SUMMARY: Mississippi House Speaker Jason White criticized the Senate for blocking a bill to legalize mobile sports betting, arguing it would eliminate illegal online gambling while benefiting the state’s economy. The Mississippi Mobile Sports Wagering Act, which had strong support in the House, was allowed to die in the Senate Gaming Committee, with Senator David Blount expressing concerns that it wouldn’t benefit Mississippi’s existing gaming industry. The House proposed measures to partner mobile betting platforms with local casinos and tax revenues for infrastructure. White believes the ongoing legislative impasse reflects poorly on leadership and risks prolonging the debate on gambling legislation in Mississippi.

SUMMARY: Mississippi Congressman Bennie Thompson criticized the recently passed SAVE Act, arguing it doesn’t effectively secure elections but rather suppresses voter participation. Despite the GOP’s insistence on preventing noncitizen voting, Thompson highlighted that evidence suggests noncitizen influence on elections is minimal.
