Oct. 20 (UPI) -- Indiana Gov. Mike Braun called a special session Monday to consider redistricting the state's congressional seats.
"I am calling a special legislative session to protect Hoosiers from efforts in other states that seek to diminish their voice in Washington and ensure their representation in Congress is fair," Braun said in a statement.
Redistricting efforts have taken place since President Donald Trump asked Republican states to do so, hoping to give extra Republican-safe districts to Congress ahead of the midterm elections in 2026.
Texas added five seats after a prolonged battle. California is voting on whether to add five more Democratic seats in November, and Missouri added one seat in St. Louis. North Carolina also added a seat.
