JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippians endured long lines and some polling places ran out of ballots Tuesday as the state decided a hard-fought governor’s race between Republican incumbent Tate Reeves and Democratic challenger Brandon Presley.

A huge plume of dark smoke was visible for miles around. “Due to the dynamic nature of the fire, and the imminent danger of collapse, we have determined the most operationally sound method is to allow the structure to collapse, at which point ground crews can move in closer, and aggressively work to extinguish the fire,” the Fire Authority said.Fire Chief Brian Fennessy said no injuries were reported.
