The maps show a Republican advantage of 61-38 in the Ohio House and a 23-10 advantage in the Ohio Senate.
, the maps show a 23 to 10 Republican advantage, with three Republican toss-up seats and one Democratic toss-up seat.
“To me, it’s not a vote because I think that these maps are fair, or that this process worked the way that it was supposed to,” Russo said. “My vote is simply to take this process out of the hands of this commission.”Senate Minority Leader and commission co-chair Nickie Antonio supported the idea that the redistricting process “does not belong in our hands,” but praised the members of the public whose influence was not lost on her.
The Ohio advocate coalitions Equal Districts and Fair Districts issued a joint statement Tuesday night criticizing the maps, calling the agreement, “the latest political power-grab by both the Republican and Democratic members of the commission.” Public testimony on Tuesday touched on certain parts of the maps proposed last week as part of a “working document,” which were accused of being partisan gerrymanders, but also shamed the GOP for a lack of transparency.
