Montana Republicans moved forward a bill to kill a redistricting plan that creates seven Indian-majority voting districts.

The plan was drawn up by a state commission that is chaired by a member of the Crow Tribe who is also a Democrat. It creates three senate and three house districts that have a majority Indian population.

The Montana Legislature has a record seven Indian lawmakers.
