Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, a Republican battling for reelection in Mississippi, is under fire for "joking" about voter suppression. While visiting college campuses, Hyde-Smith said that laws that "make it just a little more difficult" for liberal college students to vote are "a great idea." Hyde-Smith's campaign said the remarks were "obviously" a joke and that a video of her comments was edited to misrepresent her comment, says Business Insider.
