Ohio Republicans cut redistricting deal with Dems​

News: Republicans on Ohio’s redistricting commission struck a deal with Democrats on a compromise congressional map after hours of late-night deliberations.

News: Republicans on Ohio’s redistricting commission struck a deal with Democrats on a compromise congressional map after hours of late-night deliberations.

“…
The current Ohio delegation split is 10 Republicans to five Democrats. The remaining two Democrats, Reps. Joyce Beatty in Columbus and Shontel Brown in Cleveland, remain in deep blue districts.

And Democrats retain an outside chance of contesting seats held by GOP Reps. Max Miller, Mike Carey and Mike Turner.

This compromise is a shocking development.

Ohio’s constitution mandates a complicated redistricting process that includes the commission and the state legislature. The Buckeye State is required to redraw its map for 2026 because it passed in 2021 without bipartisan support.

Both parties expected the commission to reach a stalemate and that redistricting would revert back the state’s GOP-controlled legislature.

But Democrats were able to successfully leverage the prospect of a referendum campaign. For their part, Republicans dangled the threat of pushing through a less favorable map if Democrats rejected their offer.…”

“… Republicans on the Ohio Redistricting Commission showed Democrats a map that would doom Kaptur, Sykes and Landsman, according to a source close to the process, and they said the state legislature would introduce that 13R-2D map on Nov. 1 if no deal was reached by the commission.

The calculus. This map is a safe bet for Democrats. Two seats get worse, but one gets slightly better. Why would they hesitate to take it?

The redistricting commission map is final. A legislature-enacted map could be frozen for 2026 and put before the voters in a referendum if Democrats can collect some 250,000 signatures in 90 days.…”

“… The compromise map — crafted by a bipartisan commission — won support from Democrats by granting them a reprieve in one additional House seat that had been under consideration. Because the map received bipartisan support from the commission, it does not need the approval of the Republican-dominated legislature.…”
