Mississippi governor announces special session to redraw judicial district maps pending Supreme Court ruling
Gov. Tate Reeves (R-MS) announced Friday he is calling a special legislative session to redraw state Supreme Court electoral maps 21 days after the U.S. Supreme Court issues its ruling in Louisiana v. Callais. The case concerns whether Louisiana's two Black-majority congressional districts constitute unconstitutional racial gerrymandering and is expected to affect Voting Rights Act application. Mississippi's regular legislative session ended this month without lawmakers redrawing the disputed maps.
