OK - Sutton lost the Cuyahoga and Medina portions of her district. So combine Sutton-Ryan and then Kucinich-Fudge.
Also the 9th should take in as many Dems as possible in Lorain County.
Renacci would get a pretty big chunk of Cuyahoga County (definitely winnable - State House seats 16 17 18 are all R; unfortunately he’ll probably have to absorb 1.5 Dem state house seats - 14 was 64-36 D, 13 and 15 unopposed).
But then the district wouldn’t stretch to Canton-Akron.
Maybe shift Gibbs there, and then split up the 18th.
The 12th is at 756K, 35K over ideal size, but the adjoining
15th is 39K under, 7th is 38K under, 4th is 88K under, and the 18th (which I’m now planning to split up) is 68K under.
Columbus is Democrat so maybe you’re suggesting splitting it three ways instead of two.
1. Latta grabs a lot of the suburbs west of Toledo.
2. Kaptur grabs Lakewood/Lorain/Elyria City.
3. Fudge grabs the rest of Cleveland.
4. Warren, Akron, Youngstown, Kent, and Canton are all combined in Ryan's district.
5. You plop a brand new Dem CD on Columbus itself. Columbus is about 787k people, so 712k of that or so goes into this new CD.
