It’s Time For The Fair Districts Ohio Voters Want
We want fair districts that let voters choose their representatives, not politicians picking their voters. What do we mean? When Ohio’s districts are drawn to favor one party instead of being a fair representation of the voters in the district, elections are determined by the party in power –not you, the people. The election outcome is determined in the primary, not the general election. AAUW HHL supports fair districts drawn by an independent commission of citizens whose collective party affiliations are equal.
