How Indiana’s Redistricting Fight Unraveled And What Happens Now
Episode 1
Monday, 5 January, 2026

Indiana’s legislative session opened with a touch of chaos. In this episode, Blake and Earl break down how a push for mid-decade redistricting unfolded, why deeply gerrymandered maps advanced in the House, and what ultimately led the Indiana Senate to reject them. From national political pressure to rare moments of bipartisan resistance, they unpack what happened, why it mattered, and how it reshaped the start of the 2026 session. Plus: what this detour means for real Hoosier issues like childcare, healthcare, and cost-of-living—and why time is now the biggest enemy.
