Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine says he will work to defeat a fall ballot issue aimed at remaking the state’s troubled political mapmaking system.
Discover incredible Insider Deals that will make your life a little bit easierOhio Gov. Mike DeWine speaks at a press conference in Columbus, Ohio, Wednesday, July 31, 2024, where he opposed a fall ballot measure aimed at remaking the state's troubled political mapmaking system. If it passes, DeWine said he will work with state lawmakers next year to advance a competing amendment based on the Iowa model.
DeWine said Iowa's system — in which mapmakers are prohibited from consulting past election results or protecting individual lawmakers — would remove politics from the process. "This is the same tired playbook in Ohio," said John Bisognano, president of All On The Line, a national anti-gerrymandering group supported by Democrats that's involved in the campaign."Given Ohio politicians repeatedly ignored well-intended reforms in order to gerrymander themselves into power, the Iowa model simply will not work in the Buckeye State.
