Reeves says he will rescind Mississippi Supreme Court redistricting special-session call
Magnolia Tribune reports Gov. Tate Reeves said he plans to rescind the May 20 special-session call for state Supreme Court redistricting after plaintiffs stipulated they would not seek new 2026 judicial elections. WLBT separately reported Reeves backing a future congressional-redistricting push, so the site’s guardrail changes: the May 20 judicial-session lane is off, while congressional and legislative maps remain later-timetable watch items rather than a confirmed May 20 agenda.
