How The GOP Manipulated Ohio Elections

This animation was narrated by Pamela Adlon. After winning single-party control of the state in the 2010 elections, Ohio Republicans set out to redraw the state’s congressional map to their advantage. What unfolded is one of the most egregious examples of partisan gerrymandering in modern history. Rather than working through the official legislative process which involved a bipartisan task force, Ohio Republicans and national GOP operatives rented a secret hotel room in Columbus, known as “The Bunker.” They designed a map that would give Republicans a 12-4 advantage over Democrats, when it came to “winning” districts, and therefore, congressional seats. This unconstitutional, partisan advantage is locked in until 2022, unless stopped. The ACLU filed a lawsuit seeking to replace Ohio’s gerrymandered map immediately with one that reflects the will of voters and complies with the Constitution.
