The Ohio Redistricting Commission reached bipartisan agreement as it passed new Statehouse maps late Tuesday night after a few more hours of public comment, and then negotiation behind closed doors.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
“This map is the result of an awful lot of hours of discussion, consideration, negotiation, mediation and more discussion,” Faber said on Tuesday night. “We worked hard to find a compromise, and it’s illustrated by the amended maps that we have before us today,” Antonio said. The coalitions said the maps “shockingly garnered the support of the two lone Democratic Commission members.”
“What the people of Ohio have asked for several times at the ballot box, in the last eight years is simple and direct: end all gerrymandering to favor any political party,” Halaiko told the commission.
