  1. Without the actual maps, these hearings were all political theater to give the impression that people will be heard.

    I live in a “packed” district downtown, a mile from the circle. A few blocks away my neighbors vote in a diluted district that stretches like a finger all the way past Fishers. I don’t expect anything else in the future from Republican lawmakers. They clearly have a conflict of interest here and have nakedly taken advantage of it, as will any party in the future.

    1. You must be talking State Legislature as opposed to Congressional district.? The 7th Congressional district is most packed and one sided democrat district in Marion County. Congressman Carson doesn’t even have to run full campaigns to stay in office. Blind ignorance keeps him in office.

    2. You realize the Republicans drew the maps last time and they did it that way on purpose, right? Pack as many Democrats possible into the minimal amount of districts, then dilute the influence of the rest by drawing them into rural districts.

      The suburbs going purple is inconsequential when the rest of the district is rock solid red. Look at how they drew the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 9th districts.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana%27s_congressional_districts

    3. It does seem odd that the people who benefit from the way its done get to draw the maps. Why would anyone ever give up their advantage on either side. Not sure how you could ever do it impartially since no-one is impartial and even computer programs have to be programed by someone.
