US House Redistricting: Ohio

Torie: if the VRA doesn't apply in Ohio why did you put so much time and effort into making OH-11 majority Black?

My gerrymander is going to be moderate/tempered. I even packed Columbus' minorities, students and white collar liberals into a district just to be safe. Stivers(sp?) would be an easy target for Democrats anyways even if his district stayed in its current configuration.

edit: I see what Torie is saying now, gerrymandering ohio further is a pain.

Only the preclearance requirement doesn't apply.

It's a combo of political expedience (the GOP-black politician entrepreneur alliance thing on this decennial gerry thing is always fascinating to watch), and legal caution, so it is a done deal, that unless the OH-11 prong to Akron itself makes the map vulnerable (no it does not) of course it will be done by the Pubbies!  So let it be done; it is so written.

This is how I did it without the OH-11 Akron prong:
