BREAKING: I just vetoed Republicans' gerrymandering 2.0 maps.

These gerrymandered maps were modeled after the same gerrymandered maps we've had for a decade. They won't become law.

1. We knew to expect this when we voted in 2018

Everyone did their parts... the WI GQP gerrymandered the maps and claimed they were fair, and Tony vetoed them. Now on to the courts.

2. Will his veto be upheld?

3. Probably

Republics are just short of the 2/3 majority necessary.

But I think the state Supreme Court gets it next… and they lean red

5. The Supreme Court may get it right

Three justices are progressive, three are conservative, and one (the only male on the Court) is conservative but has in a few cases done the right thing and voted with the progressives.

4. I'm hoping but doubt that DeSwine vetoes our Ohio gerrymandered map.
