RFK Jr.’s campaign claims he’s gained ballot access in Mississippi; secretary of state’s office says he hasn’t
SUMMARY: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s “We The People” party claimed it had gained ballot access in Mississippi for the upcoming November presidential election. However, the Mississippi Secretary of State's Office contradicted that statement, asserting that the party has not filed the necessary paperwork, despite multiple reminders. The spokesperson emphasized that the final deadline to submit the required documents is September 6. Kennedy, originally a Democratic candidate, is now pursuing the presidency as a third-party candidate. His campaign developed “We The People” and another group to bypass traditional candidacy requirements. Updates on the situation will be provided as they become available.

SUMMARY: New Mississippi legislation, effective January 1, 2025, will extend the runoff election period from three to four weeks post-Election Day. The bill, SB 2144, passed with overwhelming support (118-1 in the House and 50-1 in the Senate), allowing more preparation time for election officials and voters. Senator Jeremy England, chairman of the Elections Committee, stated this extension will enable better-informed voter decisions through candidate debates. Additionally, a ban on ranked-choice voting will take effect on July 1. Despite concerns about potential impacts on voter turnout and campaign costs, England considers these changes beneficial for a cleaner election process.

SUMMARY: The Mississippi Hospital Association (MHA) has named Richard Roberson as its new president and CEO. Roberson previously served as MHA's vice president of policy and state advocacy (2015-23) and was recently CEO of TrueCare. He replaces Tim Moore, who was dismissed following the loss of eight hospital memberships due to a controversial $250,000 donation to Democratic gubernatorial candidate Brandon Presley. Moore asserted the donation was to support Medicaid expansion, which Presley endorsed. Medicaid expansion remains a crucial issue for MHA, affecting hospital financials and patient care, though lawmakers have yet to reach an agreement on the matter.
