Fifth Circuit vacates Mississippi Supreme Court redistricting order, clouding special-session need

Magnolia Tribune reports the Fifth Circuit vacated Judge Sharion Aycock's liability order requiring Mississippi to redraw state Supreme Court districts and remanded the case after Louisiana v. Callais. Reeves later said he would rescind the May 20 call, leaving congressional and legislative redistricting in the pressure/watch lane unless an official replacement call or formal calendar action changes the record.
