Those members of the list-serve that are following redistricting reform may
be interested in an analysis of Ohio's current political boundaries that
finds that moderates and wormen are under-represented in Ohio's current
political districts, that the party favored by district composition won 91%
of the time, and that the party that controlled the redistricting process
historically has gained an average of 8 seats in the Ohio house and 2 in the
Ohio Senate over the past 4 decades, even when that party was fairing poorly
in national elections.  Unlike the recent Rose Institute report, it does not
attempt to predict how things would change should redistricting reform be
adopted.
