Democrat Scott Colom and Republican incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith are locked in a surprisingly close race.

Mississippi does not have a recount process, the secretary of state's office told ABC News, meaning candidates can't request a recount and there is no mechanism to trigger one in a tight race. Mississippi's deadline to certify its election results is Nov. 13.
