The Ohio GOP has yet to share a congressional map with the public as the 2nd deadline approaches. Why? They say they want to hear from citizens first. But Dems say they are purposely going slow to skirt guidelines.
The state constitution dictates the next deadline to adopt a congressional district map is Oct31, but there’s been “no public movement” to reconvene the Ohio Redistricting Cmsn.
“Legislative Democrats proposed a map in Sept, with 8 Repub-leaning districts & 7 Dem-leaning districts,” to start discussions & “spur more urgency in the process.”
“The current map is made up of 10 Repub districts and 3 Dem districts.”
Ohio is nearly halfway to the next constitutional deadline for congressional redistricting, and so far no public movement to reconvene the Ohio Redistricting Commission has been made.

So much for believing the government closest to the people governs best.
Republican-led states are ramping up efforts to make citizen-led ballot initiatives harder to pass, with Missouri lawmakers approving a bill to raise the threshold for amending the state constitution—pending voter approval. This trend has accelerated, with at least seven states advancing similar legislation and 148 bills introduced in 15 states this year to weaken direct democracy, according to the Fairness Project. The push comes after progressive wins on abortion rights through ballot measures, which succeeded in 7 out of 10 states since 2022. Will new hurdles stop future reforms?
