    Ohioans overwhelmingly voted in favor of ending gerrymandering in 2015 and 2018. The courts said no to 7 unfair map attempts. Keep politicians from both sides away from this process and we have a good chance of getting what we voted for the first 2 times.

    Sounds like what happened in Wisconsin until the court stepped in. No to Gerrymandering!

    One idea: (1) Determine the number of congressman in a state based on votes cast for a party. (2) Create two maps of the state, one for Democrat, one for Republican. The whole state is covered twice, once by each party. (3) Divide those individual maps into congressional seats. The result is that everyone in that state can be represented by either a Republican or a Democrat. More people will have representation in their district. There are probably some issues with this concept, but I wanted to throw the idea out there.
