Republicans almost certainly will do all the redistricting in Indiana. For congressional districts. For the Indiana House. For the Indiana Senate.
And that’s bad news for Democrats for a decade.
The districts drawn next year on the basis of the 2010 Census, with computerized packaging of voters in ways to elect as many Republicans as possible, will be used in elections right on through 2020.
As the New York Times pointed out last week in a front-page article, the main focus nationally is of course on whether Republicans will take control of Congress, but “it is a
lower-profile battle over state legislatures that could strengthen the Republican Party for a decade.”
In most states, including Indiana, state legislatures do the redrawing of districts every 10 years.
