This legislation is fully supported by the League of Women Voters and is designed to take extreme gerrymandering out of the process. Thanks to Rethuglican redistricting, my state house district is a 50-mile long bowling alley, which will make it a nightmare for anyone who actually might WANT to represent the district. The city of Akron is shattered for congressional representatives ... In some areas people living within blocks of each other now have different representatives.

And for Jim Renacci? They magically drew in Timken so he could rake in all of their "good government" donations.

Of course much money will be spent to defeat this proposal. Head out to League of Women Voters to learn more. //www.lwvohio.org/
