INDIANAPOLIS — The high-drama battle over congressional redistricting reached new heights Tuesday, as the Indiana Senate rejected a new GOP-proposed map and instead suggested redrawing districts using a giant game of Twister.

“Frankly, red and blue lines are so outdated,” said Senate Cartography Chair Melinda Finks, removing her shoes and unfurling a plastic mat in the chamber. “It’s time constituents literally fight for their representation—on the floor—just like democracy intended.”

The rejected map, which would have given Republicans control of districts shaped suspiciously like former President Trump’s signature, was dismissed by lawmakers who felt it didn’t go far enough. “I want a map where my district includes my house, the Dairy Queen on Route 9, and somehow half of Gary, Indiana. That’s representational fairness,” said State Senator Jim Pernsley as he tried to reach left foot yellow.

Trump’s legal team, led by attorney Rudy Gilead, expressed disappointment: “We had a beautiful map—some say the best ever drawn—full of strong lines, very presidential. But the deep-state mapmakers have infiltrated the compass.”

Meanwhile, Democrats in the legislature issued a counter-proposal: randomly assigning voters by spinning a wheel or possibly a game of pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey. “If it keeps things unpredictable for the next decade, we’re in,” said minority leader Sheila Blomstrum, adjusting her blindfold.

The cartographical standoff is expected to delay representation for thousands, but analysts agree it’s a small price to pay for the kind of high-stakes, physical democracy Indiana is pioneering.
