Bot to mention 25% of state D districts wiped out. The new proposed maps would cut the 2 biggest college communities in half, splitting them in with new red districts. Marion county, where Indianapolis is located had its vey wealthy northern quarter cleaved out of that very blue 7th district into my district, a very purple district in 2010. The new map would further shrink the 7th into the 5th and expand the 5th halfway into a college county that locally is very blue. All of the college towns representations will be fucked. 2 D district's left, the lower 2/3d's of the county Indianapolis is in and East Chicago/Gary. They cleaved off Hammond and South Bend into new R districts also with the new maps.

Not saying my state was an exception, but how bad it's gotten since 2010. Both sides DO NOT do what TX is doing now! Cheezoholic Aug 22 #4
