Democracy Docket: Reeves says congressional lines should be redrawn before 2027 elections
Democracy Docket reports Reeves said Republicans are planning to redraw Mississippi congressional lines and later wrote that he expects lawmakers to redraw congressional lines between now and the 2027 elections. The useful update is timing and intent, not formal action: the same piece notes no new congressional map has been introduced, so the site keeps congressional redistricting in a 2027-session or later-special-session watch lane unless Reeves issues a replacement call or lawmakers file maps.
