Redistricting

Ohio Republicans are once again running out the clock drawing new congressional district maps.

President Donald Trump has ramped up pressure on Republican governors to draw up new maps in an attempt to give the party an easier path to maintain control of the House in the midterms.

Ohio Democrats unveiled a map in September that was quickly rejected by the Republican supermajority, but the GOP has not yet publicly unveiled a map it will support.

Missouri is the second state to gerrymander its congressional map after President Donald Trump set off a nationwide redistricting battle in July to try to maintain control of the U.S. House in the 2026 midterms. Multiple other states, including North Carolina, Indiana, Florida, Ohio, and Kansas could soon follow.

Congressional redistricting is underway in Ohio again, but many of its one-time supporters say it isn't working as intended.

One month into a three-month process, statehouse Republicans hold all the cards in drawing new congressional district maps for Ohio.

State lawmakers will miss the first benchmark for Congressional redistricting, meaning the Ohio Redistricting Commission must reconvene, facing an Oct. 30 deadline.

Will state lawmakers redraw their maps to benefit the GOP?

Ohio's leaders will be drawing new congressional district lines this fall, and citizens can submit their suggestions.
