SuperTalk: Secretary of State prepares for possible return to 2022 legislative maps

SuperTalk reports Secretary of State Michael Watson told Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann and Speaker Jason White that his office has begun preparing Mississippi's election-management system for a possible return to the 2022 legislative maps after Louisiana v. Callais. The important race-calendar signal is administrative, not a filed-map claim: Watson flagged that district changes cannot be made while an election is in process from early June through mid-December 2027, and that clerks would need roughly a month of preparation time, while neither Hosemann nor White has publicly committed to simply reinstating the 2022 maps.
