Ohio Citizens Redistricting Commission

Ohio Citizens #Redistricting Commission is a nonpartisan, multiracial commission. We're making sure #Ohio’s official map-drawing process includes public input.

This afternoon, in a major victory for voters, our state's Supreme Court ruled to invalidate Ohio's gerrymandered legislative maps.

Here is our statement on the decision from @JenieceBrock:

"It shows that advocacy works and there’s power in the people." - @JenieceBrock

We CAN join together across differences to create #fairmaps. Thanks to our commissioners for their hard work!

This is an important op-ed on gerrymandering from one of our commissioners, Sam Gresham of @CommonCauseOhio.

As a long-time Black community leader in Ohio, he knows what it's like to have your political power diluted and weakened because of unconstitutional maps. #PassFairMaps

Plaintiff: Just like Jim Crow, commission 'robbing' Black Ohioans of 'political power' https://t.co/fM6kYZpCye

🗣️ STATEMENT: OCRC denounces Ohio Redistricting Commission’s inaction on passing fair legislative maps

Still out here advocating for #fairmaps. Remember when we drew unity maps that followed the constitution (54% R; 46% D) & kept communities together? 🤔 https://t.co/H9hftbz9Rz

On Tuesday, advocates who sued over the first, now-rejected maps pointed out problems with the new versions, which could give the GOP a 57-42 advantage in the Ohio House and a 20-13 advantage in the Ohio Senate.

The National Redistricting Action Fund, @acluohio and @OHorganizing are asking the Ohio Supreme Court to once again strike down the latest proposals after they say it favors Republicans and not the voters

The plaintiffs in the original supreme court case against the state legislative maps filed their objections to the new set of House and Senate maps approved by the Ohio Redistricting Commission on Saturday.

[Jeniece Brock @JenieceBrock]

This is not what folks voted for, Ohioans deserve better.

To ensure representational fairness, the @OHRedistrict legislative maps reflect Ohio’s 54% & 46% partisan make-up.

The people of Ohio voted for fair maps & that is what they deserve.

[Susan Tebben @susantebben]

BREAKING: With a vote of 5-2, the GOP maps are adopted by a simple majority, making them effective for four years.
Objections will be allowed for the next three days.

This is what fair representation at the statehouse would look like.

STARTING SHORTLY: You can watch the official redistricting commission's live hearing on the redraw of the legislative maps at https://t.co/ewsrfZH8Fe

[David DeWitt @DC_DeWitt]

Commentary: Some politicians would have us believe it’s impossible to draw maps that achieve all criteria and do not unduly favor one party. This is wrong. It's not impossible. And it's a flashing red alert of acting in bad faith if they claim it is.

[Ohio Citizens Redistricting Commission @OHRedistrict]

The official redistricting commission has a mandate to create maps that are more fair.

We would refer the commission to consider our unity maps, which reflect the statewide vote share and follow the parameters laid out by the constitution.

On Friday morning, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled that Ohio’s new congressional map violated the partisan-fairness requirement in the state constitution.

Good thing @OHRedistrict has constitutional Statehouse maps -- drawn using thousands of testimonies from a diverse range of Ohioans -- ready to go!

The Equal Districts Coalition has endorsed these maps ✅

"Ohio is setting a standard for the rest of the country in fighting against extreme gerrymandering and the partisan gridlock that has paralyzed our political process."
