The maps’ partisan breakdowns are 62-37 GOP-to-Democratic in the Ohio House and 23-10 in the Senate
The commission briefly weighed a pair of legislative maps proposed Tuesday by House Minority Leader Allison Russo and Senate Minority Leader Nickie Antonio. Republican members declined to include the proposal as an alternative working draft.
She added that holding the third hearing in Columbus is a missed opportunity for other regions of the state. But Secretary Frank LaRose who previously urged the commission to complete its work by Sept. 22, warned against taking more time. Constitutional requirements direct mapmakers to aim for a partisan index that reflects voters’ recent preferences at the ballot box. During the previous redistricting process, that broke down to a 54-46 split in favor of Republicans.According to McColley, the Senate proposal includes 23 seats where Republicans hold an advantage, and 10 where Democrats have an edge. For the House, Republicans have a majority in 62 seats to Democrat’s 37.
“My understanding of the constitutional provision is that you look at the last 10 years of elections,” Faber said. “And that means the proportionality has changed substantially in the last few years — over the prior two years. And so I think we need to keep that in mind when we look at proportionality requirements.”
