    As an Ohioan, they will not be voted out. The state legislature has gerrymandered both houses to ensure a clear majority. This is why they throw tantrums like this. Their only worry is being primaried from the right. This is despite a constitutional amendment that was supposed to eliminate gerrymandering, but was really engineered by senate president Matt Huffman to be able to be ignored.

    Ohio’s best bet is a new anti-gerrymandering amendment likely to be before voters that will completely remove politicians from the process.

      I know this was recently cleared to start collecting signatures. Do you know where that’s being coordinated or where I might be able to find places I can sign?

      I’m proud to say I signed the issue 1 petition and voted for it. Would like to keep the momentum going and do the same with the redistricting proposal.
