Turnout in Mississippi is low. Below expectations.

At the Richburg precinct in Lamar County, Billy Millican, who was in charge of polls there, said things were going slow. That's even though there had been 195 voters by 10 a.m.
"It's steady, but not what we expected," he said. "I figure after 5 p.m. we're going to be swamped."
Millican said there had been no problems with people not having the identification needed to vote.
At the Camp precinct in downtown Hattiesburg, Martha Johnson, receiving and returning manager, said turnout had been light.
There had been 95 voters as of 10:45, but the entire precinct only has 855 voters.
Johnson said there had been no voter ID problems.
"Before we had to have voter ID, most people would show us ID," she said.
Johnson said it might get busier as the day progressed, but most of the people who vote at Camp are retired, so she expected the turnout to be steady throughout the day.
95 votes at Camp isn't too bad for them (I live 10 minutes away) at 10:45. They had 217 for the Cochran/McDaniel runoff. Richburg should end up with ~700. Thames precinct, which is mentioned later in the story, is a huge GOP box. Probably 1000+.
