Ohio Republicans are trying to gerrymander their way into winning. The proof is in their actions, take a look:
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: These new maps are even worse than they seem. 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.
We're committed to fighting for fair maps across Ohio. Maps that give all Ohioans a voice -- no matter what their zip code is. If you're with us, add your name to our petition to call on the Republicans of the Ohio Redistricting Commission to put people over politics.
