JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann
predicts a light to moderate turnout for tomorrow's (Tuesday)
primary, fueled by a fierce Democratic presidential race and two
open congressional seats.
Hosemann, during a news conference at his state Capitol office
today (Monday), said between 125,000 and 150,000 voters are
expected to participate in the Democratic and Republican primaries.
In the past few days, Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary
Clinton, former President Bill Clinton and their daughter, Chelsea,
have been campaigning across Mississippi.
Her rival for the presidential nomination, Sen. Barack Obama,
began campaigning in the state today. Usually, the party
nominations were decided by the time Mississippi holds its
primaries, but not this year.
Republican John McCain, who is his party's nominee, will be on
the GOP ballot.
The state's 1st and 3rd district congressional seats are open
this year.
