WCPN: Jason Johnson on Ohio Congressional Redistricting
Hiram College professor Jason Johnson discussed the impact of an Ohio Congressional Resdistricting proposal recently proposed by Buckeye State Republicans on a recent edition of The Sound of Ideas on Cleveland NPR affiliate WCPN.
There’s been a change of heart by 10th District Congressional Representative Dennis Kucinich, who now says he may stay in Ohio after all. The 15 year congressman says he was surprised by the GOP-proposed congressional map which was released yesterday… and did not eliminate his Cleveland-based district. The still unapproved proposal would instead create a new district along Lake Erie, forcing a likely face-off between Kucinich and current 9th District Representative Marcy Kaptur, of Toledo. The newly drawn map of Ohio’s congressional districts, with 16 seats instead of 18…. is designed to give the best advantage to Republicans, who dominate every branch of Ohio government. Overall, each party winds up losing one of the two seats the state lost after the 2010 census showed big population shifts to southern states. Jason Johnson is a Political Science Professor at Hiram College. He spoke with ideastream’s Bill Rice about what Republicans hope to accomplish with the new district boundaries.
