Mississippi Senate race still a toss-up, with razor-thin margin

TL;DR

The Mississippi Senate race between Democrat Scott Colom and Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith is still unresolved.
With 96% of votes counted, the candidates were separated by only a few dozen votes at one point, with Colom leading by just over 1,100 votes.
This race is a surprisingly competitive challenge in a state that has not elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1982.
Democrats have already secured enough seats to take control of the Senate, and a Colom victory would add to their majority.
Colom campaigned on cost of living and healthcare issues.
The unresolved nature of this race, along with Alaska's Senate race, leaves the final size of the Democratic majority uncertain.
