Magnolia Tribune: redistricting protest keeps legislative maps in the 2027 governor-race frame

Magnolia Tribune reports that the NAACP, SPLC, Mississippi Democrats, and U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson protested the Callais-driven redistricting push, while House Minority Leader Robert Johnson framed legislative redistricting as a major fight and Speaker Jason White continued to point toward legislative maps being settled before 2027 qualifying. The guardrail remains the same: no official replacement call, filed map, or legislative calendar action has appeared, so this is a 2027 power-and-positioning signal rather than a live special-session agenda.
