SUMMARY: The election in Hinds County, Mississippi faced controversy as several polling locations ran out of ballots, causing frustration among voters. Split precincts, where residents vote in different districts, contributed to the shortage. Many people were unable to cast their votes or gave up due to the long wait, leading to suspicions of voter suppression. The Republican incumbent, Tate Reeves, won the closely contested race for governor with a lead of 35,000 votes. Some individuals believe the election results should be thrown out and the election redone. Overall, there are concerns about the fairness of the election and the impact on voter participation.
