The Senate Elections Committee heard Monday from more than 100 people, most of whom spoke in opposition to mid-census redistricting, as the Senate begins its review of the House-passed Congressional map.

House Bill 1032, which addresses mid-census redistricting and gives Republicans an advantage in all nine congressional districts, was discussed by the Senate Elections Committee Monday. As of press time, the committee hadn’t yet voted on the bill.

The proposed map, which was released last week, splits the current First District, held by U.S. Rep. Frank Mrvan, D-Highland, into two and the Seventh District, currently held by U.S. Rep. André Carson, D-Indianapolis, into four sections.
