He cited his concern that not all votes cast in the district were counted and stated his intention to take his case to the circuit court if the committee did not rule on the matter.[1][2][3]
On September 3, 2019, WLOX reported that the Republican Executive Committee ruled that a revote should be held in five of the 16 precincts in District 50 and that the committee requested that a judge order a new election.[4][5] On September 17, 2019, a special judge of the Harrison County Circuit Court vacated the election's certified results and ordered a revote in five of the district's 16 precincts on November 5, 2019.[6][7][8][9]
Voters in the remaining 11 precincts did not revote. Those precincts' August 6 votes were combined with the vote totals from the special election on November 5, 2019, to decide a winner.[6]
Combined results
Scott DeLano (R) defeated Dixie Newman (R) after the partial revote for Mississippi State Senate District 50 on November 5, 2019, having received the most votes with the combined totals.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
