Redistricting sucks
So I am reviewing the proposed congressional redistricting for OH, and I see that my brother and I will share the same Repuke congressperson, but my sisters in the same county as us will have a different Repuke. I could go on a rant about gerrymandering, but they will have a fundamentalist teabagging white-breadish self described (but little practicing) Christian worthless bastard. I'm trying to count my blessings here!

I'm getting Stivers; my sisters will have Jordan. Yikes!:shrug:

1. I live in Warren County (SW Ohio)...
and are going from the 2nd Congressional District to the 1st Congressional District. My congress critter was Mean Jean Schmidt but now we are stuck with Steve Chabot. He is as stupid and fringe as Schmidt. To make things worse the two congressional districts are now more right leaning than before the redistricting!

2. I'm getting Latta for
Jordan. A little improvement as Jordan is the bottom of the barrel.

3. Chopped up counties are not a good thing
This new map hacks so many counties into bits and pieces. It will be very hard for the county parties to help in congressional races. Partial counties don't the the respect of whole counties. The tea party really screwed us in the last election. This is just an example of corporate power in government.
