The deeply red state of Mississippi is planning to redraw its district map based on the SCOTUS case about race-based districts and this move will benefit Republicans, possibly even aiding the GOP in the midterms.
Governor Tate Reeves made the announcement on Twitter/X this weekend.
This is something that every state should be looking at, especially red states.
Mississippi governor says he will call special session to redraw district maps after SCOTUS ruling
Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves on Friday said he will call a special legislative session to redraw district lines after the U.S. Supreme Court issues a ruling in a key redistricting case.
Reeves said the session would take place 21 days after the court rules in Louisiana v. Callais, a case that could reshape how states apply the Voting Rights Act.
The case centers on Louisiana’s 2024 congressional map, which added a second majority-Black district and is being challenged as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.
The outcome could influence redistricting battles nationwide, particularly in Republican-led states, ahead of this year’s midterms.
Reeves said the ruling could also affect a separate Mississippi case requiring the state to redraw its Supreme Court district lines.
That lawsuit, filed by groups including the Southern Poverty Law Center and the American Civil Liberties Union, argues the current map dilutes the voting strength of Black voters in violation of federal law, according to WLBT.
