💨 Abstract

The article discusses the contentious issue of mid-decade redistricting in the U.S., particularly in Indiana, where the definition of "fair maps" has shifted to benefit partisan interests. Republicans and Democrats are using redistricting to create politically lopsided districts, potentially reducing power for minority communities and diminishing diverse representation in Congress. States like Texas, California, Missouri, North Carolina, and Ohio have already redrawn districts, with more changes possible before the 2026 midterms.
