ANTONIO YES
ISAACSOHN YES
New Ohio Congressional Map...we have been sold out
📣"Your strategy of doing terrible things and hoping no one will notice, will not work. It cannot work" - Scott Sibley
THAT PART!
"People in this country are sick and tired of the vitriol. They want to come together. Gerrymandering keeps us apart. It keeps us from coming together and finding common grounds and good solutions." - Janine
🗣️Janine Migden-Ostrander: "I fear that you have lost your way and are not following the oath that you swore to take, and that you are ignoring your duties that you swore to do. The ends do not justify the means."
Frank LaRose: 🤨 #FairMaps #Ohio
🗣️Trevor Martin @lwvohio.bsky.social on connected districts with united interests: "A congressperson can represent a person far more successfully when they represent a connected district than they can a district of otherwise disconnected people."
#FairMaps #Ohio
"The #gerrymandering arms race sweeping the country has put a spotlight on just how sinister of a practice this is. It's a shame, and it's a plague on both your houses"
- Colin Marozzi
YES SHAKESPEARE 🤌 #Ohio #FairMaps
LOUDER 👏"Every one of you knows what #gerrymandering is and what it isn't. You set on your course of ignoring the law, ignoring the court, ignoring the voters, and demonstrating to the world what gerrymandering is and why politicians should not be involved in drawing #district lines"
- Mia Lewis
📣"With maps so distorted, outcomes are predetermined long before votes are even cast." - James Gregory
Thank you for speaking with so much grace, even though you were not treated with such. They did not let you finish your testimony. And like with everyone else, no questions were asked. #FairMaps
Zachary Gibbs preaching yet again!: "The Governor who could not grace his constituents with a moment of his time yesterday. Likely because he is simply just collecting his paycheck. So go ahead. Pat yourselves on the back." (DeWine laughed...)
First testimony today: "If the Democrats don't agree to a map now, we'll go back to the legislators where they will pass an even more gerrymandered map. This isn't a compromise. This is a threat." - Jullia Cattaneo
You called this a compromise... IT'S NOT
This #Halloween go tell Leaders Antonio & Isaacsohn to stop GHOSTING US! Bad maps are #spooky👻🎃 Don't settle. Don't cheat.
We won't accept a 12-3 Map. We urge you to reject it!
Our amazing @ohiogabe.bsky.social is nailing his testimony!! So much that the comission had to ask people to stop clapping 😂
"The public has been completely cut out of this process. Backroom meetings outside the public view are not how to draw maps." - THANK YOU
YES ZACHARY GIBBS! Thank you for pointing out that this commission is expected to produce something more than political theater...👏👏👏
"Are you afraid of allowing residents of the state of Ohio to have a fair election? One that allows us to pick our candidates?"
"I realized how badly we were gerrymandered with the Abortion Amendment when it passed. With such a majority, in such a red state. And I realized... how poorly are the people's interests being represented?" -Charity Frierson
Thank you for your words! 💜
👏Thank you Javier Diez for not being able to vote and still CARING, 17 and yet so wise. "It's an incredibly American thing to go up to the polling booth. But I want my vote to hold the same weight as other people in Ohio."
📢Our very own Bria Bennett NAILED her testimony!
"Republicans are trying to take away our voting power with rigged maps, and you Senator Antonio and Rep. Isaacsohn seem to be considering letting this happen"
As she stated: We WILL REMEMBER this
‼️"Why am I here again today, tilting at windmills? Because I constitutionally deserve as an American to have true representation in my government." - Michael Ahern testimony
Leader Antonio says she believes in fairness... however if she approves this map she will show us that she DOES NOT.
😖Don't thank us for coming, for showing up... we need YOU to LISTEN and to SHOW UP FOR US!
🚨Map can now be found online: redistricting.ohio.gov/maps
🧵Hearing has began with a full room, we thank everyone who showed up!
Sadly they have just started uploading a map to the website... giving Ohioans NO CHANCE to testify for or against it. Here is the map the comission is voting on:
Last month, Leader Antonio said she wouldn’t support maps that “put the people’s interests last.”
‼️Now she’s reportedly considering a deal with Republicans for a 12 - 3 map — the exact opposite of what Ohioans asked for. We deserve leaders who put us first. #FairMaps #Ohio
Earlier this month, Leader Isaacsohn called Ohio’s 11–4 map “a gerrymander.”
‼️Now he’s cutting a deal with Republicans for a 12–3 map, even more rigged.
You can’t call it unfair one week and sign off the next. Ohioans deserve #fairmaps, not sellouts. #ohio

Letter to the Editor
Ohio Redistricting Commission is ignoring the Constitution and the voters.
Our elected officials are ignoring us and not performing the basic duties that they are constitutionally required to perform.
