Gov. DeWine Opposes Ohio's Anti-Gerrymandering Amendment

The proposed measure aims to establish a citizen-led panel for redistricting, but DeWine advocates for an alternative model.

DeWine argues the amendment would worsen gerrymandering by prioritizing proportionality over fair districts.
He proposes adopting Iowa's redistricting model, which involves a nonpartisan legislative service commission.
The amendment, backed by Citizens Not Politicians, seeks to remove politicians from the redistricting process.
Democrats and amendment supporters criticize DeWine's stance as a move to maintain GOP dominance.
The Ohio Supreme Court previously ruled that maps approved by DeWine were gerrymandered to favor Republicans.
