It is hopelessly gerrymandered. Look at OH-9. They did it to make voters choose between Kaptur and Kucinich. Taft, Blackwell, and Husted made it harder for people to vote, and also brought Diebold in for the machines. I had some hope when Obama and Holder formed their commission on redistricting, but, as usual, they ignored Ohio almost completely. I have some hard fucking feelings about the way things went this year, and some very hard feelings toward the state party and the big party, too. My vote helped Brown, and then absolutely nothing else. This state is fucked.
