Highlight:

I recently saw a post on DU with a photo of Mike Espy... the caption was (Original Post) secondwind Nov 2018 OP

I read he did really well for a Dem in many Mississippi suburbs. DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2018 #1

IIRC that DU post had a map with the blue counties bobbieinok Nov 2018 #2

Here are the the red-to-blue flips that I could find:

Chickasaw
Lowndes
Panola
Warren

I eyeballed it by comparing these two maps, so it's possible I missed one or two:

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/11/27/us/elections/results-mississippi-senate-runoff-special-election.html

Overall impression is that 2018 map is much lighter red almost everywhere.
