Indiana Republican-controlled Senate rejects new map in mid-decade redistricting battle
« on: Today at 12:51:41 pm »
The Republican-controlled Indiana state Senate voted Thursday to reject the redrawn redistricting map that could have potentially meant an increase of two GOP U.S. House members in the 2026 midterm elections.

The defeat of the map represents a setback to President Donald Trump, who had strongly advocated for its passage by the state Senate. Also, there have been multiple visits from Vice President JD Vance and calls from Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (La.), attempting to persuade enough members of the Senate to pass the redrawn map.

Though the GOP-controlled state House had approved the map last week, according to NBC News, it failed in the state Senate by a vote of 31-19.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

At least rename a county after Trump.

Pence publicly supported it, but what he did behind the scenes, who knows.

Drawing a bunch of competitive districts in the midwest is not going to help in a bad year.  Maybe in 2028 or 2030.

This whole project was a stupid idea, and now it looks like Virginia is going to join in.
