Mississippi is close to finding out who has won the incredibly tight race for Senate, in a contest that could deliver the state's first Democratic senator in nearly four decades.
Scott Colom, the Democrat, holds a lead of about 2,500 ballots - less than 1% - over his Republican opponent, the incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith, according to the latest tally.
If he wins, Colom would become the Magnolia State's first black senator in over 140 years.
The BBC went to Mississippi to ask voters about the nail-biting wait - and why they think this election has come down to the wire.
