(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—Earlier today, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine held a press conference where he delivered remarks and took questions from media, expressing his strong opposition to the proposed ballot initiative on redistricting.
"If this amendment were to be adopted, Ohio would actually end up with a system that mandates – that compels – map drawers to produce gerrymandered districts," said Governor DeWine in his remarks. "In fact, Ohio would have gerrymandering in the extreme."
Governor DeWine's “As Prepared for Delivery” remarks, as well as sample maps he referenced in his remarks that produced gerrymandered districts in efforts to make them proportional, are available via the following links:
