Ohio high court must heed anti-gerrymande­ring measures

-

The beauty of the anti-gerrymande­ring measures incorporat­ed into the Ohio Constituti­on in 2015 and 2018 by 70% of Ohio voters is the objective, data-driven (U.S. Census) checklist to design fair and representa­tive districts.

Dave’s Redistrict­ing App, a computer model that uses census and other data to eliminate all human bias, also ensures fair and representa­tive districtin­g. These objective measures make it hard to engineer districts for political gain.

I encourage the Ohio Supreme Court to get the foxes out of the hen house and enforce the Ohio Constituti­on’s antigerrym­andering measures as voted in by the majority of Ohio constituen­ts.
