| 0:00.0 | We got a D earned a D 1133. It's kind of in KC on 93 WIBC. So Indiana is |
| 0:13.2 | redistricting earned a D according to a national report card. All right. So every |
| 0:21.5 | 10 years for the with the coincide with the US census, the congressional |
| 0:27.4 | representation is is handed out based on population, et cetera, and states are |
| 0:33.8 | required as our municipalities to redraw maps to have accurate population |
| 0:40.2 | representation. And this generally and Democrats do it the same way Republicans |

| 1:38.7 | north of that, you go to Becky Cash's district. That makes no sense for the |
| 1:44.5 | town of Brownsburg, which is an actual community, right? That in the center of |
| 1:49.6 | town, you would have separate representation. They draw, they being the Indiana |
| 1:53.8 | General Assembly, the Republicans, those maps, you give enough for Republican votes. |
| 1:58.3 | They look at and say, okay, we got the district. Right. So that the so that this |
