I think we know who to thank for the failure of Trump's effort to bully Indiana Republicans into passing a new gerrymander: Aftyn Behn, Eric Gisler, and every Democrat who's run in a special election this year.

The GOP saw all these overperformances, and they were right to be scared.

Indiana state Sen. Mike Gaskill has been going on for a while in support of the new Republican gerrymander and even warned about a second civil war over unfair elections.

My dude, whose side has been trying to swat senators and threaten them with pipe bombs for opposing the new gerrymander?
At least 11 Indiana Republicans were targeted with threats or swatting attacks amid redistricting pressure from Trump
The threats came after Trump publicly called on state lawmakers to pass new congressional maps that would benefit Republicans.

The Indiana GOP's new congressional gerrymander failed by a vote of 31-19.

21 Republicans joined the 10 Democrats in voting no.
BREAKING: Indiana Republicans FAILED to pass a new 9-0 congressional gerrymander after enough GOP senators sided with Dems. The GOP's 7-2 map stays in place.

Trump is trying to re-gerrymander maps nationwide. At least 11 Indiana Rs got death threats after he called for primaries—but it still failed

Democrats responding with their own new map in California after Republicans re-gerrymandered several states—and threatening to redraw several more blue states—might finally be having a deterrent effect.

Responding in kind is the only way to negate these new GOP maps until we can pass a national ban
