Works for me. Democrats have gotten away with their own incredibly convoluted maps for 6 decades. No more.
Oh not. Democrats gone!

As I see it, the bigger problem was adding the illegals to the census count and placing them “selectively” into districts.

Makes me sick.
Congrats to Governor Braun. I just hope he can get it past the RINO’s in the Senate.
Then it’s probably also news to you this doesn’t mean what you think. The Indiana Senate has yet to act and Republicans in the Senate are against the measure because they didn’t like Trump’s language. He used some bad words!
Still wrong
Who are you?
Hey Gavin, F-you pal
Evansville, Bloomington and Terre Haute in the same district, and it’s supposed to go Republican? Ok, it’s been a long time since I lived in Indiana so I’m seriously out of date on grassroots knowledge, but that does not smell right.
Historically, the Republican problem in Southern Indiana was that you had to work against the big Democrat blob of Evansville. You had to mass enough conservative rural counties to offset that. Given Evansville’s location, that was easy enough; you have to move north and east in any event — that can’t change unless Illinois counties actually do start switching states so you can jump the Wabash — and you can easily put together a block of reliably Republican counties that make sense in terms of contiguity and compactness. But if you moved too far north, you ran into Terre Haute and Bloomington, and two more Democrat strongholds. Oh well. I’m sure they cobbled this together looking at very recent results. And that will boomerang.
All of the states that go in for the really radical gerrymandering, including Indiana in this instance, are playing with dynamite. This kind of thing brings a lot of what should be reasonably solid districts into play when the tide shifts a bit. And in even a minor wave year, it sets up the potential for blowout losses.
That’s exacerbated because of the Trump effect. Whatever happens, Trump will be a lame duck by this time next year. Then he will be gone. Anyone who takes 2024 results and projects them forward — because very recent past performance predicts future results — is a fool.
What are all these states going to do? Redistrict again the day after the election next year to revert to a more prudent map? Heck, why don’t we just draw new lines for each election, as long as we roll the new maps out in time to get ballots printed? With digital technologies swallowing the process, the maps could be drawn up in readiness and be announced 48 hours ahead of time. Or just walk into the polls blind and find out as you are standing at the voting machine what district you’re in.
Absolutely! If republican states are challenged in court, they need only one response - 'California'.
Finally the Republicans found their cajones,
