Mississippi can wait to reset legislative districts that dilute Black voting strength, judges say
SUMMARY: Federal judges have allowed Mississippi to delay the redrawing of some legislative districts where Black voting power is diluted until next year. The original ruling from July 2 identified issues in several districts, requiring their reconfiguration. This delay means no special legislative elections will occur this November, and current legislators will serve about half of their term under diluted conditions. The judges stated that waiting until 2025 avoids a rushed process. While state attorneys argued against quick redistricting due to tight deadlines, the NAACP emphasized the need for urgency to prevent voter confusion and administrative burdens. The adjustments aim to ensure fair representation without creating new districts.
