Rep. Ben Smaltz, author of Indiana’s early redistricting bill, says it out loud on the House floor on December 2, 2025, during the bill’s committee hearing: “These maps are entirely focused on creating political advantage for Republicans in the coming Congressional election.”

In one district, folks in Corydon would share a district with Indianapolis—even though you're closer to Louisville than Indianapolis.
If you live in Newton County, you'd also share a district with Indianapolis—even though you're closer to Chicago.

It’s clear DC consultants who don't know the first thing about Indiana drew this map. These districts:
🕑span 2 different time zones

They have to gavel in, there’s no refusing that. They can 1) gavel in and gavel right back out Sine Die (legal term meaning session is ended). 2) Go through exact same procedure as House and have a final 3rd reading vote.

A sad bonus:
