US House Redistricting: Ohio

What would a Kuch wins the primary and general CD look like? Any chance the GOP draws that as a vote sink?

That would be the black district. If Kucinich runs away from Marcia Fudge that's his problem.

I meant aside from that, obviously, since Kuch wouldn't beat her.

It will be a bit tricky to put all of the Cinci blacks in one CD without making it fairly marginal, unless those precincts are combined with the most hyper GOP ones in the area.

Precisely. This will displace Mean Jean a bit but no district is really going to switch.

A similar link with Warren instead of Clermont would protect all the incumbents.

Yeah, but I couldn't figure out how to nicely do that while also maintaining all of Cincinnati in 1 district.

I took the highlighted phrase above as the operative goal. That allows a split of Cinci.

Does that map place all of Cinci's white liberals in Schmidt's CD?

If Chabot can be made pretty safe with most of Cincy's black population (since 2008 black turnout overstates Obama numbers), can there even be a Kerry CD based in Cincinnati?
