GOP "seawall"? Ohio's congressional map under fire in court

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Nagels’ home is a house divided.

Mindy Nagel usually votes Democratic, while husband Tom usually goes Republican. But that’s only part of it — their bedroom is in Ohio’s 2nd congressional district, while their garage is in the 1st.

They say they’ve voted in both districts within the last three years. They were in House 1 until Ohio lost two seats in Congress because of U.S. population shifts recorded in the 2010 census. Republican-controlled redistricting followed for the 2012 elections, and the Nagels started voting in House 2, held by Republican Brad Wenstrup.

Until 2018, when the ballots at their polling place were again for House 1, Republican Steve Chabot’s seat, the Nagels said.

Confused? The Nagels were, too.

1. Ohio's maps are ridiculously gerrymandered.

And thanks to that, we get those insane abortion restriction bills passed into law and all those other draconian GOP policies. This HAS to be corrected!
