Jackson Free Press

What a night in Mississippi! With national eyes on us, the biggest news of the night is that the state voted about 40-60 against the Personhood Initiative. Predictably, Phil Bryant took the gubernatorial seat, Jim Hood was re-elected attorney general, voters chose eminent-domain limits and voter identification. And this morning, with several seats in limbo awaiting absentee ballot counts, the House of Representatives is set to go Republican.

The JFP team was out in force last night and will have full coverage in the JFP Daily today (subscribe free!), but we urge you to weigh in here with your thoughts. You can use your Facebook log-in here if you're not a member.

You can also check out the JFP editorial team's coverage at http://www.jfppolitics.com and on Twitter @jxnfreepress and @jfppolitics. We were busy.

Cheers to the JFP editorial/news team last night for the best election coverage in the state! Lacey McLaughlin, R.L. Nave, Elizabeth Waibel, Valerie Wells and Robbie Ward were with campaigns; Todd Stauffer, Ronni Mott, JoAnne Prichard Morris and I (wo)manned mission control (three laptops, a couple iPads and two TVS) to get the tweets and results flowing. It was fun and exhausting, but this team was stellar. I'm proud of them all!

Well, we're already at the bottom, why not keep digging? Maybe we'll strike oil... :(
