Nov 13, 2011: Daily Kos: Republican MS State Senate
SD-10 Steve Hale (D-Senatobia), Robert Jackson (D-Marks)
The 10th district is the centerpiece of this part of the map. It is currently a ConservaDem-held district, but in this incarnation, it gets drawn into an AA-majority district.

The 10th goes from 52% McCain to 68% Obama, making it a safe Dem seat.
