Where redistricting stands in Ohio and Indiana

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine points to a map during a press conference in Columbus, Ohio, Wednesday, July 31, 2024, where he opposed a fall ballot measure aimed at remaking the state's troubled political mapmaking system. If it passes, DeWine said he will work with state lawmakers next year to advance a competing amendment based on the Iowa model.

President Donald Trump has pushed for states to redraw their congressional maps, having said Republicans were “entitled to five more seats” in Texas. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a new congressional map into law Aug. 29, but the redistricting process is still ongoing in California and Missouri.

There are eight more states who have the possibility to enter the race to redistrict, including Indiana. Ohio is due for its mid-decade re-draw this year.

On Cincinnati Edition, we discuss what new maps could mean for each state and the nation.
