Map Update

A fast-tracked map of Ohio’s new congressional districts clears the Ohio Senate…and now heads to the House…even as voting-rights groups and Democrats continue to object to both the boundaries and the process. The Senate’s approval along party lines came less than 24 hours after GOP House Speaker Bob Cupp released an updated version…developed behind closed doors. Without ample Democratic support, the Republican-backed map will only last four years, rather than the usual 10. That’s based on a new redistricting process approved by Ohio voters in 2018
