Government Tuesday, July 3, 2012 Proposed amendment would give district-drawing power to citizens A 12-member commission would draw voting district boundaries by WKSU's STATEHOUSE BUREAU CHIEF KAREN KASLER |

 | | Catherine Turcer from Voters First and Ann Henkener from the League of Women Voters of Ohio stand before a mock-up of their proposed amendment at the Franklin County Board of Elections. | | Courtesy of Karen Kasler | A coalition of voter groups has filed what it says are enough signatures to give voters a chance to change how political maps are drawn in Ohio. Voters First is proposing a constitutional amendment to create a 12 member citizens’ commission that would draw the boundaries for state House and Senate districts as well as Congressional districts. Politicians, lobbyists and political donors could not serve on that panel. Catherine Turcer chairs Voters First, and says the group will file more than 430,000 signatures - 44,000 more than needed. |
“We’re celebrating Independence Day the way you should: Thinking about our forefathers, thinking about the quality of our vote, thinking about what can we as voters do to actually make a difference.”
Right now, state House and Senate districts are drawn by a five member panel of elected officials from the two major political parties, and the Congressional map is drawn by state lawmakers. The maps drawn last year resulted in lawsuits and a lengthy battle in the Legislature that at one point created two primaries for 2012. A deal over the map merged the primaries into one, but critics still claim the maps are unfair. |
