Democrat Scott Colom will upset Republican incumbent Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in Mississippi, The Associated Press projected Wednesday, flipping a Republican seat in a ruby-red state.

With 99% of the expected vote reported, Colom leads with 49.2%, and Hyde-Smith has 48.7% of the vote, with Colom leading by about 4,700 votes.

Mississippi does not have a recount process, the secretary of state's office told ABC News, meaning candidates can't request a recount and there is no mechanism to trigger one in a tight race. Mississippi's deadline to certify its election results is Friday, Nov. 13.
