Check out our new explainer of Ohio's proposed redistricting reform

A new proposal is making its way toward next year's ballot in Ohio that would dramatically reform the way the state draws its maps. The amendment would end decades of GOP gerrymandering by placing redistricting in the hands of an independent commission tasked with drawing districts fair to both sides.

DeWine state recently that he doesn’t think politicians should be on map drawing committees? And GUESS WHO was on the last committee?? If that’s how he felt, he could have recused himself! Bot NOoooo….

For an Independent Commission twice. DeWine appointed himself and his cronies to the Commission. Then use a map that had been refused 5 times by the Ohio Supreme Court.

The only way we will get rid of the corruption is to vote them out. Permanently!.

They do not represent their constituents, they only represent their own self interests!

But at least they voted against LaRose’s latest scheme to stop people getting signatures to put on the ballot. Even the die hard rurals voted against that insane idea.
