The National Republican Senatorial Committee said it sent a letter to county election commissioners and circuit clerks in Mississippi asking them to separate and preserve all affidavit ballots cast in the November 3, 2026 general election.
"As the democratic process continues to play out, we are committed to ensuring that every single lawful ballot is accurately counted and the voices of all Mississippians are heard," NRSC regional press secretary Samantha Cantrell said in the release.
The release did not say how many affidavit ballots are at issue, which counties received the letter, or whether any official has responded. It also did not state a legal step beyond the request to preserve the ballots.
