Senate’s in-person early voting bill triggers intraparty Republican spat
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Senate passed the “In-Person Early Voting Act,” allowing a 15-day “no excuse” early voting period, reducing the current 45-day absentee requirement. While the Republican-authored bill received bipartisan support, Governor Tate Reeves opposes it, claiming it could increase voter fraud and labels the initiative a “Democrat priority.” Senator Jeremy England defends the legislation, noting it aligns Mississippi with 47 other states that allow early voting. Despite Reeves’ criticisms, England argues that convenience in voting is essential. The bill, having passed with a 39-12 vote, awaits consideration in the House, where England hopes for a veto-proof majority.
