Officially, Election Day was hard to miss. Both Sen. Cindy Hyde Smith and Mike Espy were early to the day. The day ended late as both candidates entered a post-Thanksgiving race. The state’s other Senate race saw Sen. Roger Wicker defeat state Rep. David Baria of the Coast. Eric J. Shelton, Mississippi Today’s photojournalist, was also on the trail to take Election Day photos of Mississippi voters.
