There's no public list of polling places, so we had to make a public records request for a list of polling places & contact election officials in all 18 counties involved in Tuesday's special elections to verify changes.

See a map and lists of changes: www.mississippifreepress.org/election-off...

a screenshot of a map says: Mississippi polling precinct changes, november 2024 to november 2025

Several counties are colored in indicating polling place changes

NEW: 12 Mississippi polling places have moved and 4 have been closed ahead of the Nov. 4 legislative special elections, an MFP investigation finds.

Counties also have incorrect addresses in the state system for 11 polling places, risking sending some voters to the wrong location.

I HAVE BEEN YELLING ABOUT USING SOLAR PANELS TO SHADE PARKING LOTS IN MISSISSIPPI FOR MORE THAN A DECADE!!

Clara Jeffery @clarajeffery.bsky.social · 17h

Meanwhile, in South Korea: "Starting at the end of November, public parking lots with more than 80 spaces will be required to install solar power generation facilities. This obligation applies not only to newly constructed parking lots but also to existing ones."

When it was finished in 1928, the temple theater in Meridian, Mississippi, had the second largest stage in the United States, second only to the Roxy in NYC. The population was around 30k people then, almost the same as it is now.
The acoustics in here are incredible, by the way.

The Temple is awesome. Across the board, Meridian puts out the best vibes. It’s what I miss most about living there.

Nothing demonstrates performative nature of "sincerely-held religious convictions" of MS Republicans than their refusal to publicly demand MS Gov Tate Reeves @ least TRY to mitigate impact of loss of SNAP here in the poorest state.

Why won't they?
And why won't MS media outlets start asking?

@realgdt.bsky.social ’s Frankenstein is AWESOME. One of my all time favorite books, and he’s done it better than anyone since Mary Shelly herself. The storytelling, the acting, the costuming & design…

Y’ALL.

IT’S AWESOME.

And also…who cares? Ok, so she’s not his “aunt-aunt.” Is he lying about his net worth? His sources of income? Releasing his taxes? Having a plan? Accusations of non-consensual sex? Felony convictions? Whether he’s a nazi fanboy? What’s next? He’s lying about flossing daily? Give me a fucking break.

I was an adult before I learned that some of my “aunts” and “uncles” were actually second or third (?) cousins. 🤷🏻‍♀️

MSSalleForth @mssalleforth.bsky.social · 4d

My mom’s high school best friend, 3 of my mom’s sister’s h.s. best friends (she’s now married to one), their brother’s h.s. best friend, and our neighbor lady whose daughter was several years older than us. I may not even remember their last names, but they’re all still “Aunt” or “Uncle” So-and-So.

Hi. 👋🏻 Middle-aged white woman who grew up in Mississippi with numerous people I and my sister called “Aunt” or “Uncle” despite having no blood or marital relation to them.

Sarah J. Jackson @sjjphd.bsky.social · 5d

Sorry I refuse to entertain the complete non-existent world where white people don’t know that countless cultures, including some of their own but certainly diasporic racialized ones, call their mom’s cousin’s friend’s sister they grew up with “cousin” and call close women elders “aunt/auntie”

I'm sure most of my followers know about the magical duel between Alan Moore and Grant Morrison (boring, mostly involves them claiming their comics are magic "hypersigils" which is a REALLY fun word) SO let me introduce you to a wizard duel that took place in a secret military program in the 1970s.

I know other media outlets around the country are running with "diseased monkeys with COVID, herpes and hepatitis are loose in Mississippi!"

And yes, it makes great clickbait. Those posts have thousands of RTs.

But it's just not accurate. Our factual report by @nickjudin.bsky.social:

Mississippi Free Press @mississippifreepress.org · 5d

Lab monkeys from Tulane University have escaped an overturned truck north of the town of Heidelberg, Mississippi.

Despite initial claims by local law enforcement, the monkeys are not carrying COVID-19, herpes or hepatitis C.

The rooftop bar has a pretty good, albeit distant, view of Fondren.

MSSalleForth @mssalleforth.bsky.social · 5d

I live in Fondren & work in Flowood. The hotel already in Fondren seems to do fine. Not sure how another will do, other than JSU games & school/biz travelers. Upside: walkable, good food. The Reserve may struggle bc of service, but between golfing, events, & business travelers, I’m sure it’s fine.

Exact same story in Mississippi. Not only have Republicans been screwing over rural areas, they’ve also been decimating urban areas in “red” states for decades. These plans have been going full-speed since desegregation.

I hear people all around me saying, “They are going to crash the economy. Surely they don’t mean to crash the economy.”

I beg to differ. This is curated failure.

Contest every race. Have a candidate in every race on every ballot in every county in every state.

Run even if you know you can’t win. Run because you know you can’t win.

No seat uncontested. Bring the fight to every ballot.
