The Indiana House passed new Congressional maps Friday and sent them to the Senate, where the bill’s future is unclear since Senate leadership has stated multiple times since October it doesn’t have the votes.

House Bill 1032, which addresses mid-census redistricting and gives Republicans an advantage in all nine congressional districts, passed 57-41, with 12 Republicans joining all Democrats present in voting against the bill. State Rep. Tim Yocum, R-Clinton, voted against the bill in the House Elections and Apportionment Committee and on the House floor.

State Reps. Michael Aylesworth, R-Hebron; Julie Olthoff, R-Crown Point; Hal Slager, R-Schererville, and Ed Soliday, R-Valparaiso all voted in favor of mid-census redistricting.
