"Indiana Republicans rejected an effort to redraw the state's congressional map on Thursday, a stunning and blunt rebuke of Donald Trump and Republican efforts to reconfigure the state's congressional districts to add two more Republican-friendly seats."
"The measure failed 19-31, with 21 Republicans joining 10 Democrats in rejecting the new maps."
Indiana Republicans rejected an effort to redraw the state's congressional map on Thursday, blocking a plan that would have added two additional Republican-friendly seats. The measure failed 19-31. Twenty-one Republicans joined ten Democrats in voting against the proposed maps, creating a bipartisan majority opposed to the change. The vote amounted to a striking rebuke of Donald Trump and Republican leaders who supported reconfiguring districts for advantage. The rejected plan would have altered multiple district boundaries to increase Republican-leaning seats. State congressional districts remain unchanged until a new plan secures the necessary legislative approval.
