Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves has called a special legislative session to redraw the state's Supreme Court judicial districts after a federal court ruled they violate the Voting Rights Act — but has tied the session's start to the U.S. Supreme Court's pending decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which could reshape or gut Section 2 of the VRA entirely. The Mississippi fight is one front in a sprawling national redistricting war, triggered by President Trump's push for mid-decade map redraws in Republican states, that Democrats have countered with their own remapping in California, Virginia, and elsewhere — with the net effect of potentially shifting more than a dozen House seats before the 2026 midterms.
