On November 8, Mississippi voters elected their state officers. The Reform Party had nominees for statewide office in five races: Lieutenant Governor, Auditor, Treasurer, Agriculture Commissioner, and Insurance Commissioner. No news source on the internet appears to have any report of the votes cast in these races. The Secretary of State’s web page does not yet have any election returns. In two of those statewide races, the Reform Party nominee was the only opponent to the Republican nominee. If any reader finds any Mississippi election returns for the lesser statewide offices, please add a comment.
