INDIANAPOLIS - Republicans voted down a Democratic overhaul of Indiana's congressional redistricting before endorsing new election district maps that will be used for the next decade.

The Indiana Senate elections committee voted 7-2 along party lines Tuesday in favor of the Republican-drawn maps for the state's nine congressional districts and 150 state legislative seats based on 2020 census. Democrats have objected to changes made in central Indiana's 5th Congressional District.

The Senate and House are expected to vote Friday on approving the redistricting plan.
