MS SOS Hosemann expects smooth presidential, congressional primary election

Officials say states ready for high voter turnout

In Mississippi, Hosemann said, voting machines are in place and election officials are training poll workers for the state’s March 8 primary.

“We expect a smooth election,’’ he said.

Mississippi is among states with new election laws. Hosemann is pushing state lawmakers to also adopt legislation that would move up the primary by a week.

“I think Mississippi deserves the right to speak to the presidential candidates,’’ he said.
