The questions raised in this letter still deserve answers. Mississippi’s Legislative Black Caucus called for a transparent redistricting process with meaningful public input. Now there’s another question: Why was Sen. Derrick Simmons removed from the redistricting committee?

The image shows a formal letter dated June 5, 2026, addressed to Speaker Jason White and Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann. It discusses the recent appointment of Select Committees on Redistricting and Reapportionment in Mississippi. The letter raises concerns about these appointments circumventing Section 2 and Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act after the U.S. Supreme Court's decision. It highlights disparities in opportunity for Black people in Mississippi and calls for transparency. The letter is signed by Jarvis Dortch, ACLU of Mississippi; Jennifer Riley Collins, Southern Poverty Law Center; and N. Jeremi Duru, Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. The upper part of the letter contains a state emblem.

Page 2 argues that eliminating existing Black opportunity districts could be unlawful and create legal risks and costs for voters, candidates, election officials, and taxpayers. The letter states that Mississippi does not need to redraw district lines. It discusses the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais, arguing that the ruling does not invalidate existing Black opportunity districts or require Mississippi to redistrict. The authors also reference a Mississippi voting rights case recently returned to a lower court for further consideration. The page concludes that there is no need to reenter the redistricting process and introduces the next section: “Any Exploration of Mid-Decade Redistricting Should be Subject to the Highest Standards of Transparency.”

Page 3 outlines transparency and public participation standards the authors say should apply if Mississippi considers mid-decade redistricting. They request joint House and Senate meetings under consistent rules, public community hearings that are livestreamed, multiple open committee hearings, and opportunities for minority members to call witnesses. Suggested hearing topics include Mississippi’s history of apportionment, Voting Rights Act enforcement, the impact of Louisiana v. Callais, and the role of demographics, race, class, and political affiliation in districting. The letter also asks that committee recommendations, findings, draft maps, and final reports be released publicly with enough time for lawmakers and community members to review them before legislative action.

Page 4 lists information the authors want included in any redistricting committee report, including who worked on or was consulted about proposed maps, procedures used to create them, reasons alternative maps were rejected, data sources reviewed, relevant laws and policies, summaries of hearings and testimony, and facts supporting committee recommendations. The conclusion states that mid-decade redistricting should be conducted carefully, transparently, and with full public input, using established procedures such as public hearings, livestreamed proceedings, and detailed reporting. The letter is signed by Rep. Robert Johnson, House Minority Leader; Sen. Derrick Simmons, Senate Minority Leader; and Rep. Kabir Karriem, Chairman of the Mississippi Legislative Black Caucus.
