How are Ohio Dems and others going to fight against gerrymandering?

After Texas fired the first shots in the nationwide redistricting war , some Democratic states have responded in-kind, threatening to gerrymander their own maps to counter attempts by Republicans to extend their slim majority in the House of Representatives.

The Ohio Democratic Party has vowed unified resistance to Republican attempts to further gerrymander the state’s congressional maps, and the nonprofit Equal Districts Coalition — a collection of faith communities, civil rights organizations, individuals, good government groups and others — is promising to push back against anything less than the maps currently in place, which give Republicans a 10-5 advantage over Democrats.
