What to know about recounts in Mississippi with razor-thin margin in Senate race

What the coverage says

The Mississippi U.S. Senate race between incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith and Democrat Scott Colom remains uncalled with ninety-seven percent of the ballots processed, separated by fewer than thirty votes. NPR initially noted that Colom held a narrow lead early Wednesday, while CBS News characterized the contest as a surprisingly competitive challenge in a deep-red state. Fox News reported that Gavin Newsom is soliciting emergency donations while Marc Elias's law firm mobilizes a legal team for the undecided race. However, the New York Times and ABC News both pointed out that Mississippi state law does not provide for automatic or requested vote recounts.
