On February 13th, U.S. District Court Judge Carlton Reeves, an Obama Appointee, declared that the Mississippi State Senate District Boundaries concerning the 22nd District Violate the Voting Rights Act, and must be Changed.
Thomas v Bryant, s.d., 3:18cv-441. Here is the two-page Order, which says that a Full Opinion will be released soon.
Mississippi Elects All its State Legislators in the Odd years before Presidential Elections, which includes 2019.
The Filing Deadline for Primary Candidates is March 1st.
The Order says the Legislature may wish to Extend the Filing Deadline, at least as to District 22 and the Neighboring Districts, 21 and 23, whose Boundaries also will Change.
