Indiana House approves a Republican-drawn congressional map, igniting debate over gerrymandering and electoral fairness amidst national redistricting controversies.

In a contentious session, the Indiana House has approved a new congressional map proposed by Republicans. The map, which redraws district boundaries, has sparked debate over gerrymandering and fairness in elections. Democrats argue that the new map gives Republicans an unfair advantage, while Republicans defend it as necessary for representation. The bill's passage comes amidst a nationwide battle over redistricting and voting rights. Critics fear the map will disenfranchise minority voters and consolidate Republican power. The Senate is set to review the map next, setting the stage for further political showdowns.
