The Indiana Senate’s elections committee just voted to advance the GOP gerrymander.
The matter was genuinely uncertain… but the three Republicans who were uncertain as of this afternoon all voted ‘yes,’ pushing it thru 6-3. Moment of truth on Thursday but a first win for Trump and Mike Johnson.

SCOTUS conservatives just blessed the Texas GOP's gerrymander. It'll be used next year.
They stay the lower-court ruling, written by a Trump-appointed judge, that found the gerrymander to be illegal.
While no clear vote, Alito wrote a concurrence; and only the three liberal justices dissented.
