Redistricting & voting counsel at @brennancenter at @NYUlaw. Opinions mine. Usual caveats about retweets. From TX, so lots of tweets about the Lone Star State.
Today, I am announcing the formation of a Senate Select Committee on Redistricting and Reapportionment following the Supreme Court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais and the Governor’s decision to rescind the upcoming special session on Supreme Court redistricting. This committee’s work will begin immediately in preparation for the 2027 legislative session or sooner should the Governor call us back in session. I have full confidence that this committee, led by Senator Kirby, will meet in the coming months to gather information, review data, and evaluate potential future redistricting of congressional, legislative, and State Supreme Court districts in light of the Callais decision.

The senate chamber is packed as lawmakers are slated to begin discussion of the proposed congressional redistricting bill that drops one of Louisiana's two existing majority Black districts. Background: #lalege #lagov lailluminator.com/2026/05/13/lou…
We've filed the first lawsuit following the Louisiana Callais SCOTUS case. Our client alleges the Illinois Voting Rights Act of 2011's redistricting mandates violate the 15th Amendment and Section 2a of the national Voting Rights Act of 1965. @JBPritzker explicitly adopted racial purposes behind redistricting guidelines, namely sorting and allocating political power based on race. 🧵
The 5th Circuit just vacated the liability order in our judicial redistricting case. Post Callais, both the plaintiffs and the State jointly requested this action. A good day for those who believe in the principle that all Americans are created equal. A good day for law and order. A good day for Mississippi!
