Looks like the Democratic Party’s fight in Mississippi just got a little more difficult today. Two State House members switched to the Republicans, bringing the Democrats majority to only 16 seats. One seat in the House is still vacant, as Steven Palazzo vacated his State House seat to succeed Congressman Gene Taylor in Mississippi’s 4th Congressional District.
