🧵Hearing has began with a full room, we thank everyone who showed up! Sadly they have just started uploading a map to the website... giving Ohioans NO CHANCE to testify for or against it. Here is the map the comission is voting on:

Last month, Leader Antonio said she wouldn’t support maps that “put the people’s interests last.” ‼️Now she’s reportedly considering a deal with Republicans for a 12 - 3 map — the exact opposite of what Ohioans asked for. We deserve leaders who put us first. #FairMaps #Ohio

124

Equal Districts @equaldistricts.org · 30/10/2025

Earlier this month, Leader Isaacsohn called Ohio’s 11–4 map “a gerrymander.” ‼️Now he’s cutting a deal with Republicans for a 12–3 map, even more rigged. You can’t call it unfair one week and sign off the next. Ohioans deserve #fairmaps, not sellouts. #ohio

The #Ohio #GOP has already taken away voters’ chance for fair #political representation with our current unconstitutional map. We won’t allow a situation where our redraw this year is used to make it even more unfair by robbing us of a true voice in our #democracy.

000

Equal Districts @equaldistricts.org · 15/10/2025

The #Ohio #GOP has already cheated #voters out of a fair shot at #political representation under our current rigged map. We won’t accept a scenario where our redraw this year is used as an opportunity to rig it even further by cheating us out of having a real voice in our #democracy.

Over a dark blue background, there is a photo of Ohio House Minority Leader Dani Isaacsohn. Above him there is a quote in dark blue and purple letters on white backing that reads “The idea that we would even consider further gerrymandering a state that's already one of the most gerrymandered maps in the country just adds insult to injury.” Under that, next to the photo of Representative Isaacsohn, there is text in light blue letters that reads “Don’t Settle. Don’t Cheat.” Below all of this is a purple blurb that looks like torn paper with the text “Ohio House Minority Leader Dani Isaacsohn” to indicate the above quote is from him.

Why are Ohio Republican lawmakers lying? Or, if we want to give them the benefit of the doubt, why are they getting confused about laws and language that they and their peers wrote that are vital to the matters they are working on at the moment? & how do they expect Ohioans to keep it straight?

Republican members of the congressional map-drawing committee are trying to gaslight us on what the constitution says instead of simply introducing a map so we can give feedback on it. We won't shut up about it until they follow the law.

Ohio's Constitution is clear - the legislature must introduce a plan and hold two hearings before the end of September. And a plan requires enough data and district boundaries to visualize on a map. Tell Speaker Huffman to show us the maps: actionnetwork.org/letters/show... (3/3)

G) Before the general assembly passes a congressional district plan under any division of this section, a joint committee of the general assembly shall hold at least two public committee hearings concerning a proposed plan. Before the Ohio redistricting commission adopts a congressional district plan under any division of this section, the commission shall hold at least two public hearings concerning a proposed plan.

(H) The general assembly and the Ohio redistricting commission shall facilitate and allow for the submission of proposed congressional district plans by members of the public. The general assembly shall provide by law the manner in which members of the public may do so.

(I) For purposes of filing a congressional district plan with the governor or the secretary of state under this article, a congressional district plan shall include both a legal description of the boundaries of the congressional districts and all electronic data necessary to create a congressional district map for the purpose of holding congressional elections.

In 2018, the Ohio legislature passed a resolution *SPONSORED BY MATT HUFFMAN* to spell out the process to be followed for drawing new Congressional maps. He * L I T E R A L L Y * sponsored the bill ‼️(2/3)

132nd General Assembly
Regular Session

A JOINT RESOLUTION

Proposing to amend the version of Section 1 of Article XI

that is scheduled to take effect January 1, 2021, and

to enact Sections 1, 2, and 3 of Article XIX of the

Constitution of the State of Ohio to establish a

process for congressional redistricting.

Yesterday Ohio House Speaker Matt Huffman stated that Ohio Republicans have no plans to introduce a map before the Sept. 22 redistricting hearing or Sept. 30 deadline for adopting a map If true, this would be a violation of the constitutional process that Matt Huffman sponsored in 2018... (1/3)

Asked if a map with Republican support would be released at the joint committee’s Sept. 22 meeting, Huffman said he didn’t think so given the point of 2018 reforms was to not have maps drawn “behind closed doors.” He added there will be maps submitted online as well as separate public input, and that the purpose of this month in the process is “negotiating with the Democrats.”

Huffman additionally called the Democrats’ map “their own version of gerrymandering” and reiterated that House Republicans are “going to follow the mandates” in terms of public input. He also said he couldn’t predict what may come from Ohio Redistricting Commission work, but he is “certain that there will be litigation” as that’s “what some law firms are meant to do.”
