Vice President JD Vance confirmed that he discussed redistricting with government officials during his trip to Indiana during an interview with Maria Bartiromo on FOX News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“We spoke with the governor, with the speaker of the House there in Indiana, and the Senate president, and the message I delivered is pretty straightforward,” Vance said. “We want a unified Republican team. We want to fight together, win together, make big things happen for the American people, and obviously, the people of the state of Indiana together.”

Vance indicated that because blue states such as California, Illinois and New York have “aggressively gerrymandered,” it has become hard for states such as Indiana to have their voices heard in federal elections. He then claimed that California has more seats due to undocumented immigrants.

“They get rewarded for welcoming illegal aliens into their state, giving them federal benefits, actually asking the taxpayers of states like Ohio to subsidize them. And then those same taxpayers in Ohio and Indiana and elsewhere, they have fewer congressional representatives because of what California has allowed to happen. That’s ridiculously unfair,” he said.

He’s absolutely right. Blue states are screaming as though this is something egregious being done by Republicans in Texas, however blue states have been doing this ridiculous gerrymandering for decades and red states are finally moving to undo it.
