COLUMBUS, Ohio — A new congressional map proposed by Ohio Republicans favors the GOP to win an even greater share of the state’s congressional seats than they already have under the current, heavily gerrymandered maps.
But a closer look at the plan from Senate Republicans suggests that new anti-gerrymandering rules constrained them at least somewhat, forcing them to draw a map that, by some important measures, is fairer. The result is a map that could make some incumbent Republicans sweat.
