The GOP-controlled state legislature plans to pass a new congressional map this week that shreds two Democratic seats, but it will only stand for the next four years
The congressional map proposal is on a less-than-four-day trek through the legislative process: First proposed in the state Senate on Monday night and passed on Tuesday, the bill is expected to receive an up-or-down vote in the state House on Thursday.
But Democrats and other critiques of the map design refute his claims. The proposed map, which must account for the one district Ohio lost in reapportionment after the 2020 census, would keep deep-blue seats in Cleveland and Columbus, but targets the other two Democratic districts for defeat. Without any Democratic support, this map will only be allowed to be used for four years as opposed to the usual 10 years because of one of the new reforms. Brown, the top Democrat on the state House committee, said he believes Republicans might have been OK with using that loophole all along.
