Indiana Senate Bill 80 - Something Smart

Got an e-mail from State Senator Connie Lawson titled “Objective Redistricting Reforms Pass Senate”

One of her objectives in Senate Bill 80 is “Simply-shaped, compact districts.”

While that one caught my eye first, here is the total list of items:
• Preservation of traditional neighborhoods;
• Preservation of local communities of interests;
• Protection of minority voting rights;
• Simply-shaped, compact districts; and
• Respect for county and precinct lines.

Senator Lawson I invite you to come to Fishers and view the new jigsaw puzzle voting districts designed to protect those in office and to avoid every single one of the objectives of Senate Bill 80. Maybe you should expand that Bill to include local elections at the Town and City level.

Fishers, IN is an example of gerrymandering at its best.
