2020 Census and Redistricting Thread: Indiana

[TML]

This is a state where it appears to be possible to make all 9 districts strongly R-leaning:

Does anyone think this map could come to pass?

Is it legal, or at least physically possible to draw a 9R-0D map in Indiana? It's legal to draw 18D-0R or 17D-0R maps in Illinois.

As mentioned in this thread, 538's Atlas of Redistricting has one map where all 9 districts are ostensibly strongly R-leaning, but some here apparently think such a map could backfire on Republicans if they have bad years nationally.

probably legal, definitely inadvisable.  Also Illinois can't do that.  3 black and 1 hispanic vra seat are mandated.  Once you take those out, IL is much less blue and an 18-0 map could massively backfire and republicans could win a majority in a midterm election.  Also it would be visually appalling.

Somebody supposedly created a 18D-0R VRA-compliant Illinois map with 3 AA and 1 Hispanic. What does a 9R-0D Indiana map look like?
