On December 4, 2019, incumbent Ashley Henley (R) filed an election challenge and asked the GOP-led Mississippi House of Representatives to overturn the District 40 election. In the petition, Henley said that the election showed many irregularities. According to Mississippi Today, the specific grievances in the election challenge included: "A failure to collect voter signatures in one of the district’s six precincts and a lack of an incident report detailing why the signatures weren’t collected. She also alleges discovering: two uncounted paper ballots in which Henley’s name was marked; 11 names of voters who voted in a specific precinct while no records of their residency within that precinct could be found; voter signature receipts not stapled to the corresponding pages of the voter receipt book; and several ballots 'unaccounted for/missing.'" Jackson McCray defeated Henley in the 2019 general election by 14 votes. A bipartisan House committee voted 5-0 on January 27, 2020, to seat McCray in the election. On February 5, 2020, the state House voted on a voice vote to reject Henley's request to overturn the election.
