The Stack: Indiana Redistricting And The Fight To Save The House
Indiana is now a national focal point as lawmakers reopen the congressional map ahead of the 2026 midterms. Critics are calling the revised districts “cheating” and “rigging,” but the reality is much simpler: redistricting is a legal political tool — one both parties have used whenever power and timing align. With the GOP holding one of the narrowest House majorities in modern history, and with Democrats openly weaponizing investigations, lawfare, and federal agencies, the stakes could not be higher.
Todd breaks down why the left’s talking points about “proportional representation,” “silencing voters,” and “splitting communities” misunderstand both constitutional design and political math. He also explains why concerns about open borders, illegal aliens counted in the census, and radical policy agendas make House control even more consequential.
This episode cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of what the fight is really about: stopping an aggressive, committed political movement using every available lever of power — and answering it with equal determination.

📝 Transcript: Indiana Redistricting And The Fight To Save The House
The Todd Huff Show – December 2, 2025
Host: Todd Huff
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. 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, the state of Indiana, the great state of Indiana is now front and center.
Todd Huff: In this nation's latest. Political. Battle, I suppose. As we've started the process. Where the General Assembly. Our state legislature. Is beginning the process of reviewing. Redistricting, and there are all sorts of, I don't know, misunderstandings, misrepresentations. Faulty claims. Listen, you do not have to be in favor of redistricting. I am. I've. Made it clear on this program. Multiple times. I've made it clear in an open letter I wrote to. state senator roderick bray who by the way who still he still has not gotten back to me crickets.
Todd Huff: All over the place. Which is inexcusable. In its own right. Not just because. By the way, to be clear, not because it's for me. I'm. A constituent. I'm a constituent. I think. There's somewhere around. There's just a few thousand votes that are even cast. In this district. He surely could respond to constituents, but he's not. He's not. Doing that. And listen, I know that this is intense. I'm getting a lot of people that are upset at me, and that's fine. Listen, it comes with the territory. If you're not prepared.
Todd Huff: To deal with some metaphorical arrows here. You're not cut out for politics, you're? Not. Cut out to discuss these things on the program. Now, I know that this is Indiana centric. Today, and we've got listeners all over the country. But again, this is of. National importance because. Depending in part, maybe in large part. On what happens here in Indiana, and then, of course, what happens in the election next November. Could determine who's in charge of the House of Representatives. That could determine my friends if we're going to continue to dig out of this mess that we've been led into.
Todd Huff: By the lovers of big government or whether we are going to have years. Two years. At least. Trump's final two years. Of investigations, impeachment, obstruction, weaponization of government. Listen. I don't want to overstate this, but we are in the fight for the survival. Of our constitutional republic. Make no mistake about it, that is what's going on here in fact.
Todd Huff: Maybe even. For. This is the fight for the survival of western civilization. We have to win this. You cannot compromise politically with people who are diametrically opposed. Have a diametrically opposed. worldview than those of us who are constitutional conservatives we have to defeat them and i mean politically I mean politically. I don't mean anything beyond that, but we have to win this politically. We have to make sure that we don't lose.
Todd Huff: This fight for the sake of our Republicans. So I want to talk about this today. This certainly applies. This overall discussion applies because. This is happening in many states, and it might be happening. In others in the future as well. So that's where we're headed today. I welcome you to the program. You can always share your thoughts, opinions, feedback, all of that. Todd@toddhuffshow.com. You can share those opinions on social media as well.
Todd Huff: Facebook's probably the best place to do that right now, but we're on Instagram. As well. Our YouTube and TikTok channels have been on hold for a bit as we're. Restructuring some things, but we'll be back there in short order as well. Anyway, what I want to do here is hit the ground running with that. But before I do, my friends, before. We do that. I know many of you are dealing with discomfort.
Todd Huff (Sponsor): Some of you are tired of living off of prescriptions and managing. Those side effects. Those side effects can be nasty, by the way, and you're not alone. A lot of folks are looking for something natural they can trust. That's why I think you should check out Christopher's organic botanicals. It's a family run natural kratom.

Todd Huff (Sponsor): Huff, you'll save 10% off your first order. Again. Christopher's organic botanicals.com. that's Christopher's organic botanicals.com truth tradition. And transparency. All right? We're in the process of.
Todd Huff: Re what I want to say. Making some changes to the program, and one of the things we're ramping up now is. Just the process of doing more. Interviews, which there's a lot of stuff going on. Besides. Behind the scenes, I should say. But in doing that, there's a couple of different types of people we would have and of course, people that.
Todd Huff: Can add to the conversation. Who? May be well known, like we've had Eric Trump and Mark Levitt on here to people who. Are representatives. We've had some representatives, of course, on here as well. Elected officials, other people. Who talk about the issues. But also. And sometimes people that I just find interesting. We've had people on here that I just wanted to talk with before and.
Todd Huff: Have a conversation, hear their stories, that kind of thing. But then there's another group, which. Includes people. Just average, everyday people. And we don't have a live call in number, but what we do have, we have the ability for people.
Todd Huff: To. We're putting this information together. The ability for people to actually. Come on the program. We'd schedule a time and talk and talk about what they want. To talk about with me. So we could get other opinions. And I've asked people. I've asked people especially.
Todd Huff: Those who don't share. My opinions on redistricting, which, by the way, I say that they're completely entitled. To those opinions. A lot of the things that we talk about. On this program. It's not even political anymore. We're talking about good versus evil in many things. Redistricting is not that.
Todd Huff: Redistricting might be a step towards being able to win the fight over good between good and evil. But you can be against redistricting and not be evil. Hear me say that. By the way. Hear me say that? There are certain issues. There's other issues, by the way, that I think that about as well. But when it comes to. Redistricting. That is a political exercise, a political opinion. You can be a conservative.
Todd Huff: And disagree with my assessment. You can certainly do that. And you're not immoral or evil or anything like that. There are issues that if you're on the wrong side of them. I think sometimes openly. Practicing. And enabling. Sometimes just pushing evil. But that's not the case here. But it is important. Still. It is important still. But I can't get people.
Todd Huff: Who will come on here and talk about and share their opinion and I don't know. If it's because they're just afraid of being put on the spot, I don't. Know if they think I'm going to be inappropriate or rude. I'm not going to do that. Again. We haven't done a ton of interviews, but that's not. the style of this program that's not what we're going to do i'm going to let people talk i'm going to.
Todd Huff: And this went out yesterday. But what I'm sharing here. This particular fact sheet. Opinion sheet, anyway. I just got last night, and I want to share what some of the objections are. I'm going to go through. This whole sheet and talk about some of their objections. I'm going to talk about other objections that are out there as. Well, including people who are claiming that it is against the Indiana state constitution, which we'll get to, but here's.
Todd Huff: What this fact sheet or opinion sheet statement, I guess, from mad voters says. It says four years. Ago, Indiana law. Insisted they had crafted a perfect. Congressional voting map that would serve Hoosiers well for the next ten years. Now, listen, I don't know about that. Maybe someone said that. Maybe that was in the statement.
Todd Huff: Maybe it sounds like something Trump would have said, although I don't think Trump would have. Said that, so I don't know. I can't attest to the validity of. This, but basically what they're saying is, why are you wanting to change a map that you said was perfect four years ago that it would serve Hoosier's well for the next ten years, and you only allowed it to. Be in place, or you're only allowing it to be in place for four years now. Pause for a minute. This is not remotely central to the argument.
Todd Huff: Even if someone said this, there's a tremendous amount of pressure, because of developments, because of realities that exist. And let me just go through those really quickly. Number one. Number one, the Republicans have a very narrow margin in the House of Representatives. That's a fact. Just a couple of seats. If a couple of seats flip, Democrats have control. That means immediately that.
Todd Huff: Investigations in the Trump. Will commence that. There will be probably impeachment votes and so forth. The weaponization of our government, true. Obstruction. Listen, I have no qualms. With legitimate investigations taking place. But I do have a problem using the People's House for political nonsense and political grandstanding to interfere with the elected.
Todd Huff: The agenda of the person who was elected to be president of the United States. Maybe his agenda doesn't get passed through Congress. But that's one thing. It's another thing. To use your powers to engage in political grandstanding and political theater. That is 100% what has happened. And it's not just that. It's not just that. There's. A little.
Todd Huff: Gamesmanship going on, it's that they've proven beyond a reasonable doubt. They on the left, the Democrat party. They are capable of weaponizing the government. This has happened without doubt. Against Donald Trump primarily, but it's been used in other senses as well.
Todd Huff: I go back to the lowest learner. Investigation when she was with the IRS and they were investigating or obstructing conservative groups. From being able to get. Their proper IRS status. It was a difficult process. They were targeting conservative groups, trying to delay them, keep them from getting on their mission. Just make life difficult for them and for these smaller nonprofits and so forth, that can be a very big barrier. You've got to be able to get out there and do your job there's. All sorts of examples of this.
Todd Huff: This started well before Trump entered the White House. They were spying on his campaign. I mean, I don't want to go through the whole thing. There was impeachment one and impeachment. Two. Russian collusion, delusion, all this stuff. Then there was everything that happened after January 6, claiming he was calling for an insurrection. An overthrow of our government, which, of course, is preposterous.
Todd Huff: They doctored or they edited. His speech. BBC is one of these folks. In fact, they may be looking at a lawsuit from Trump we talked about that not that long ago. But. There is this. They doctored what he was saying to mislead the people into making it look like.
Todd Huff: Even with the doctor tapes, there's a lot more to it, and reasonable people understand that. But it led many people to believe that Trump was calling for the people on January 6 to go down. To the Capitol building and just take it over, which is crazy. It's not what happened. But listen, I don't want to go through all that. You've seen this happen. You've seen the law change. Trump was the first to have certain charges brought against him. The 34 felonies is really.
Todd Huff: One alleged felony to have happened multiple times. And the law was changed in order to be able to. Or it was prosecuted in a way that has never been prosecuted before. I mean, Trump was the first in so many categories when it comes to what he's had to deal with. And we know that this is what happens. I've said it before, I will say it.
Todd Huff: Again to the radical left. I don't mean this to every democrat, but I will tell. You this. In Washington, DC. Many of these Democrats are radical leftists or they are highly influenced by the radical left and to the radical left government has got. I've gone through this extensively. Gone through this extensively. And they will do whatever it takes as long as it takes them. So long.
Todd Huff: As it takes Trump away from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, or at best, It prevents him from doing what he was elected to do. They will do whatever they can to stop this. This is the Seinfeld Newman strategy. I've been through this dozens and dozens and dozens of times. And this is their strategy. And so when you factor that in and you combine that with the fact that.
Todd Huff: This country. Was, I would say, intentionally harmed by the leftists when they are in political power. The left wants to remake this country into something that. It was never intended to be. The left hates this country as found that I know that that. Sounds like nails on a chalkboard. To many of your ears, it sounds like that to me. As well.
Todd Huff: I can't personally understand why someone would feel that way, but they absolutely do, wide open. Borders. Wide open borders. They didn't care what danger. They put Americans in. They were prepared to bring people into this country to cause havoc and turmoil. And ultimately.
Todd Huff: to change hopefully from their perspective the amount of people Who were voting for their insanity. You want to talk about real dilution of votes when we're talking here about redistricting? It's having open borders. Do you know, in 2020.
Todd Huff: That illegal aliens were counted in the census. I've shared this on here before as well. There were two reasons that they were given. This was an executive order given by Biden to count those folks. And.
Todd Huff: That absolutely impacted. Absolutely impacted how many representatives each state got. You want to talk about silencing the will? The voice of the american people, giving a voice to people who. Aren't even supposed to be here. You realize how crazy that is? There's no universe in which the illegal alien population should be counted towards the US census. But they say.
Todd Huff: It's for two reasons. Number one is to determine how many federal dollars are assigned to each area. Of the country based upon population, and it's also used to determine the number of representatives.
Todd Huff: The same people who are saying, who have problems with our state here in Indiana, redrawing districts according to the law. Are not saying a word about this. There are estimates. Listen, I'm not going to give the estimates that I think because I don't ultimately know.
Todd Huff: But if you're looking at, what is it? 20,000,015 to 20? Million illegal aliens in the country that could have been counted in the census. That is a lot. Of people. And there are states that. Lost representation because of illegal aliens. And there are states that gained representation getting additional seats. So the folks that enable us, the folks that empower.
Todd Huff: This sort of thing from happening are the Democrat parties, the folks who enable that to happen. They're Democrats. They're Democrats here in Indiana. They're Democrats all over the country. And so. What is wrong with people wanting to stop that with every, that's just one example by the way. Stop that. With every legal tool in their arsenal. Redistricting is a legal tool. Not illegal. It is.
Todd Huff: A legal tool. It is not immoral, it is not unethical. But this sheet here. That I'm referencing here says. But now some republican lawmakers are saying that this map the Indiana map needs to be redrawn six years early to ensure their party stays in. Power after the midterms.
Todd Huff: I've shared on here before. That's certainly an interpretation. This is a political exercise. This is a political fight. People like me are tired. We are tired of having this system used against us, and then when we try to respond.
Todd Huff: Or take action to fight back against. The side that wants open borders, no voter id. The side that counts illegal aliens in the census and literally creates. Congressional seats in states that shouldn't have these extra seats and takes them away from other states.
Todd Huff: They're lecturing us on wanting to figure out a way to keep. People. From being elected to enable this garbage to happen. That's what's at stake here. You cannot listen. They need to be stopped. At every, and we should use every legal and ethical moral tool at our exposal. At a disposal. It is 100% legitimate to use this as.
Todd Huff: one of those tools now they say that this is cheating this is election rigging it's disgraceful and unethical how tell me how Tell me how it is cheating. Tell me how it's cheating. It doesn't explain it. It just makes a statement. This is cheating. It says, how is it cheating? How is it rigging elections? You know, every person who registers to vote. I got to take a break here.
Todd Huff: Every person who registers to vote can still vote. Maybe if you're party Democrats would put together some same candidates. Maybe they could win elections. In fact, we've diluted republican votes. And spread them over more districts, so more districts should be in play.
Todd Huff: Are you going to be able to secure those votes? I don't know. It's. Possible. We'll see. Time will tell. Friends, I've got to take a break, but. Want to remind you that.

My friends back here in just a minute.
Todd Huff: Yes, my friend. Someone tell me how this is cheating. What is your definition of cheating? With these districts if they had been drawn in 2024 years ago or 2021, I guess after the 2020 census. If these districts had been drawn, then, would that have been cheating? What is your problem here. How is it cheating? How is it rigging elections?
Todd Huff: Listen, if you take political parties out of this mix, if you stop looking at this as Democrats, and Republicans if you stop looking at the overall vote. By the way, have you ever heard me complain about how Massachusetts draws their districts. I have made comments on how Illinois truly gerrymanders gerrymandering by the.
Todd Huff: Way refers to. Incredibly odd shaped districts. That go out of their way to group certain people, certain cities together. That is not what we have in. This particular instance. These are not gerrymandered. Indiana's proposed map here.
Todd Huff: Include. Basically, most of these areas are the entire county. Not every time. Sometimes it splits. Counties or cities, which, of course, Is where most Democrat voters are. Marion county, which is where Indianapolis is split into four districts. This is considered, I guess, immoral. I don't know why someone needs to explain that to. Me, is there something in the constitution? Is there something that comes.
Todd Huff: From the hand of God that says you can't. Split Marion county into four districts. Why not? I understand that it might put you at a political disadvantage, but. If you got your head on straight. Democrat party. And I'm not here to help you. Do that. I mean, listen, if it would move you away from radical leftism, if Democrats would care about the constitution against stop hating America as founded, stop electing people to leadership positions in congress who felt.
Todd Huff: That way. If the Democrat Party had an absolute. Reawakening in that sense. And it wasn't the anti american party that this actually could be good for everybody. But that's what the Democrats are going to have to do here.
Todd Huff: They're going to have to stop. Nominating people who are radical or people who are supporting radicals or a godless worldview. In our nation. Who do you think started this incredibly insane trans. Agenda. Who did that?
Todd Huff: Who gave us open borders? Who's given us government waste, fraud and abuse? Listen, I'm. Not here to say Republicans, and especially rhino Republicans. are nowhere to blame here that's not my point but the insane radical madness is 100% coming from the radical left which of course has found its home.
Todd Huff: In the Democrat party. Someone tell me how this is cheating, how it's rigging elections. It's remarkable to me, if you think about this. You go back to 2016. Democrats told us then that Trump stolen election by tricking Hillary voters. Into voting for Trump, into voting for him using Putin and his vast team of.
Todd Huff: Social media marketers who tricked them into voting for Trump. So to a Democrat. To the left today. Someone. Who? I guess election rigging involves a slick advertising campaign. That's not what election rigging. Is what election ringing is, is what the Republicans accuse Democrats of doing in 2020. If you've seen 2000 mules. I even said back in 2016.
Todd Huff: The last step in a master plan to steal an election is not an advertising campaign. I said, if this is how affected these advertisers are, these people who social media. Marketers were in 2016, every single company in the world, every single political campaign would have been hiring these people to run.
Todd Huff: Their campaigns. But that didn't happen. That was a narrative given to people who dare. I say we're just ignorant or willfully stupid to believe this nonsense. It was the dumbest thing I remember saying at the time. It's the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
Todd Huff: Pushed repeatedly on a national scale that people believed, and some people still believe. Election rigging involves tampering with votes. That's what that involves, election rigging. Involves trying to get people things like this, trying to get people who shouldn't be able.
Todd Huff: To cast ballots into the polling place. Getting a ballot into their hand, that's what election. Rigging looks like. Election rigging would look more like trying to get access to the tallies and trying to interfere with what the final outputs of the votes were. That's what rigging looks like. This is drawing boundaries.
Todd Huff: Where people within these boundary lines can cast their ballot for a particular. Race candidates who are in a particular race, and then the representative would represent those people. In that district, whatever shape it is. Look, if it's a contiguous shape, if it's. Not.
Todd Huff: A strangely drawn shape and. There's nothing dramatic here. The only thing you could say, potentially, is new district nine, which is where I would find myself. But that's a stress to say that. That's truly gerrymandered the term, by the way, gerrymandering comes from 1812, when.
Todd Huff: There was a seat drawn in Massachusetts that people said look like a salamander, so it turned into. The, I think the governor at the time. His name was something with the word jerry in it, so it became gerrymandered.
Todd Huff: It's going out of your way to draw absurd shapes. In order to get the outcome that you're trying to get. Compare this to Illinois, compare this to other states, and you'll find that this is incredibly mild and this is not gerrymander, but they say that this is disgraceful and unethical why? Tell me why.
Todd Huff: It's unethical. Tell me why. It's disgraceful. I had someone on. Social media say that she was embarrassed by this map. I asked her why. I asked her twice. Crickets? Nothing. Why is this embarrassing? What is it about this map that's embarrassing? What? Is it about this map that is election rigging? I don't even know what that means.
Todd Huff: How can a map be election rigging? And I mean, stopping people from voting would be election. Ringing. Allowing people who are not supposed to legally cast a ballot to vote, that's election. Rigging, dumping fake ballots.
Todd Huff: into the counting process would be election rigging Those are examples of election rigging. This is not. These are boundaries. Make your case. Campaign. Get support. For your candidate and get votes.
Todd Huff: That's not cheating. That's what this says. They think that they're making the case for cheating here. Continuing here, it says the proposed map released just. Hours before the 2026 session begins. Early splits Marion county into fourth, depriving residents.
Todd Huff: Depriving residents of our most populous city. Accurate representation. There's nothing that says Indianapolis has to have one representative. What does that even mean? What if Indianapolis had more than enough people?
Todd Huff: For even. One congressional district and you split it. Is that wrong? Again. What are the lines supposed to be? There's nothing that says any party should have. Any, a number of districts. There's no such thing as a republican seat or republican district. There's no such thing as a Democrat district. I understand in practice that there are these. Things because that's how we refer to them.
Todd Huff: If Republicans routinely win a district, you say that's a republican district and so forth, but that is just. In practice. There's nothing that says that anyone has a right to any of these things. And this idea of proportional representation.
Todd Huff: Is nothing at all like what the founders set forth. Just because 40% of this state votes Democrat in national elections does not mean that they win. 40% of the vote. I did a little bit of research, and I'm not going to be able to do this segment, but I'll talk about it in the next segment. You know, it's possible.
Todd Huff: If you're a fan of the NBA Finals. Of course, the Pacers went last year. The Pacers are not going this year. I think they're four and four and 17. I think. Gee whiz. Been decimated by injuries. That's another.
Todd Huff: Story. But it's possible. For your team. In the NBA finals, in the world series. To have more total points or runs than the opponent, but yet you lose the series that's. 100% possible it has happened.
Todd Huff: In the past. In fact, one example. The team that won the World Series. the team that lost the world series scored twice as many runs in the world series than Their opponent, the eventual winner of the World Series did, but that is possible, so.
Todd Huff: No one would say. Well, they scored more runs but lost more games, so they should win the world series. This is the rules of the game. This is how this is established. And I want to share a little bit about that on the other side of the break before I get to that, my friends, let's be honest.

Todd huff back in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. I'm going to share with you just an analogy here. 1960 World.
Todd Huff: Series between. Who was this between? The Pittsburgh Pirates? New York Yankees. Pittsburgh won the series four to three.
Todd Huff: Seven game series, but they were outscored in that series. 55 to 27. Now, that might sound like it doesn't make sense. The Yankees scored. What is that? 28 more runs. But yet they lost the series. And I'll explain this really quickly. It's the rules of the game. It doesn't matter.
Todd Huff: They know this. They know this. You can't score all your runs in one game. You can't have every vote in one district be for a Democrat and think that that should be applied equally. The stretch that people have to stretch is that they have to make to try to say that. This is some sort of immoral thing to do.
Todd Huff: Is wild to me. But again, we don't have any thinkers out there. There are some. I know you are, but I'm talking about in this larger conversation. There's just people who feel. They feel and they say things like, it's cheating. And then other people say, oh, gee. I don't want to be a cheater. And then we're having this is not cheating. Anyway, we get to that.
Todd Huff: in a moment my friends One of the well investments. Investments that we make are like seeds that we plant. They grow, they multiply. But are they? Bearing the kind of fruit that you want them to bear at four eight financial, they believe your money should reflect your values. They specialize in wealth management and biblically responsible investing. Screening out companies that do not align with your faith. It's all.
Todd Huff (Sponsor): Part of their purpose centered. Excuse me, financial planning. Helping you live a life of meaning and purpose. You can see they have the tools to help you see if and to what degree your current investments align with your values. I know some of you are thinking, oh, man, I don't. Want to get into this.
Todd Huff (Sponsor): I don't want to have to change the way my investments are allocated. I get it. It can be a hassle, but my friends. Do you really want your money to be funding the opposition? The political adversary.
Todd Huff (Sponsor): You're even worse. Something that you find morally, truly, morally repulsive. Like abortion. If you don't want to see those things being funded by your portfolio, go to four. Eightfinancial.com Todd that's four. Eightfinancial.com Todd take a quick assessment.
Todd Huff (Sponsor): And see to what degree your investments align with your values. Four. Eight. Financial. They're here. To worry about your money, so you don't have to, all right? I said really quickly. 1960 World Series. Yankees. Pirates. The Yankees. Excuse me. The pirates won.
Todd Huff: Four to three. Four games to three. But they were outscored 55 to 27. They were basically doubled up. They had twice as many runs scored against them than they scored, but they somehow won. And the reason they won is because the Yankees won three blowout games. One was 16.
Todd Huff: To three, one was ten to nothing, one was. Twelve to nothing. And the Pirates won four close games. They won one game, six to four another. Three to two, another five to two, and another ten to nine. So they won four games that were close. The Yankees won three games that were blowouts, thereby giving the Yankees a lot more.
Todd Huff: Runs, but. Not the same number. Well, fewer victories. They lost the series. This is similarly to how districts are drawn or how votes are tabulated in districts. It doesn't matter how the whole state votes. What matters is how a particular district votes, and if every district got 40% of the vote, they would have zero of the representatives.
Todd Huff: I hate this talk of represent. What is it? Representative proportional representation. There we go. I don't. Like this. It's not unfair to be against that. You have to have an actual candidate. In an actual district get enough votes to actually win. That's what you need. But they say that it's cheating.
Todd Huff: They say that by cutting towns, college towns like West Lafayette and Muncie and half it's. Doing something immoral by splitting Gen Z's votes. They've referenced this being racial at components, saying in components because.
Todd Huff: It says the regions which. Look in Indiana. I didn't know this until I went to college. I went to Butler, and I remember we were introducing ourselves, the freshman. Or maybe it was the. Full team, and they would say,
Todd Huff: Your name and where you're from, what position you play, something like that. And there were a bunch of guys that were saying I'm so and so from the region. I had no idea. I'm from central Indiana. I had no idea. Small flyover country here. Small. Town, USA. I had no idea what the region was, but it referenced a part of northwest Indiana. That's kind of the.
Todd Huff: Chicago suburbs and then extending even a little bit further. Than that. They refer to it as the region. I didn't know this, but this says here that. Apparently. I guess the region is entitled its own representative, one representative, because it says on this sheet, put together by mad voters.
Todd Huff: That by splitting that area up. You're targeting. Black voters who make up a significant portion of that district, which is the region. There's not a district called the region. There are congressional districts that have numbers 123-45-6789 that's what they are in Indiana. This is preposterous.
Todd Huff: This is sophistry. I'm looking for a reason. Look, I understand if you. Say, look, we don't want to change this midstream. We don't want this to be politically motivated. Okay, let's say that that's. Your position, but. Okay, you can have that. But these other things are crazy if you ask. Me.
Todd Huff: Crazy. They don't like that Indianapolis has been split again. Why is it an apples entitled? Not to be split. If you look at the problems we have in Indiana, and you look at. The people who are running the city of Indianapolis. I'll tell you what, the people in Indianapolis have created havoc for the people who live outside Indianapolis who would like to go see the city at some point.
Todd Huff: They're more of the problem, those elected officials in Indianapolis. Then the solution. Anyway, I got to go, my friends. Out of time here. SDG.
Todd Huff: Someone tell me how this is cheating, how it's rigging elections. If someone can give me an answer, a real answer, I’ll listen. Not feelings. Not vague claims. Tell me the mechanism. Tell me how drawing district lines—legal lines—rigs anything. You can’t. Because it doesn’t. It simply assigns voters to a district.
Todd Huff: Now, if Republicans had drawn these maps in some absurd salamander shape, yes, you could call it gerrymandering. But they didn’t. These are compact, contiguous districts. The biggest “crime” is that Democrats don’t like the political outcome. That’s it. That is the argument. And I’m sorry, but that’s not an argument. That’s whining.
Todd Huff: And again, if you want proportional representation—if you think Democrats must get 40% of the seats because they get 40% of the vote—then you don’t want the United States system. That is not how the founders designed this. That is not representative government. That is parliamentary-style party representation. We don’t do that here. Not in the U.S. House.
Todd Huff: This is voting by district. It’s district-by-district. It’s winner-take-all. Just like the example I gave you from the World Series. You don’t get the trophy because you scored more runs. You get the trophy because you won more games. Period. That’s how the system works. It’s not cheating. It’s not immoral. It’s not voter suppression.
Todd Huff: Now, let me say something else—and this is important. Half of the people screaming about “rigged maps” voted for a party that literally wants no voter ID, no signature verification, mass mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting, counting illegal aliens in the census, and automatic registration whether you want to be registered or not.
Todd Huff: And they want me to believe Republicans drawing a map is the real threat? Please. Please. I wasn’t born yesterday. You weren’t either. The real threat to election integrity is the left’s agenda. The real threat is open borders. The real threat is loosening every safeguard our founders put in place to protect the legitimacy of elections.
Todd Huff: And Republicans in Indiana using perfectly legal redistricting laws? That doesn’t even rank on the list. That’s Politics 101. That’s using the rules of the system—rules the other side uses every chance they get—so that the House doesn’t flip to radicals who will weaponize every committee, every agency, every subpoena to destroy Trump and stop the America First agenda.
Todd Huff: You can disagree with me about redistricting. That's fine. Say it’s a bad look. Say it’s unnecessary. Say you personally wouldn’t do it. All fair. But calling it “cheating”? “Rigging”? “Disenfranchising voters”? No. That is dishonest. That is emotionalism. And emotionalism is not an argument.
Todd Huff: Now, I know some folks sent me comments saying “How can Indianapolis be split four ways?” Well, very easily. It has a large population. Urban centers get split all the time. Chicago gets split. LA gets split. Houston gets split. New York gets split. Nothing in the Constitution says a city must be its own district.
Todd Huff: Sometimes splitting a city actually increases representation, because different parts of the city get different voices in Congress. That’s a feature, not a bug. But again, Democrats see everything through the lens of political power. If a split doesn’t help them, it’s “suppression.” If a split helps them, it’s “fair representation.” I'm tired of the double standard. And you should be too.
Todd Huff: Let me wrap this portion up before we move on. When you hear the word “rigging,” remember this: rigging requires tampering. Rigging requires fraud. Rigging requires unlawful behavior. Rigging requires altering outcomes behind the scenes. Redistricting—done in public hearings, in full view of the legislature—is the opposite of rigging.
Todd Huff: It is literally the constitutional process for drawing congressional boundaries. It is transparent. It is legal. It is public. It is debated. It is voted on. Nothing about it is hidden. Nothing about it is fraudulent. Nothing about it is tampering. And again, Republicans didn’t do anything Democrats don’t already do in states they control.
Todd Huff: So I repeat the question: how is it cheating? How is it election rigging? Don’t give me buzzwords. Don’t give me feelings. Give me a process. Show me the mechanism. No one has yet. And trust me, they won’t. Because it doesn’t exist.
Todd Huff: Now, let me get back to some of what this “mad voters” sheet says. It claims that the map “targets Black voters.” Really? Where? Show me. Show me the map. Show me the district lines that allegedly “target” anyone. These districts are compact. They follow county lines. They are not drawn in crazy zigzags. They are not designed to isolate demographics. Not in the slightest.
Todd Huff: But again, this is the narrative: if something doesn’t benefit Democrats, it must be racist. If something gives Republicans any advantage at all, it must be immoral. If something is legal but not politically advantageous to them, it must be “anti-democracy.” It’s exhausting. It’s manipulative. And honestly? It’s insulting.
Todd Huff: Black voters are not political pawns. They are individuals. They are citizens. They are not owned by the Democrat Party. And acting like any district that doesn’t guarantee Democrats a win “suppresses” Black votes is both condescending and untrue. Winning elections is not owed to anyone. You have to persuade voters. You have to earn support. Period.
Todd Huff: Now, another part of the sheet says the map “splits Gen Z.” What does that even mean? How do you “split” a generation? Gen Z is not a geographic community. Gen Z is an age group. They live everywhere. They go to school everywhere. They work everywhere. That is one of the dumbest arguments on this entire list.
Todd Huff: And then—this one really made me laugh—they say redistricting “dilutes college votes.” Friends, the Constitution does not say students must get their own district. It does not guarantee political outcomes for any demographic. It does not require grouping voters by ideological preference.
Todd Huff: And again—I know I’m a broken record here—but these same people cheering for counting illegal aliens in the census want to lecture me about “dilution.” Illegal aliens created more vote dilution than redistricting ever could, and they know it. They just don’t care because counting them benefits Democrats.
Todd Huff: Remember, apportionment is based on population—not citizenship. So when California or New York gets an extra seat because of millions of people who aren’t allowed to vote, guess whose vote gets diluted? Yours. Mine. Every lawful voter’s. That is real dilution. That is real misrepresentation.
Todd Huff: Yet they stayed silent. They applauded. They defended it. They said it was “inclusive.” And now those same folks want me to panic because Indiana adjusted districts legally within the same decade? Sorry. Not happening.
Todd Huff: Let me address another part of the argument: “This is unprecedented.” No, it isn’t. Several states have redrawn maps mid-decade for all sorts of reasons—legal rulings, population shifts, court orders, political realities. Redistricting is not frozen in time. Maps can change. They do change. They have changed many times before.
Todd Huff: What is unprecedented is the level of political weaponization we are seeing from the left right now. What is unprecedented is the open border. What is unprecedented is the lawfare against Trump. What is unprecedented is the censorship, the manipulation, the coordination between government and Big Tech.
Todd Huff: And if Republicans sit on their hands and say, “Well, we want to be polite,” then we lose the country. Not just an election. The country. The left plays for keeps. They use every tool. They do not apologize. They do not hesitate. Meanwhile, Republicans often worry about tone. Tone doesn’t win political battles. Using the law properly and strategically does.
Todd Huff: And that’s what this redistricting is: a legal, strategic move to protect the House majority. To prevent a Democrat takeover. To stop endless impeachment attempts. To stop committees from being turned into political weapons. To stop open-door policies for illegal immigration. To stop further erosion of constitutional governance.
Todd Huff: If you care about stopping the radical left from continuing its destruction, then redistricting—again, done legally—is part of the toolbox. You don’t win a political war by surrendering the high ground. You don’t win a war by saying, “We don’t want to use the tools available to us.” That’s how you lose.
Todd Huff: And one more thing, because I want this on record: nothing about these maps prevents a Democrat from voting. Nothing. Not one person is disenfranchised. Not one vote is suppressed. Not one ballot is blocked. The same polling places exist. The same registration laws exist. The same processes exist. The same number of representatives exists. The only thing that changes is which voters fall into which district.
Todd Huff: That is not suppression. That is not cheating. That is not rigging. That is how the system works. Always has. Always will—unless Democrats get their way and abolish the Electoral College, pack the courts, federalize elections, and turn America into a parliamentary-style system where parties choose power, not voters.
Todd Huff: And make no mistake—that is their goal. They want proportional representation. They want national popular vote. They want to eliminate the Electoral College. They want D.C. and Puerto Rico statehood. They want ballot harvesting nationwide. They want universal mail-in ballots with no verification. They want an entirely new system where Democrats are mathematically guaranteed permanent power.
Todd Huff: That’s why they scream about maps. That’s why they scream about “protecting democracy.” They don’t want democracy. They want control. They want power. They want a system that ensures their ideology cannot be voted out. And anything that prevents that—even something as normal and constitutional as redistricting—they label as evil.
Todd Huff: So again, when someone says, “This is cheating,” ask them how. Ask them what law was broken. Ask them who was prevented from voting. Ask them how the outcome was predetermined. They won’t answer. They can’t answer. Because none of that occurred. It is pure political spin designed to scare people who don’t follow the process closely.
Todd Huff: Now, I mentioned earlier someone said online that they were “embarrassed” by the map. I asked her—twice—why. Silence. Complete silence. Because she didn’t know why. She just heard someone else say it. That is the problem with so much of today’s discourse. People don’t think. They feel. They react emotionally. They repeat talking points.
Todd Huff: And look, I get it. Not everyone has time to wade through the details of redistricting law. But if you're going to call something cheating—if you’re going to accuse lawmakers of rigging an election—then you better have more than vibes. You better have facts. You better have evidence. You better have something other than “Well, I saw a tweet and it made me upset.”
Todd Huff: Let me address something else here: there’s nothing sacred about county lines. People are acting like splitting Marion County is some kind of human rights violation. It’s absurd. Counties get split constantly in redistricting. Cities get split constantly. It is normal. It is routine. It is constitutional. There is no divine commandment that says, “Thou shalt not divide Indianapolis.”
Todd Huff: And think about this: if the complaint is that Indianapolis leans Democrat, and Republicans split it… so what? That’s politics. That’s strategy. And Democrats do it too. They absolutely do. They do it aggressively. They do it shamelessly. They do it with far more dramatic district lines than anything in this Indiana map.
Todd Huff: Have you ever looked at Illinois? Have you ever looked at Maryland? Have you ever looked at New York before the courts threw out their blatant partisan gerrymander? Some of those districts look like spilled spaghetti. Lines looping around neighborhoods, reaching across counties, bending around lakes—it’s insanity. And that is done entirely to maximize Democrat seats.
Todd Huff: Compare Indiana to those states and ours looks like a coloring book for toddlers. Clean. Simple. Logical. Compact. But Democrats scream anyway because the problem isn’t the map. The problem is that the map doesn’t guarantee them what they want.
Todd Huff: Let me go back to something else they keep pushing: this idea that certain areas are “entitled” to their own representative. No. Absolutely not. No one is entitled to representation based on identity group, racial makeup, age group, voting pattern, or political affiliation. Representation is geographic. Districts represent land and the people who live on that land—not ideological categories.
Todd Huff: So when they say, “The region deserves its own representative,” that is nonsense. There is no district called “the region.” There is no law saying northwest Indiana can’t be divided. And the people who live there still get a vote. Their ballots still count. They are not being deprived of anything.
Todd Huff: Now, let me anticipate a question: “Todd, are you justifying anything Republicans do?” No. Absolutely not. If Republicans drew insane gerrymandered squiggles around the map like Democrats do in Illinois, I’d call it out. I’d oppose it. But that’s not what happened. These are normal districts drawn using normal criteria.
Todd Huff: And the reason the left is panicking is not because of morality. It’s not because they’re guardians of democracy. It’s because they know they’re playing a weak hand going into the midterms and they want to preemptively delegitimize the outcome. This is the same playbook they used in 2016: scream “rigged” before the election so when they lose, they can say, “See! We told you!”
Todd Huff: They don’t want fair elections. They want guaranteed elections. They want predetermined outcomes. And the moment anything happens that could possibly give Republicans an advantage—even a legal advantage—they melt down. Because in their worldview, any Republican win is illegitimate by definition.
Todd Huff: And that brings me to something else important: if we lose the House—if Democrats take control—Trump’s agenda stops overnight. Not slows down. Not gets complicated. Stops. Full stop. They will launch investigations. They will launch impeachment. They will block budgets. They will weaponize committees. They will bury subpoenas in nonsense. They will send every agency after Trump and his administration.
Todd Huff: Republicans cannot afford to pretend this is a normal political moment. It isn’t. This is existential. This is about whether the radical left can keep using government power as a weapon. And if you don’t like redistricting, okay—that’s your opinion. But you cannot pretend it is the same thing as the lawfare, corruption, manipulation, and weaponization happening on the left.
Todd Huff: It isn’t even in the same galaxy. One is a legal, constitutional process that happens in the open. The other is the use of courts, prosecutors, intelligence agencies, and bureaucrats to target political opponents. Those two things are not remotely comparable.
Todd Huff: So when someone says, “Todd, redistricting is unfair,” I’ll listen. When someone says, “Todd, I don’t like the optics,” okay, fair enough. When someone says, “Todd, I think this will hurt Republicans in the long run,” let’s talk about that. All fair arguments. But when someone says it’s cheating? No. I’m not going to let that slide. Words mean things. And cheating is not what is happening here.
Todd Huff: Cheating is what we’ve seen in other contexts—ballot harvesting, lack of ID, counting illegal aliens in the census, manipulating rules mid-election, endless lawfare designed to drain resources, weaponizing the IRS, the FBI, the DOJ. That is cheating. That is rigging. Drawing maps within a legal timeframe established by the legislature? That's governance.
Todd Huff: And again, I’m going to say this because it’s crucial: not a single person is prevented from voting under this new map. Not one. So what exactly is the “attack on democracy”? What exactly is the “disenfranchisement”? If your preferred candidate can’t win the district, that’s not suppression. That’s politics. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose.
Todd Huff: If Democrats want to win these newly drawn districts, they can. They simply have to persuade voters. They have to explain their ideas. They have to make a case. They have to convince Hoosiers that their worldview is better for Indiana and America. But they can’t do that. And they know it. So they rely on emotional arguments about “cheating.”
Todd Huff: And let me tell you—if the roles were reversed, Democrats would redraw these maps without blinking. They would call it “a necessary correction.” They would say it’s “protecting democracy.” They would say it’s “ensuring representation.” They would wrap it in flowery language and then high-five each other behind the scenes because it gave them more power.
Todd Huff: That’s the difference between the two parties right now: Democrats use power ruthlessly. Republicans apologize for using power at all. And the sad reality is that if Republicans don’t stop apologizing, we’ll lose this country. We will lose the Constitution. We will lose the balance of powers. We will lose the very structure our founders put in place to protect individual liberty.
Todd Huff: And that’s not drama. That’s reality. That’s where we are. You can see it. You can feel it. Every time another agency is weaponized. Every time another court case appears out of thin air. Every time another executive order undermines sovereignty. Every time the border gets worse. Every time we see censorship, collusion, suppression of speech.
Todd Huff: We’re in a fight. And when you’re in a fight, you use every legal tool available to defend what you care about. Redistricting is one of those tools. Not the only one. Not the most important one. But one of them. And Republicans in Indiana are using it the right way—strategically, legally, transparently.
Todd Huff: If someone disagrees, fine. If they have a different political calculation, fine. But no one gets to rewrite definitions or weaponize language just because they don’t like the outcome. That’s childish. That’s manipulative. And that’s dishonest.
Todd Huff: So as this process moves forward, I encourage you—stay informed. Don’t fall for emotional buzzwords. Look at the maps yourself. Look at how other states draw their maps. Don’t be intimidated by people screaming “cheating” with nothing to back it up.
Todd Huff: And remember: if Republicans lose the House, everything stops. Everything. And the people screaming about this map? They know that. They know how high the stakes are. They just hope you don’t.
Todd Huff: With that, my friends, I am out of time. But as always, I appreciate you listening. I appreciate you thinking. I appreciate you engaging with the issues rather than reacting emotionally to headlines. This stuff matters. It matters deeply. And together—armed with truth, clarity, and conviction—we can push back against the madness.
Todd Huff: Have a great day, my friends. SDG.
