Mississippi Republicans Push to Redraw District Maps After Supreme Court Ruling

JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) — Mississippi Republican leaders are pushing to redraw congressional, legislative and Supreme Court district maps following a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling, WJTV reported.

Much of the attention has focused on the state’s 2nd Congressional District, which is represented by U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., WJTV reported.

Some GOP leaders said the district boundaries should be revisited, WJTV reported.

WJTV did not report whether Thompson or other Democratic officials had commented on the proposed redistricting, and the station did not provide details on specific map changes or a timeline for any action.
