Watch the press conference live today at 11:30 H/T Capitol & Washington. We’ll post this afternoon with our analysis of the maps.
UPDATE: Sounds like the Senate GOP maps will match the House GOP maps. Here are links for the Congressional map and the Senate map from Senate Republicans. H/T @indgop.
Wow, Jefferson County (Madison) where I grew up is in the same district as Delaware County (Muncie) where I went to school. As I recall that was one heck of a drive 2 hours plus.
Yeah, they definitely made that a long district. Looks like 6 and 8 have the most counties in them.
