Whites in Mississippi sought reapportionment primarily to maintain political power and representation in the face of demographic changes and civil rights advancements. As African Americans gained voting rights and representation, many white residents feared losing control over local and state governments. Reapportionment was seen as a way to redraw electoral districts to favor white constituents, ensuring that their interests remained prioritized in political decisions. This push for reapportionment reflected broader tensions around race and power in the post-Civil Rights era.
