Mississippi State Senate; revise the composition of certain Senate districts.

This bill revises the boundaries of 12 Mississippi State Senate districts (1, 2, 3, 10, 11, 12, 19, 34, 41, 42, 44, and 45) to comply with a federal court order. The court had found that two existing districts violated the Voting Rights Act by failing to allow minority voters to elect candidates of their choice. The changes create two new districts while adjusting existing boundaries to ensure minority voters in affected counties (including parts of Coahoma, DeSoto, Tate, and Tunica) have a fairer opportunity to elect representatives of their preference. The revisions aim to resolve the court’s findings without significantly altering most other districts.
