| 0:14.9 | So the redistricting battle has hit Indiana. |
| 0:18.1 | We know what the governor has to say about it. |
| 0:20.8 | We know thus for kind of what Republican governor has to say about it. We know thus for kind of what Republican |
| 0:23.6 | leadership has to say about it. What's the other side of the aisle have to say? Let's find out. |
| 0:27.7 | It's Kennell Casey's show. I'm Rob Casey's here. Join us now in studio. Mitch Gore, |
| 0:31.4 | Democrat representative. Mitch, hello. Hey. All right. So have you guys been given any sort of, I don't know, directive? I mean, look, it's pretty obvious. It's partisan politics. That's it. Period. Full stop. And that's, that's gross. It's a manipulation of the electoral system. But have you guys been given in like in like, from a governmental perspective?

Well, and this is what, and I'm just curious that, you know, you're in the state house, even though there's not a session going on. You're talking to your colleagues. Look, they just drew these. Was it two years ago? Three years ago, you guys drew these? Yeah, 21. Yeah, 21. So four years ago, time flies, right? But it wasn't that long ago. And they just said these maps are fair.
