The Mississippi legislature has adjourned. HB 38 failed to pass. It would have disrupted Mississippi’s law on the order of candidates on the ballot. Mississippi now lists candidates on the general election in alphabetical order of surname, for candidates who are nominees of a party. But HB 38 would have said that the nominees of parties that had polled 10% of the vote for president in the last election should be listed first.

HB 38 had passes the House on February 5, but it made no progress in the Senate.
