Some Mississippi legislative districts dilute Black voting power and must be redrawn, judges say
SUMMARY: A panel of federal judges has mandated Mississippi to redraw certain legislative districts, citing the dilution of Black voters' power. The order stems from a 2022 lawsuit by the NAACP and Black residents. Jennifer Nwachukwu, an attorney for the plaintiffs, called the ruling a significant victory for Black Mississippians. The judges specified adjustments around DeSoto, Hattiesburg, Chickasaw, and Monroe counties, without creating additional districts. The Mississippi attorney general's office is reviewing the ruling. Redistricting follows each census, reflecting population shifts. Similar lawsuits in states like Louisiana and Georgia have also contested racial fairness in district maps.

SUMMARY: A Hattiesburg man, Tobias Smith, 27, was arrested for making a bomb threat via text message towards Georgia Pacific Plywood, leading to an evacuation of the plant outside Taylorsville. The Smith County Sheriff's Office, assisted by Mississippi Highway Patrol's bomb dogs, took Smith into custody at the scene. He faces one count of terroristic threats and is awaiting a bond hearing. Sheriff Joel Houston lauded the prompt response by Mississippi Homeland Security and MHP. The investigation is ongoing, with potential additional charges, and the public is encouraged to provide any relevant information to the authorities.
