Has anyone read analysis on why the Indiana Senate voted against redrawing the state's congressional districts?

I've only read this so far. Apparently some 44 year house member told them forever ago she wouldn't go for it. Also 40-10 split in their senate, so pretty crazy Trump couldn't get what he wantedSome of the slogans were like "we don't cheat in the hoosier state" etc

Good for them!There may also be some concern about this effort backfiring if they make previously solid Republican districts slightly more competitive by taking in Democratic voters in the new districts (to take away the solid Democratic districts completely). While of course their intent would be to still lean Republican and pick up seats, if there are big swings on vibes or whatever the current buzzword is, they could actually stand to lose seats they used to hold in a "free and fair election". I hope that's what happens in Texas. It would be funny.

Trump's popularity is way down and Dems are having big swings lately, so they're currently more scared of anti trump voters than of Trump

Thanks, Obama!

^^^I can see that happening here. Instead of netting the max of 5 seats, they only pick up +3, or something like that.

The real comedy would come if they lose seats.
