I would like to encourage all constituents of OH-4 to hire a different representative. I understand that there are plenty of applicants.

You've been in Washington 14 years and haven't passed a single bill.

Don't lecture people who work for a living.

resembles a duck, provides him with just enough ignorant voters that the saner, more intelligent ones are out of luck. In other words, in a fair fight, HE would be the one out looking for a job. And who the hell would hire this polyester shirt and crappy yellow tie-wearing sans sport coat slob.

In May 2019, a panel of three federal judges ruled that Ohio's congressional district map was unconstitutional and based on gerrymandering. A new map was expected ahead of the 2020 election. However, after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Rucho v. Common Cause that courts could not review allegations of gerrymandering, the district boundaries will not change until congressional district maps are redrawn in 2022. (from WIKI).

the most fucked up district I've ever seen!

That's some creative gerrymandering right there. Right down to street level vote packing in favor of republicans. That's just plain fucking crazy. 🤪

Courts should have the right to rule on gerrymandering because it disenfranchises some voters.

I would love to see sectioning of Congressional districts based on something neutral, like lattitudinal and longitudinal grid squares. Or, a requirement for a bipartisan panel in each state to do the district divisions.
