Ohio Redistricting Commission Meeting
The Ohio Redistricting Commission is set to meet on Tuesday, with a key focus on redrawing the congressional map.
Ohio Democrats have proposed a map that would result in an 8R-7D split, but Republicans have dismissed it as "gerrymandered".
- The commission consists of Republican executive officeholders, including Governor DeWine, Secretary of State Frank LaRose, and Auditor Keith Faber.
- Legislative members include Rep. Brian Stewart (R-Ashville), House Minority Leader Dani Isaacsohn (D-Cincinnati), and Senate Minority Leader Nickie Antonio (D-Lakewood).
The proposed map by Democrats would result in an 8R-7D split, which was dismissed by Republicans as "gerrymandered".
A key question is whether the commission will consider a map that can be accepted by the two Democrats on the panel, a requirement for this stage of the process.
