Mississippi Independent: Reeves cancels May 20 Supreme Court redistricting session after Fifth Circuit ruling

The Mississippi Independent reports Gov. Tate Reeves said he is canceling the May 20 special session after the Fifth Circuit vacated the Supreme Court-district redraw order and lifted the immediate 2026 election injunction. Its useful addition for the 2027 governor watch is the calendar guardrail: current Supreme Court and congressional maps are expected to remain in place for 2026, while broader Supreme Court, legislative, and congressional redistricting moves into the 2027-session or later-special-session lane unless a new formal call changes that timetable.
