Earth versus the population? Ohio GOP and DEMS argue what is important when drawing congress maps

Republicans from Ohio want the physical location to be considered during the redistribution process of the Congress, but democrats say that people, not Earth, vote.

Analysis of 10 years of election results – president, governor, senate and any other guerrilla race in the whole condition. On average, Republicans win 55–45% in relation to democrats.

With this breakdown, the Democrats proposed Reredod a map with eight places tilted with red, seven blue.

But now 15 Ohio congress circles consist of 10 Republicans and five Democrats.

Catherine Turcer with a common cause of Ohio, a non -profit organization, which is in favor of candid maps, said it was a problem.

“It is very difficult to have a government responsibility if the district lines are so favorable to political parties on the right or so hard on the left,” said Turcer.

It is worried because the Republicans have not yet introduced the map, but the joint Congress Redistriction Committee to pass a double -sided map, is September 30.

“This is one of those situations in which the image is worth 1000 words and that they did not really start this process in good faith, it is extremely sad,” she said.

The leaders of the GOP party said that they want a republican to bend at least 12 out of 15 districts.

“Four democratic counties in Ohio, three divided poviats and 79 Republican Counties,” said the representative of the state Nick Santucci (R-Niles) during the meeting of the Committee on Monday, noticing the map of the Committee of the Ferries 2025. “What will we say to other Ferrings that are solidly red?

Santucci and Leader GOP Tony Schroeder argued that Democrats constitute almost half of the voice base, but are primarily in several urban areas: Cleveland, Akron, Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo, Dayton and Athens, based on the AC/OCS analysis. Schroeder said that these areas have different priorities and demographic data from red circles.

“It would create situations in which people on the rural Ohio will rule people directly in urban centers,” he said.

He added that there is a solution for democrats.

“They can move,” according to Schroeder.

Democrats quickly rejected this proposal.

“So you want people to get out of Franklin’s unit, in the city of Columbus, to rural poviats, to make everything fair to the map?” Senator of State Bill Demora said on Monday. “I mean it is total ridicule.”

Turcer threw the argument back to GOP, saying that only because the Republicans are more spread, it does not mean that they would replace democratic voices.

“Earth is not voting,” she said.

Democrats say that urban and urban areas, in which 45% of voters from Ohio live, should not be ruled by rural areas.

Asked if the map 12-3 or 13-2 reflects the voters’ population, Turcer said “of course not”.

Republican leaders claim that they will not have a map before the constitutional date, which means that the GOP controlled by the Redistriction Commission Ohio will take over this process in October.

Deadlines and process

September 30: legislators must transfer a map with at least 60% in each chamber and at least 50% of the support of Democrats.

If this fails, he goes to ORC.

October 31: To meet this date, it must approve at least four ORC members, including two Republicans and two democrats.

If this fails, he returns to the legislator.

November 30: The map can also go through a basic majority in the general assembly, but it should be replaced after four years.

Republicans have not yet introduced their own map, but the party leaders claim that they want at least 12 districts to bend red.
