JACKSON, Miss. Governor Tate Reeves canceled a special legislative session this week after the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated a ruling that had found the state Supreme Court map violated the Voting Rights Act; Reeves said he expects lawmakers to redraw Supreme Court, legislative, and congressional districts by 2027. Voting-rights groups immediately organized a response, scheduling a May 20 day of action that includes a 10 a.m. press conference, a march and a noon rally, and a strategy session; organizers from the Mississippi Center for Justice said they will pursue public engagement and litigation to oppose any discriminatory maps.
