Chaneys Project Aims to Reshape Indiana Districts
A plan proposed in the Indiana legislature would reapportion the Second through Sixth congressional districts. It would move Owen from the Second to the Fifth and add Orange to the Second, Jefferson to the Third, Franklin to the Fourth, and Owen to the Fifth, shifting voting totals and Republican strength. The scheme could affect Chaney’s reelection prospects and faces Democratic opposition led by Senator Cyrus E. Davis.
