Ohio Redistricting Commission faces ticking clock on congressional map deadline

Описание: Tuesday's meeting of the Ohio Redistricting Commission, which lasted less than 30 minutes, marked the start of the second phase of the state's congressional redistricting process.

Democrats on the commission, including Senate Minority Leader Nickie Antonio (D–Lakewood), testified in support of a map they introduced about eight weeks ago. Their proposal would create seven districts that lean Democratic and eight that lean Republican — a split Antonio says is fair and compliant with Ohio’s rules for redistricting.

“We had no questions from the members of the Commission, and then we adjourned,” Antonio said.
