9. Ohio is a 55/45 split favoring Republicans according to historic votes

Our districts are 12 republicans and 4 democratic.

Ohio will lose one district this year, so Republicans drew a map with one less Democratic district. Eventually, by the third attempt they changed some to "toss up districts", but the ones that favor Dems do so by 2 or three points. The ones they say slightly favor republicans do so with a 21% advantage.

This all started in 2010 when Republicans discovered computers and used them in "Operation Red State" where every state with a republican in charge drew maps to give themselves permanent advantage.
