2020 Census and Redistricting Thread: Indiana

If you want to keep the GOP districts safer, this is how you can do it. 

1st is D+1.05.  Of the GOP districts, the least R is actually the red Fort Wayne district at R+11.75, surprisingly enough.  All others are R+13 or better.

If this wasn’t part of some shady deal with some D-trifecta state(s) (and I agree that these deals are highly unlikely in general), Republicans are even more incompetent than I thought they were, and I honestly didn’t think that was possible. They’re essentially letting themselves get gerrymandered into oblivion this cycle.

Watch them create some insanely ridiculous gerrymander in KS and TN while leaving MO/IN/TX/FL largely intact.

My impression has been that the GOP genuinely has zero idea of what kind of slaughter awaits them in IL/PA/NY/CA/NJ/etc.

If only Senate Republicans would get on board with a gerrymandering ban and mandated independent commissions.

There are obvious constitutional reasons to oppose such a bill, not just partisan reasons.
