SUMMARY: Following Mississippi’s recent election, there is growing interest in expanding early voting options. Currently, Mississippi is one of only three states that require an excuse for absentee voting. Many voters support early voting, citing convenience for busy schedules and medical conditions. State Senator Jeremy England, who introduced early voting legislation last year, aims to bring it up again. His bill would allow in-person early voting with a valid photo ID, ensuring a secure process and timely results. While absentee ballots are still being counted, early voting could streamline the process and provide quicker election results.

Mississippi is one of only three states that doesn’t allow early voting. State Senator Jeremy England is pushing to bring early voting to the state.

SUMMARY: Two men from Saucier, Cameron Coffman and Christopher Bunch, were arrested and charged with distributing fentanyl that caused a fatal overdose on June 7 in Harrison County. Deputies and the Harrison County Narcotics Task Force responded to the overdose on Saucier-Lizana Road, where a 35-year-old man was found dead with fentanyl in his possession. The investigation led to the arrests, which involved D’Iberville Police, Homeland Security, and the DEA. The charges are filed under Parker’s Law, passed in 2022, which imposes harsher sentences for anyone distributing fentanyl that results in an overdose death.

A search warrant was executed at two different locations in Saucier, and Coffman and Bunch were arrested.
