The Stack: Indiana Redistricting And The Fight For Federalism
Indiana’s redistricting battle is far bigger than new congressional lines—it’s a real-time civics lesson on federalism, state sovereignty, and who actually represents Hoosier values in Washington. Todd explains why states—not D.C.—are supposed to drive policy, serving as “laboratories” that learn from one another. He also dismantles the emotional, often incoherent objections to the map, from claims of racism to bizarre Russia references.
At stake, Todd argues, is whether Indiana sends representatives who defend the state from federal overreach, runaway inflation, and the left’s use of illegal immigration to dilute political power. He also compares how states like Texas, California, Virginia, and Florida are pursuing their own mid-cycle maps. This episode underscores why redistricting matters nationwide—and why Hoosiers have only days left to make their voices heard.

📝 Transcript: Indiana Redistricting And The Fight For Federalism
The Todd Huff Show – December 10, 2025
Todd Huff: Attention. You're listening to the Todd Huff show, America's home for conservative, not bitter. Talk and education. Be advised. The content of this program has been documented to prevent and even cure liberalism and listening may cause you to lean to the right.
Todd Huff: And now, coming to you from the full suite wealth studios, here's your conservative but not bitter host todd huff. All right, my friends, I've got some feedback from people who want to see redistricting stopped in Ind.
Todd Huff: Indiana, in fact, We've got. Some comments from a state senator and giving his reasons for opposing it. I want to talk about those again. I know this has been an Indiana centric couple of weeks here, but.
Todd Huff: This is a nationwide issue, as you know. Texas has redistricted. California has redistricted. Was in the process of doing so after passing the referendum. Missouri has. We've got. North Carolina. We've got Virginia, Florida.
Todd Huff: Others that are looking Illinois others that are looking at doing. The same thing. And so, again, this is the prerogative of state legislatures. You will not hear me going to a Capitol building and channing. Cheater, cheater. That's what they do. Of course, when I'm at the podium at the state house or Governor Braun or whoever else.
Todd Huff: Was speaking that day, but that is not how this. We won't be inconsistent here. We'll be very consistent, because truth matters. Truth? Doesn't bend to our whims and desires. As I've said from the beginning. This is 100% the prerogative of our state legislature. There's nothing that prevents them from doing this. But half of the people in this state and half of the people in this country just won't hear any of that.
Todd Huff: While being totally cool with what's happened in states like Illinois, of course, California. In the past saying that Republicans started. That's just factually not correct either. This is Republicans fighting back.
Todd Huff: This is not too different, really. From how Trump. Kind of came to national prominence here. It's different, but there's a similarity. The left has a way of dealing with republican presidents, republican politicians.
Todd Huff: And normally, that is if you do something that we don't like, we the left. We come after you personally. We make your life. A living hell and try to intimidate you into changing your positions and so forth and. That's usually what happens. But along came this guy named Donald Trump. I know I've.
Todd Huff: Shared this with you many times before, but along came this guy named Donald Trump, and when they did that to him when they attacked him and came after him.
Todd Huff: He basically doubled down, tripled down, quadrupled down. And the reason. We're to this fever pitch is because. Trump won't back down. And the Democrat Party playbook, the media's Playbook. Simply says, hey.
Todd Huff: Every time. They respond, we ratchet it up. Well, what happens when both sides have that mentality and that's where we are today, at least with the Trump side of the Republican Party there's. Plenty of Republicans that are dying for an opportunity.
Todd Huff: To surrender, including. Those that voted against this in the House, including my representative, Peggy Mayfield. In the Indiana House and those who are vowing to vote against it as Republicans in the Senate as well.
Todd Huff: So again, I'm not saying you can't have your reasons and rationale, but. Provide them. So I want to talk about this today. I want to talk about the objection I heard. It leads us into a conversation about federalism, which I love to talk about these things. Matter. It turns out, the way this country was framed,
Todd Huff: Matters a lot. The way that our government was set up, the way our states were. Remained autonomous and able to have control over what happens within their borders and so forth. And at all this stuff, all this stuff that the left has been crying that this is a war on.
Todd Huff: Democracy. They've been telling people for years, basically, that we live in a pure democracy and this is a civics. Lesson for anybody who really wants to learn and pay attention in real time, and that's why? On the one hand.
Todd Huff: The stakes are high. So this is not simply for entertainment. For me. We have to win this. But in another sense, it's good to have something.
Todd Huff: In the. National spotlight or the narrative here that requires people to have to, well, at least gives them the opportunity. I don't know that it requires them to. Requires or give them the opportunity.
Todd Huff: To be able to learn, to be able to learn what we really have in this country and I think that's a good thing. So coming to you here from the full, sweet wealth. Studios. My pleasure to be here, my friends.

Todd Huff: I've been begging people on the don't redistrict side to tell. Me why? And I've gotten. A. I don't normally get responses. Now you'll get responses from the unhinged. Radical leftist or the people who have just bought the narrative of the day coming out of the Democrat party, the media hook, line and sinker. These are folks who.
Todd Huff: Believe exactly what they're being told by the talking heads, by the mainstream media. By the professional deceivers. In our mist and they run with it. But we've addressed these objections. Everybody in the state of Indiana or wherever they live has a representative. Just because you don't get your preferred representative doesn't mean that.
Todd Huff: You seek to have representation. The identity politics of the day, the folks who simply believe in engaging in superficialities and that everything is about race and ethnicity. Those folks will say that people are trying to silence certain voices or that they're being racist and so forth.
Todd Huff: Race is not what this is about. This is about political ideas. I've gone through what this is about? I've been talking about this for a couple of weeks now. This is. About Indiana. Making sure that her voice is not diluted. In Washington, DC, this is about Indiana.
Todd Huff: Sending people to Congress. Who stand up for our sovereignty, who do not truly bow to Washington DC, to a federal government. That's gotten too big and too bloated. This is about sending representatives to Washington. DC that are not going to participate in law fare trying to take down the president of the United states using what I.
Todd Huff: Call the Seinfeld Newman strategy, which is whatever it takes as long as it takes them. So long as it takes Donald Trump away from the White House or at least stops his agenda. From getting out and being implemented here.
Todd Huff: In this great nation. This is about sending politicians to Washington, DC who do not burden Hoosiers. With things that come from inflation. Now, you've seen, in fact, I've got it in my stack of stuff. Caroline Lovett was talking with, I think, Fox and Friends or it was someone on Fox News yesterday where she's going after the Democrats.
Todd Huff: Who are talking about. This affordability crisis we're in as though. They're part of the solution. My friends, they caused this. Inflation. Hear me say this. Don't even take my word for it. Go and Google.
Todd Huff: Milton Friedman. Milton Friedman. Go Google Milton Friedman and listen to what the great economist Milton Friedman had to say. About. Inflation. There is one cause, my friends, for inflation. Inflation is caused by the federal government. It's not caused by the state government. It's. Not caused by.
Todd Huff: Corporations. It's not caused by greedy, evil corporations, or even it's not caused by trade unions. It's not caused by any person in this country, even if they're people who are radical and deranged. It is caused by our federal government. It is a specific phenomenon.
Todd Huff: Where they create more money. Than the actual value of goods and services that's being produced. In our economy, they produce an excess amount of money. That means they've diluted the value of the currency that's out there. That means the dollars you make today are worth. Less. That means the money that's in your retirement is worth less. That's what happens.
Todd Huff: Inflation hits everything across the board. Inflation doesn't target one particular industry. Say the price of gas or groceries or electronics or whatever. There are other things that can cause. Prices to increase.
Todd Huff: In a variety of. Wherever. For example, if there's an oil embargo or if OPEC decides to reduce production of oil dramatically, that will increase impact the price. Of gas at the gas pumps, but. It's lazy to call any raise, any increase in cost inflation. I understand.
Todd Huff: Words mean things. And we've gotten lazy. And inflation has come to mean anytime something goes. Up in cost, and I understand in a practical sense that, yeah. You don't care. If something goes up in cost, the prices go up.
Todd Huff: Then that impacts your wallet. And on one hand you could say it doesn't matter to me why, but I would say on another hand, it absolutely should. Because if it is due to policy. You can't get mad at the businesses. You can't get mad at the unions or anybody else. You got to be mad and angry at our federal government.
Todd Huff: And it's people like the Democrats that are sent to Washington, DC, who lead us to incredibly high amounts of. Inflation, you know that. In Biden's term, inflation hit a 50. I think it was a 50 year high.
Todd Huff: Inflation like we had not seen in half a century. That's because it's all rooted in their desire to spend money. Spend money, more money than we have, massively more money than we have, and. The more additional money the government's spending, and that's not being created in the private sector, and it's not being directly taxed from individuals.
Todd Huff: It's going to be paid for in the form of inflation. That is the only. You either borrow it, you tax it, or you create. The. You get it through inflation. That's the way that it works. Those are the only options that exist to pay for the things. This laundry list of ridiculous things. The radical left wants to pay for.
Todd Huff: Anytime Indiana sends or wherever, whatever state you're from, but I'm speaking specifically to mine, because this is where the battle is being waged right now. Wherever this battle or wherever we send, I should say.
Todd Huff: A representative to Washington, DC, who, when. They're being going through the process of the campaign. A Democrat here will try to position himself or herself. As a moderate, very rarely can you win as an open leftist in a place like Indiana, you might be able to in New York City, but a lot of people.
Todd Huff: In this area. Are still not prepared to endorse socialism and communism and Carl Marx and all of that. So they pretend to be something that they're not in order to get elected, and then. They go to Washington DC and they vote for radicals to lead their party, to form their agenda. And they typically vote in lockstep with the leadership.
Todd Huff: You combine that, as I've said before, with the illegal immigration problem which this country had again under Biden, under the radical left. This was not an example of just something getting out of control. This was what they wanted. They wanted to overwhelm the system. They wanted to use.
Todd Huff: Illegal immigration to impact. The well, the way. That congressional seats were allocated because they used illegal immigrants in the count. I went through all this. So when we send a representative who's a Democrat to Washington, DC, they don't. Reflect who's your values. They don't even oftentimes reflect who's your democrat values, and so I've given you.
Todd Huff: The reasons why I'm against this. Repeatedly I've added to them. I'm firmly established in this camp of wanting Indiana to vote for. This new map. And I think you should, too. And I think you've got one day. Basically, this could be voted on tomorrow.
Todd Huff: In the Indiana state House. You've got one last day to reach out to, Congressman or. To senators specifically. It's already past the House of Representative, the House here in Indiana, but to reach out to senators and let them know.
Todd Huff: Kindly, politely, none of. I don't need to tell you this. But no threatening or anything like that. Just let them know that you're in favor of this you can call. You can email, whatever. But they need to know what is at stake here. And I will say this. I wouldn't. Say this on the call.
Todd Huff: But. If there are organizations and individuals who are poised to come in and to primary these individuals who are Republicans that do not vote for this. I mean, this is an important thing. They need to know that we find this to be very important.
Todd Huff: And listen, you might have to even. Tell them. You know what? I can stomach a lot of my disagreements with you, and I could support you moving forward in the next election. If you support this. This is that important?
Todd Huff: I can overlook some of our other differences here. I can support you if you just. If you. Support this. If you don't, then you have crossed into an area where I think your decisions are contributing to the problems that we have.
Todd Huff: In this nation, and so. That's my opposition. Or I guess. My support. The reason I support. These maps, and I've addressed some of the, I guess some of the things people have said as to why that they opposed this. But I do want to talk about one of the new reasons. I heard yesterday from a senator speaking in the Indiana state House. I don't.
Todd Huff: Have the clip. I saw it. I made a middle note of it as I was going through. My show prep. I thought. I think I want to talk about this, and that's what I want to talk about. So the reason that this particular.
Todd Huff: State senator is apparently opposed to. Indiana passing these new maps is because the idea came from outside of the state of Indiana and so apparently, if the idea comes from the outside of the state,
Todd Huff: We have to reject it. If that's the way it works, then. I would say. Then I would say I hope all the radical leftists in this country send us all of their ideas so that I can present them to this senator and say, here are all the bad ideas that Indiana should never.
Todd Huff: Accept, and I guess you should be against these because these emails came from places like Illinois. The People's Republic of California and Washington DC. See, for me, the idea is about the merit. Now, let me say this.
Todd Huff: I believe in. Federalism. Federalism is this concept that says. The power. That there is power that remains with the state. In fact, if you look at the 10th Amendment, to the US constitution. It basically says that.
Todd Huff: Anything not specified in the constitution. Anything that's not delegated, a power that's given. Through the consent of the governed to the federal government through the constitution. Is reserved to the people and to the states.
Todd Huff: And so the way it's supposed to work is Congress, the federal government. The executive branch. They're only supposed to be doing things that. Are explicitly. Stated or powers that are explicitly given to them in the US constitution, and then anything else is supposed to be reserved to the people and to the states. And so what's supposed to happen is that you have 50. What we used to call in school and elsewhere in some conversations. But.
Todd Huff: This isn't common vernacular, but you might have heard it the laboratories of the states and so what this does is it says, hey, instead of having a federal government, that's forcing its will down the throats of the american people. They're controlling.
Todd Huff: Everything that happens in this country, top down approach to the economy, top down approach to. Education, health care, and then states are supposed to do exactly what the federal government tells them.
Todd Huff: That is not the way that this country was set up. In fact, What's supposed to happen is the federal government is only supposed to do those things. That are. Well, granted it. Through the Constitution, and then the states are doing everything else. And what you have is you have independent laboratories. You can look and states can say, man, what worked in Iowa?
Todd Huff: Let's take a portion of that, or let's take all of that and let's apply that in Indiana or what happened in Oklahoma. Wow. That was a good thing. Let's implement that. In our state, this is. How you can test and measure results and how you can improve.
Todd Huff: You can see what works. And of course, the idea would be if it is successful in other states. Then states would look at that and say, wow, how can we implement that in our state? That's the way that it's supposed to work.
Todd Huff: Obviously, in that example. There may be things that other states are doing. There may be things that people outside of our state recommend that we can then decide for ourselves. So. It's preposterous to say that you're against this because of federalism.
Todd Huff: Because federalism is the laboratory of the states, and we should precisely be listening to or learning from what's happening elsewhere so that we can institute best practices in our state. So just. Because the idea came from somebody.
Todd Huff: In Trump's administration from Trump himself or from Trump's administration or whoever that's. Not the merits upon which we should be judging this. We should be judging it based upon the actual. Merits the actual reasons which.
Todd Huff: I gave to you my reasons in this program today. And throughout the course of the last two weeks. This is not. Serious opposition to this particular issue. I will tell you as well. I had. A stupid response on Facebook.
Todd Huff: And this is how you know. The other side has nothing to say of value. I'm going to read you this. It's loading. This was posted. By a guy named. It's Timothy. I'm not going to give you his full name, even though it is on social media.
Todd Huff: So again. His reason, I guess, for supporting this. This is a response he had to one of my comments. Some people he says love pedophile, pontiff and all his hatreds, especially the bigotry and racism. Indianapolis doesn't.
Todd Huff: So. I guess if you support Trump, You support, according to these lunatics here. You're a bigot. You're a racist. You support hate? And. You? I guess a port. Pedophiles. That's the argument. That's the argument. That's the argument against redistricting, I guess.
Todd Huff: Who has the hatred, by the way. You don't have to agree with me, Timothy, but I do think you should be in adults, and this clearly does not meet that standard. All right. Need a square up here to wrap up the first segment. Take a quick time out. Friends. Let me remind you that if you're looking to.

Todd Huff: Welcome back, my friends. Talking here about, of course, redistricting talking.
Todd Huff: Also about. Federalism which I know may sound. Like. An incredibly boring term, but. It's important because that's apparently, as I stated at last segment, that's apparently one of the reasons that people.
Todd Huff: Oppose. At least one state representative opposes. Redistricting here in Indiana, and that, of course, makes no sense, as I shared earlier, did you see, I forget who it was, but. There was a state senator. I believe he was a senator. He could have been a representative, but. I'm pretty sure it was a state senator who said that he was against redistricting. And I'm going to listen.
Todd Huff: I'm going to use a word here that. I don't want to say. But I'm just using it in a quote so that you know what I'm talking about? But you may have seen Donald Trump. Call Tim Walls again. This is Trump's words, not mine. I'm just telling you. What he called him.
Todd Huff: I'm going to use a word that some will find offensive. I'm just simply telling what it is, so. You know the reason that this representative is against redistricting. So if you don't. Want someone to hear it.
Todd Huff: Tune it off in three. Two, one. The term. Is retarded. So Trump called Tim Walls retarded. This. Made one representative here in Indiana. I think he was a senator. I could be wrong. And he said, look,
Todd Huff: I have. Someone in his family has down syndrome, and for that reason, I'm against. That redistricting. Now, listen, I understand if you don't like what Trump said. I'm not a big fan of that myself. Whatever.
Todd Huff: The issue here. Though, is that. You should consider the merits. Of the argument based upon the merits of the argument. Where would this end? Right. Where would we end this? Where would this line of reasoning take us if we took it to the nth degree? I mean, it would lead us to utter madness, to where no one would be endorsing, supporting. Opposing ideas based upon the merit of the ideas it would just be all about.
Todd Huff: Who's in favor of it, and you would never talk about the reasons why, which is? What I'm interested in. Actually, I remember when I was talking. About this with a group of friends last week, and I said, listen, I'm more inclined to do almost the opposite of that. I'm inclined even when someone that I think is wrong on virtually everything when they come up with a good idea.
Todd Huff: If I think it's a good idea. I'm going to work with them to see that get accomplished, that idea be implemented, that piece of legislation. Be passed or whatever. I wouldn't say because it's a good idea.
Todd Huff: But I don't like something that you said last week or month. In another conversation. That has nothing to do with this. I'm against the idea. That's lunacy, my friends. That's craziness. Again, these are the reasons that.
Todd Huff: We are given. In fact, I've got another reason here from Veronica. On Facebook that says they talking about the representatives in Indiana. The Senate in particular, now have a chance to do the right thing. Which again, what is the right thing, Veronica? Do what you want. To do politically. But anyway, she says, and stand as a bulwark against a corrupt and violent political administration in Washington.
Todd Huff: So her point is the right thing to do is to stand against redistricting because Trump's administration is corrupt. And violent. I suppose she means ice in the streets. Is what's violent? I don't know.
Todd Huff: What else she would be referring to. I know she's not referring to Ben Ghazi when Obama was in office and when Hillary left those folks. To basically fend for themselves because it might impact her campaign.
Todd Huff: I know she's not talking about the violence of Biden when he abandoned. People in Afghanistan? Tens of thousands. I think the number was 15,000. And many people died. In Afghanistan. In fact, we've had the individual who shot the National Guard in Washington, DC. Was one of the individuals.
Todd Huff: Who came from Afghanistan and all that mayhem and just chaos that was there. So what violence are they talking about? Listen. If you follow the instructions of ice, if you don't interfere with what they're trying to do. There is no violence. In fact, most of the violence I'm not here. I can't defend uniformly every ice agent out there, but it seems to me that the violence comes when.
Todd Huff: They are trying to prevent ice from doing its job, which is, by the way, In accordance with the law. Why is it not violence to allow criminal, illegal aliens to stay in our country. Why is it not violence to allow gang members.
Todd Huff: To stay in our country. People who harm and even kill. American citizens. Why is that not violence, Veronica? I don't know what you're talking. About the violent political administration. In Washington, but she says it's not easy. Granted that.
Todd Huff: But they did sign up to represent the people of Indiana, not Trump and Putin. I mean, this is literally. The arguments against this, not Trump and Putin. You realize that that whole russian collusion delusion has been disproven.
Todd Huff: 100%. It is insane. To have ever believed that stupid narrative. As I've said on this program many times, to think that the last step. In a conspiracy is an advertising campaign that tricks Hillary voters into voting for Trump. That's what it was. That was the whole argument.
Todd Huff: And here we are, ten years later. And Veronica still thinks that we shouldn't redistrict because we need Democrats to. Go and oppose Trump because he's tied to Putin. I mean, this is bonkers. My friends. This is wild stuff.
Todd Huff: And by the way, if you're a person who opposes. Redistricting right now. These are the people speaking for you. I have gone everywhere. I know. I have gone on social media. I have said it on this program. I mentioned it when I spoke at the Capitol building.
Todd Huff: I invited those people. Haven't heard from a single one of them. By the way, I invited those people. I invite you. I said to come onto my program and let's talk. About this. Let's reason together. Let's talk about your objections and your rationale here. But I hear nothing. I see. People.
Todd Huff: Who will like comments that say Indiana doesn't want this. And I say, why just tell me why? I've gotten it from zero people. Zero people. And so right now, since you won't tell me, there may be good reasons.
Todd Huff: I've gone through them. I just shared the one about. This is a violation, I guess. Of federalism of state's rights, which is preposterous. We're voting on it. Now, if it was a violation of state's rights, Trump just would have instituted it, and the state legislature wouldn't have voted on it. But that's not the way it works.
Todd Huff: We still have the rule of law in this country. Indiana did not have to take it up. But for the reasons I've outlined. Those are the reasons. Some of the reasons, a lot of the reasons why. Indiana is doing this and why I support it. Veronica is over here talking about Putin. Putin has zero to do with this is preposterous. She continues. There's no secret that Trump's administration is part of a crime syndicate.
Todd Huff: The world is she talking about? But even worse is that he is working for Putin. I am not making this. This is literally what it says. This was in response to something at the Indianapolis Star. I'm reading it verbatim.
Todd Huff: But even worse is that he is working for Putin. Indiana needs to stand firm and not let red dawn happen. My good red dawn. I'm a child of the watched. Red dawn. Do you know what that is? Red Dawn? For those of you who may not know, is a movie where Russia, the Soviet Union, the communist.
Todd Huff: USSR. Invaded with paratroopers and everything else. The United States of America. I remember as a kid. We actually played guns. We played guns, toy guns, out in the woods. Made our gun noises and. Everything else.
Todd Huff: And we would play things like Red Dawn and Tour of Duty. So this is their argument. Putin and Red Dawn. What in the world, Veronica, I asked her, do you work for CNN? Because. I'm half tempted to believe she does. Anyway, this is the opposition.
Todd Huff: I am pleading with those of you who aren't in favor of this to come. And at least not let these radical leftist lunatics speak for you because they're the ones that are speaking for you right now. They're the ones I saw at the state. House chanting and all that sort of stuff.
Todd Huff: This is all I know. I'm asking you to tell me, and nobody has. Friends. If you're curious about. Kratom or just trying to figure out who to trust. Let me introduce you to Christopher's.

Todd Huff: In this, the final segment of today's program. My friends, let's face it, there's a lot of companies out there that don't share our christian values, but the good news is that you don't have to invest in them at Four Eight Financial, they specialize in.

Todd Huff (Sponsor): Your values matter. And so does your money, my friends. So let's really quickly here, look at some other states. Of impact here. For. This redistricting. Issue. Texas, you know, has already. Passed. I'm looking here at an article at TheHill.com. From probably a week ago.
Todd Huff: But of course. Texas passed. A new map back earlier this year. California. Passed proposition 50, which was a. Well, a proposition, a referendum that. Gave the legislature. The ability to draw these maps. Now, a lot of people see that or hear that, and they think Indiana didn't do that. Texas didn't do that. That's because.
Todd Huff: Again. The rules that states have are set by the states. And so California had a certain process that they followed for drawing maps. They wanted to change that. And so they had to do this. This is how they had to do it. We don't. Have to do it here. And in the end.
Todd Huff: I'm not going to repeat what's happening in Indiana. You know, it's passed the house. It's gone through the beginning phases. The first reading. There should be some stuff that happens today. This could be voted on in its final form. The final vote could literally be tomorrow, Thursday, or.
Todd Huff: Friday. So in the next couple of days this week, it is likely that this issue is going to be resolved. Here in the state of Indiana, so. This is your last chance. I know you might think. Hey. I've not called yet. It's something I have on my to do list. This takes a couple of minutes.
Todd Huff: This is the moment where you can make your voice heard and you can be counted. Someone who can call in and tell. Your senator. What it is that you expect them to do. With these maps. And if you share my thinking, you want them to pass these maps. Virginia Democrats. Again, according to TheHill.com, I've seen this elsewhere.
Todd Huff: Reported as well. But Virginia Democrats have begun the process of moving forward with their redrawn map. They passed a mid decade redistricting bill in October that allowed lawmakers to initiate the process. It's funny because.
Todd Huff: I hear. I have heard about. People who talk about this, and they say this is all in response to Indiana. Well, they passed it back in October. How's that? In response to Indiana. Indiana didn't call this session.
Todd Huff: Until about a month or so ago. So doesn't seem like that's consistent to me, but regardless, it's their prerogative. I'm going to be remarkably consistent on this. Lawmakers now need to pass it one more time. The Hill reads here.
Todd Huff: In the state legislature, which they're expected to do fairly, which they're expected to do easily. So probably won't see conservatives descend on the state house and chant in Richmond, ridiculous nonsense.
Todd Huff: That I had to endure here at our statehouse, but I'm happy to do it. My friends. It was entertaining to me. That will tee up. This article says a vote, a constitutional amendment before voters for a special election. Which they're aiming to do in the spring and summer.
Todd Huff: This new map is created. Excuse me. Expected to create at least two additional Democrat leaning districts. Missouri. We already know passed the house map earlier, a new map earlier this year. Should yield potentially one more GOP seat in the state of Missouri.
Todd Huff: North Carolina. Republicans there advanced a new congressional map in October. Which they should be able to turn potentially. Again, none of this stuff is guaranteed. That's the other thing. The more districts you try to squeeze out of your state, the more.
Todd Huff: Statistically competitive they're all going to become because. You're spreading your party's votes out over more districts. North Carolina might be able to. Get. Another seat there. In Utah, a judge handed a win to Democrats by choosing a House map for 2026 that gives the party.
Todd Huff: One pickup opportunity, one seat in the house they could pick up. It doesn't tell me what seat that is. Florida. A Florida House redistricting panel. Is set to convene. Well, I think they convened last week.
Todd Huff: For its first meeting as Republicans look to move forward with new maps there, Governor Ron DeSantis said in an interview with The Floridian that he's planning to call a special session, likely between March and May. This is going to happen, my friends, potentially in lots of places. Ohio, Maryland, New York.
Todd Huff: I got others as well, but I'm out of time. My friends, thank you so much. For listening. Have a great day, SDG.
