Mississippi governor says he will call special session to redraw district maps after SCOTUS ruling

Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves announced plans to call a special legislative session to redraw district maps following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, a case challenging Louisiana's 2024 congressional map as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. The decision could reshape redistricting practices nationwide and impact a Mississippi lawsuit alleging the state's current map dilutes Black voting strength.
