What was done with the maps was completely expected … including redistricting Jacob and Nisly so that they face primary challenges in the spring.
Correct
Is it possible to amend the Indiana constitution by a ballot referendum to require a nonpartisan redistricting commission that would emphasize creating competitive districts?
Sure! But an amendment has to be done by the same legislators who like the ability to draw the districts so that they pick their voters, as opposed to the voters picking their representatives. There’s a better chance of one-class basketball coming back, or Indiana stopping the observation of daylight savings time. Any Republican who proposed such an amendment would find it sent to the Rules committee to die a death in the shadows, along with Senator Leising‘s cursive bill.
And those legislators haven’t shown much appetite for amending the constitution, outside of the property tax caps they put in the constitution which was perhaps the dumbest idea in the world.
People keep voting for Republican crony government, that’s what they’re going to get until they vote differently. That’s OK, I’m sure that the last ten years of Republican single-party rule had nothing to do with much of Indiana fleeing to live in or next to the cities that are run by Democrats.
