Need proof that Ohio Republicans are trying to gerrymander their way into winning?
FIRST: The Ohio Supreme Court struck down the first round of maps drawn by the Republican-led redistricting commission -- maps that would have given Republicans a 62-37 advantage in the House and a 23-10 advantage in the Senate. So the Ohio Supreme Court ordered the redistricting commission to redraw the maps to be indicative of how Ohioans vote.
THEN: The redistricting commission met to redraw the maps -- but the replacement maps aren't any better. These maps give Republicans a 57-42 advantage in the House and a 20-13 advantage in the Senate.
BUT: It only gets worse under these new maps. In the newly drawn maps, 12/42 Democratic-leaning House seats and 4/13 Democratic-leaning Senate seats give Democrats advantages of 3% or less. Only one Republican-leaning Senate district has an advantage of 3%, and no Republican-leaning House districts do.
We can't make it any more clear: Ohio Republicans don't care about giving everyday Ohioans a voice; they care about winning and pushing an agenda that hurts the middle class. We can't let these new maps pass -- and we'll take it back to court if we have to.
That makes tomorrow's end-of-month fundraising deadline even more important. Will you help us close our fundraising gap with a donation of $5 or more right now? Every dollar helps us fight for fair maps in Ohio.
