SUMMARY: Despite mixed turnout numbers statewide, the Timber Lawn polling precinct has seen a surge in voters, with a turnout of over 20%. Some precincts in Rankin County have also reached a 20% turnout, while Hinds County has reported numbers around 10%. Secretary of State Michael Watson has confirmed ongoing cyber attacks against the state’s computer systems, originating primarily from Russia and China but also from other countries like Finland. However, no outside sources have accessed any information. Election officials in Mississippi are in contact with officials from Louisiana and Kentucky, who are experiencing similar cyber traffic. Voting at Timberline is still ongoing, with polls closing at 7 p.m. Those in line at closing time will still be allowed to vote. In Hinds County, there were some issues with the ballot scanning machine at precinct 46, causing voters to leave their ballots with others. Despite a few concerns, voter turnout in Hinds County has been high and people are glad to see it.

Statewide, voter turnout appears to be low for the primary election.
