Possibly, although there’s a ton of candidates. Everything is up this year, every legislative seat and statewide. The Democrats aren’t even fielding candidates for some offices (such as Lt Governor, which is an open race). I expect the Dems will do all they can to hold on to their last remaining office, that of Attorney General (and that one is probably only second in importance to Governor, and taking it is paramount for us). We haven’t held that office since Reconstruction. I expect that once we get past the legislative barrier, you’ll probably see a number of switches (at least of the White Dems). As I predicted, aside from a handful of urban liberal Whites, virtually every officeholding White Democrat in the Deep South will be gone before the end of this decade, if not sooner. Amazing to realize that 3-4 decades ago they made up almost 100% of those legislatures.
No rats for LT Gov, Auditor, or Sec of State. WOW. The Reform party is the only opposition for those races, didn’t know they still ran candidates. They have a full statewide slate and the dems don’t! Possibly you are allowed to fill the nominations later if no one files to run.
Every deep Southern state has seen numerous switches once the GOP takes over or comes very close. MS shouldn’t be an exception.
