Talk:1981 Mississippi's 4th congressional district special election

Photo request
Specifically, looking for photos of Liles Williams, the Republican candidate for Congress in this race. He served in the Mississippi Workers Comp commission for the past decade as appointed by Haley Barbour and is still very much alive, so we can't use a fair use photo here. Any help would be appreciated.  Nomader  ( talk ) 16:06, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

4th district during the 1980 presidential election
While visiting my alma mater the other day, I was able to find the 1984 edition of the Almanac of American Politics. The source demonstrates that Reagan won the 4th District during the 1980 presidential election (this language was removed during the good article review because there were no online sources supporting it). The page specifically states that Regan received 95,760 votes, Carter received 93,684 votes and independent John Anderson received 2,307 votes. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 19:11, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Talk about the district itself. What was it like? What was the political background here? Referencing the Solid South would be helpful as well.
 * Trim the Hinson section a little bit (should probably be in its own article instead).
 * Talk about how the vote-splitting worked in Hinson's favor before.
