Indiana Rejects Gerrymander

Forums:

Even after Trump sicced his death threat mob on Indiana Republican State Senators they stood up to him, but the real reason they didn't do it is because when you do extreme gerrymander you add some seats but you also dilute the margins of super safe seats.

We have been seeing double digit swings toward Dems in the elections this year and if you are a Republican Rep sitting in a plus 14 district you aren't going to want to give that up to help another Republican get elected if that changes your district to a plus 10 district. That margin is too close. 

More IN Republicans voted *against* than for! 21 GOP nays vs. just 19 ayes—in the face of bomb threats, primary threats, funding threats, you name it.

Trump is a lame duck with zero friends and the knives are starting to come out. 

He has Lame Ducked lips. Way to go Indiana. 

One more strand of hope in a dark political winter
