Compared to other state maps this is really good???
WTF?
The worst use of gerrymandering is for the purpose of promoting one race over the other.
Strangely, racial gerrymandering is the one type of gerrymandering usually approved by the courts.
Districts should be created based on a formulaic approach.
Take the number of legal residents and divide by the number of seats to obtain the average number of residents (ANR).
Start with the capital building. Draw a circle on a map the size necessary to encompass the ANR. Adjust the circle to natural boundaries such as streets, waterways, and other easily identifiable boundaries so that it is aligned with the original circle as close as possible and ANR is maintained within 3%.
Repeat the above for the next district using the next largest population center in the state. Where boundaries are within 1 mile of two districts, normalize to one boundary. Repeat until you have 2 districts remaining.
Divide the remaining areas between the two districts.
Normalize all districts so that they are ANR +/- 2%
Remember how Capone operated
Remember how JFK got elected
Remember how Biden got elected
Districts 5, 7, 6, 9, 10 and 15 strike me as a bit odd.
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.
