AUGUSTA -- Senate Republicans followed the lead of their House GOP colleagues on Wednesday by voting to eliminate both same-day voter registration and early voting by absentee ballot just before an election.

JACKSON - Election officials will be hard-pressed to start absentee voting on time unless the Mississippi Supreme Court quickly resolves a ballot-order dispute over Trent Lott's old Senate seat, Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann says. Seven of the nine justices heard arguments Wednesday about whether the special election for the U.S. Senate spot should appear near the top of the Nov. 4 ballot or the bottom. Justices gave no indication of when they will rule.
