The regional public affairs TV show, WNIT Politically Speaking, uses Facebook to ask for viewer questions they can use on the show. I suggested this question for the four elected officials who will be interviewed this week:

• In states such as Indiana or our neighbor, Illinois, by law one party or the other dominates the drawing of voting districts, which creates substantial opportunities for gerrymandering. And as we know, gerrymandered districts are intentionally drawn by those in power to reduce the influence of some people's votes and strengthen the influence of others. In recent memory, both parties in Indiana have found this temptation too sweet to resist. In some states, however, voting districts are drawn by a non-partisan commission. Do any of today's panelists wish to defend Indiana's seemingly corrupt partisan practice? Or instead would they work for the necessary changes to Indiana law to put it behind us?
