In 1981, Republicans passed a tough gerrymander to undo the Dems 6-5 advantage. They eliminated the old 2nd, made the current 5th much more Republican by moving it out of Indy, strengethened the 8th, and made the current 6th more GOP to go after the Dem incumbent (Phil Sharp). Under those lines, Dem held 7 of 9 seats after 1990, having captured the current 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 8th during the decade while holding the current 6th and 9th.
