U.S. Senator Thad Cochran is resigning from the Senate on April 1, 2018. His term would ordinarily not have been up until 2020. Mississippi law says his seat will be filled in a special non-partisan election on November 6, 2018. If no one gets 50%, there will be a run-off in December. Mississippi special elections, like Georgia and Texas special elections, are non-partisan, with no party nominees.
Meanwhile, the other Mississippi Senate seat will have a regularly-scheduled partisan election, also on November 6, 2018.

Excuse me for asking, James, but what exactly do all those candidates for offices elsewhere have to do with the two Mississippi US Senate races?
John, the offices which are federal ones are similar in nature.
The United Coalition loves 100% of everyone.
All elections to Congress are somewhat “similar in nature” — but there’s still nothing particularly relevant to the US Senate races in Mississippi in your post.
Yes, they are both at-large USA. We proportionalists view Congress, Senate and POTUS as at-large USA, America Province #1 and Earth.
The offices are all one at-large USA.
We are interested. The United Coalition of Candidates (UCC), all candidates for elective governmental office worldwide, under pure proportional representation PPR.

ABOLISH the super minority rule USA gerrymander Senate.
@5 . . . James, that may be the way your coalition envisages them, but the US Senate races in Mississippi are only “at-large Mississippi”. And if you try to vote in those elections on the strength of your vision, and you’re not registered to vote in Mississippi, others will work hard to convince you of that.
Sorry you cannot comprehend national unity, John. Our team uses teamwork on a national level which is not limited to just voters whose work is confined to their own State. We respect the State borders, we do not advocate removing them, but we are not limited by them in many ways other than ability to vote for them as you suggest.
The United Coalition has a unity phenomena that transcends borders.

James Ogle… “Sorry you cannot comprehend national unity”… and with this statement you just outed yourself as worthless nationalist scum.
Say, what’s the requirements for a candidate to get on ballot for the special senate election?
The United Coalition looks forward to equal treatment and equal time for all parties and independents everywhere.
Two US Senators being elected simultaneously one partisan and one non-partisan in one multiple winner district and we welcome the potential for humor and collaboration.
