Mississippi Today recently reviewed the certified election results released by the secretary of state’s Office. To find out which counties supported which candidates and which ballot measures, Mississippi Today examined the local totals in the statewide vote to determine which counties. You can switch between the ballot items using the dropdown menu: Presidential results Mississippi voted in the same way as 2016 with Trump winning 58% of the votes. This is compared to how Mississippi voted four years ago. The turnout for the presidential election was 9% higher than it was in 2016. The largest increases were seen in the Coast and north Mississippi counties, while the Delta saw the greatest decreases. The only significant change in the outcome at county level was in Warren County which voted for Trump in 2016, and Joe Biden in 2020. Both were very narrow margins. Nearly every county had a margin of outcome within 5% of the 2016 vote. This is except for the counties shown in the table below: Senate results. Similarly, voting results in this year’s Senate election between Mike Espy, and Hyde Smith remained almost unchanged from the 2018 results. Hyde Smith won the same counties and overall percentage. The 2018 runoff and the special election had a 40% increase in turnout. Except for Panola and Lowndes, which voted for Trump and Espy, the Senate results were largely in line with presidential votes. Ballot measures Mississippi received broad support for the following ballot measures: 73% approval to replace the state’s flag, 64% approval for medical marijuana use by patients with certain conditions, and 79% approval for House Resolution 47. This repeals a Jim Crow-era requirement that candidates win a majority in their respective house districts to be eligible for statewide elections. Only two counties in southeast Mississippi voted against a ballot measure: Greene and George counties voted against changing Mississippi’s state flag. Note: The map at top shows the county breakdowns for each of the ballot measures. Although support for every ballot measure was broad, counties that voted in blue were more likely to approve ballot measures than those who voted in red. These trends are broken down by ballot measure in the chart below:
