At this link, the U.S. Supreme court has affirmed a lower court ruling on redistricting, allowing state lawmakers to run in their current districts this year.  The Justices rejected an appeal from the Mississippi NAACP. Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann said Monday that the decision reaffirms the legislature’s right to redistrict itself. “They affirmed the three judge panel,” said Hosemann. “What that means is that validated all of the elections going on now next Tuesday, in the process that we incurred to get to this point. It also dumps the ball clearly in the Legislature for next year to redistrict themselves.”
