Hour 2

Indiana Gov. Braun urges legislators to pass redistricting maps after Trump phone call

I just had a great call with President Trump! I told him I remain committed to standing with him on the critical issue of passing fair maps in Indiana to ensure the MAGA agenda is successful in Congress. Indiana’s State Legislators must show up for work and take a public vote for fair maps to counter the gerrymandering in California and Illinois. But the Indiana State Senate is hiding behind closed doors and refusing to even bring redistricting to a vote. Hoosiers deserve to know where their legislators stand and expect them to show up for work, not walk out and hide in the dark.

Indiana legislative leaders dodge discussing redistricting pressure

Bray and Huston both took part in a Monday panel session sponsored by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce as a preview of the upcoming session.

They did not discuss the redistricting controversy during the hour-long program — and both quickly left without talking with reporters and TV news crews who followed them.

FLASHBACK: Jim Banks Demands Census Bureau Fix Errors That Gave Dems 6 Extra Seats

In 2020, the census undercounted population in five mostly Republican states, Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas, and one Democrat state, Illinois.

And the census overcounted in six Democrat states, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Rhode Island, and in two Republican states, Utah and Ohio.

“In 2020, the Census Bureau made widespread errors,” Banks’ letter reads. “These errors happened for various reasons — but in part because the Census Bureau published census data using a new methodology that intentionally miscounted the population and masked demographic data. The methodology, differential privacy, injects noise into individual voting districts.”
