinance allowing liquor stores within city limits, despite nearly 60% of voters supporting it in a June referendum. Pearl, a Rankin County suburb, remains in a dry county where liquor sales require special approval. Although Pearl has resort status permitting wine and liquor by the glass in restaurants and beer sales in stores, residents must still travel elsewhere for liquor purchases. Mayor Jake Windham, who opposed liquor stores but supported honoring the vote, expressed disappointment, emphasizing the importance of respecting citizens’ voices and preventing retail leakage.

SUMMARY: Ole Miss football overcame losing 18 starters to dominate Georgia State 63-7 in their 2025 opener.
