Missouri preview shows what mid-decade redistricting could mean for Indiana

Written By Irene Gonzalez

In Missouri, Republican lawmakers are giving us a preview of how the proposed mid-decade redistricting could turn out here in Indiana -- chopping up one large Democratic city into three congressional districts.* Meanwhile, Hoosier Republicans also seem to be moving closer to redrawing our state's congressional district lines at the urging of President Trump. One outspoken Indiana Republican has flipped from "hard no" to "hell, yes," even after opponents of redistricting delivered petitions with 9,000 signatures.

Rep. Jim Lucas scuffled with a fellow Republican legislator over the reversal, which came after the assassination of a prominent conservative activist.
