Abstract:
The following report done by the group For The Rest of Us, is an analysis of Ohio's current political boundaries. The report finds that moderates and women are under-represented in Ohio's current political districts, the party favored by district composition won 91% of the time, and the party that controlled the redistricting process historically has gained an average of 8 seats in the Ohio house and 2 in the Ohio Senate over the past 4 decades, even when that party was fairing poorly in national elections.
