I believe the 3 GOP senators who've reasserted their opposition since latest push started over last week: Senators Leising, Greg Walker, Bohacek. Maybe Sen. Becker counts.
Meanwhile, Senator Jim Tomes, who voted to adjourn the session in November, now is a 'yes.'

The thing that's tricky about the Indiana whip count is that GOP leaders are hoping that some of the senators who signaled 'no' mid-November can be flipped — so it seems helpful to identify those senators who are reasserting no just over the last week.

I don’t know how much y’all have been following the Indiana gerrymandering battle, but it has everything.
Republicans standing up for election integrity (?!?). Trump threats. Swatting. The Gov calling a 9-0 election map “fair”, and a senator who was affected by a Trump slur.
Off we go (1/7)

"Urban elites in Tulsa" is a great microcosm of the contradictions in US politics
The Oklahoma senator who sponsored a new law to curtail citizen initiatives said he wants to “give more Oklahomans, not just the urban elites in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, a say in what questions qualify for the ballot.”
Republicans Add New Barriers to Oklahoma’s Dizzyingly Fast Process for Citizen Initiatives
A new law adds to a string of GOP-run states that have undercut direct democracy by piling on onerous new regulations and raising the threshold for signatures.

Whether Texas can use the new map the GOP drew, which is expected to flip something like five seats to Republicans, or if it has to stick with the 2021 map. It’d be a surprise for SCOTUS to require the latter, but certainly worth seeing how it plays out. bsky.app/profile/sous...

This is as many cases as we typically handle going into the final months of the election. 2026 will almost certain be a record breaking year.
