Voting 31-to-19 against redrawing the state’s congressional district map, the Indiana Senate brought to a close on Thursday a four-month brawl over redistricting that split the Republican supermajority and drew the ire of President Donald Trump.
Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray, R-Martinsville and six members of the GOP leadership joined all the Democrats in voting down House Bill 1032, the redistricting legislation.
The three-plus hour senate session was tense with the split in the Republican caucus on display. Some members of the supermajority rose to speak in support of redistricting, painting a dire picture of the country if Indiana did not send the “legislative cavalry” to Congress. Other members of the GOP caucus warned redrawing the map would sow distrust in the integrity of elections and democracy.
