"The Indiana State Senate voted against the plan pushed by President Donald Trump to redraw the state's district map with the goal of giving Republicans more congressional seats. Votes were cast during a special session Thursday at the Indiana Statehouse. When the final count was tallied, 31 state senators voted down the bill. Just 19 voted in favor of the new map. Indiana Senate votes 31-19 to defeat Republican-backed redistricting plan to create 9-0 GOP congressional map. Joey Garrison (@joeygarrison) December 11, 2025"
"Indiana was just the latest in a growing list of states that have taken redistricting into serious consideration. Texas was the first notable state to put a plan in motion, and the outrage from that plan resulted in California voters overwhelmingly passing their own new map to give Democrats in advantage. Other states have followed suit. As noted in a report from IndyStar, the new map likely would have eliminated two Democratic seats."
Protesters gathered outside the Statehouse as senators met in a special session to consider a new congressional map. The Indiana State Senate voted 31-19 against a plan pushed by President Donald Trump intended to give Republicans more congressional seats. The proposed map aimed to create a 9-0 GOP delegation and likely would have eliminated two Democratic seats. The final vote included 21 Republicans joining Democrats in opposition. The vote followed a wave of redistricting battles in other states, including contentious efforts in Texas and a California response that advantaged Democrats.
