| Description | Ohio voters will face one, rather than two, ballot issues on congressional redistricting this year as a deal was struck Monday between dueling factions over how to curb political abuse of the process.
After several false starts, Republicans, Democrats, and a coalition of government watchdog, civil rights, labor, and voting rights organizations agreed on a proposed constitutional amendment that will be put before voters on the May 8 ballot.
The plan will limit the ability of those controlling the map-drawing pencil from drawing districts to favor a political party or incumbents. It is designed to encourage enactment of a 10-year map with minority party support rather than a stop-gap four-year map without it. |
