‘Voter apathy’ toward Hyde-Smith could be factor in Mississippi Senate race: Professor

A Mississippi political science professor said voters seemed 'really enthusiastic' about Democratic Senate candidate Scott Colom, but there was 'a lot of voter apathy' toward his opponent Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R). Aaron Hitefield, assistant professor at Mississippi State University, called Colom a 'really high-quality candidate,' suggesting apathy could be a factor in the race.
