    Mississippi residents in DeSoto County file lawsuit over majority-Black judicial subdistrict

    Mississippi residents in DeSoto County filed a federal lawsuit against the State Board of Election Commissioners, arguing that the Legislature’s creation of majority-Black judicial subdistricts violates the Voting Rights Act. The lawsuit claims the legislation (H.B. 1544 and S.B. 2768) is unconstitutional and denies DeSoto Countians the right to vote based on race.
