The U.S. Supreme Court issued an order sending Mississippi and North Dakota state legislative map cases back to lower courts for reconsideration in light of its recent Louisiana v. Callais ruling.

The brief, unsigned order came after the court weakened Voting Rights Act protections against racial discrimination in redistricting. The decision allows the justices to sidestep a broader fight over enforcement of the law's Section 2 provisions by private groups and individuals rather than only the U.S. attorney general.
