⚠️ Manipulated map alert

Republicans in Ohio just proposed state legislative maps -- and it’s exactly the kind of partisan manipulation we’ve been warning about.

[These maps are gerrymandered and would enable Republicans to maintain their grip on Ohio's Statehouse for another decade]( -- further stalling progress on things like access to reproductive health care, action on climate change, protecting our freedom to vote, LGBTQ rights, and common sense gun violence prevention in the state. We have less than a week before map drawers in Ohio finalize their legislative maps before the September 15 deadline and shift attention to the state’s U.S. Congressional districts. We know Ohio Republicans have used map manipulation to place extremists like Jim Jordan in Congress -- we can’t let them do it again.

We’re hearing from some of the commissioners that map drawers were instructed to ignore demographic and racial data. These proposed maps are skewed partisan -- even more gerrymandered than the Ohio legislative maps drawn in 2011 -- and the district lines do not reflect our communities. We also have reason to believe that map drawers did not do analysis to see if these maps violate protections established by the Voting Rights Act. This is a huge red flag!
