Supreme Court Reverses Mississippi Redistricting Order, Refers Case Back for Section 2 Enforcement

The U.S. Supreme Court reversed a lower-court redistricting order that forced Mississippi to redraw districts to create more Black-majority seats and ended the GOP Senate supermajority, sending the case back to a district court to decide whether private citizens may sue to enforce Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act; the decision relies on the Louisiana v. Callais framework and leaves open whether the 2022 maps will be reinstated, with Justice Jackson dissenting on the private-enforcement issue.
