Just an Ohioan with an interest in politics and a strong distaste for gerrymandering

LONG 🧵 AHEAD: Amidst a wider (mostly elective) national push for mid-decade congressional redistricting, Ohio recently enacted a new, constitutionally mandated congressional map. Let's take a deep dive into what changed from the map approved in 2022 to create the new map.

The next time someone opposed to Issue 1 tells you that the current redistricting commission is required to preserve communities of interest, remember that the Senate district on the left would be permitted under current law while the one on the right would not be permitted.

GOP state lawmaker Bill Seitz said many believe Issue 1 will pass. "Seitz, who is known in Ohio politics to speak plainly, said one big reason for that is pretty simple: 'Gerrymandering is about as popular as STDs.'"
Low information voters in a high turnout election could sink or swim Ohio’s Issue 1 redistricting...

Hmm... a bunch of politicians are raising money to oppose Citizens Not Politicians. It's that simple, folks. Self-serving politicians want to be able to continue to stack the deck against the citizens Ohio. Don't let them. #VoteYesOnIssue1

This morning, Secretary of State LaRose certified official results for Ohio's 2024 Presidential Election. As the nation shifted about 6% to the right compared to 2020, Ohio only shifted 3.2% as Trump expanded his margin from 8% to 11.2% Mapped out by municipality & by precinct:

13-2 is certainly possible, but this map isn't a possible way to do it. The city of Cincinnati is split between CD1 and CD8, which is strictly prohibited by the state constitution.

A anonymous source close to the Ohio State Legislature told us, that the Ohio redraw is leaning towards a 13-2 map. Below would be a hypothetical way this could be accomplished. Either way a 13-2 would draw out - Landsman (OH-01) - Kaptur (OH-09) - Skyes (OH-13)

Amidst a lot of nationwide talk of mid-decade redistricting, I have heard very little national talk of the one (as of now) state that is legally REQUIRED to redraw its congressional map: Ohio. Why does Ohio have to redraw and what might it look like? Let's take a look (🧵):

Looks like the line at the Franklin County Board of Elections is currently longer than any reports I've seen to date. The line is zigzagging on itself behind the Board of Elections office and likely has well over 500 people in it based on the pictures Colleen shared.

In March, Ohio Secretary of State LaRose announced that 352,389 voter registrations would be canceled unless voters update or confirm their registration by September. That's 4.29% of the state's registered voters. That 4.29% isn't evenly spread out, so here it is mapped out:

Harris, Obama, & Pelosi aren't OH citizens & would, therefore, be forbidden from sitting on the commission created by this constitutional amendment. Even if they were OH citizens, they would be barred on account of having (currently and/or previously) held disqualifying offices.

Replying to @FrankLaRose
They just put a radical constitutional amendment on the November ballot that will allow Kamala Harris, Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi to gerrymander Ohio’s political districts to favor Democratic candidates. Are we paying attention? FIGHT! ✊
