Miss. Senate remap plan to be unveiled today
Mississippi Senate leaders plan to reveal redistricting plans for the chamber on Tuesday afternoon, with the intention of asking the full Senate to approve the map Wednesday.
Republican Sen. Merle Flowers, of Southaven, is redistricting chairman for the 52-member chamber. He said Monday that the proposed new map should make most senators happy.
“I think we will post a large number on the votes,” Flowers told The Associated Press.
He also said he believes the map will be approved by the U.S. Justice Department, which checks to ensure that the new districts don’t dilute minority voting strength.
