AUTOMATED SUMMARY
Democrat Scott Colom and Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith were separated by only a few dozen votes early Wednesday, with the race still uncalled. Colom had moved ahead after midnight as late returns came in.
Mississippi has no automatic recount process, and mail ballots postmarked by Election Day can arrive for five more business days. If Colom's lead holds, he would be the first Democrat to win a U.S. Senate race in the state since 1982.
