Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced his opposition to a fall ballot issue aimed at reforming the state's political mapmaking system. He expressed his intention to work towards defeating the Citizens Not Politicians amendment and proposed an alternative amendment based on the Iowa model.
DeWine criticized the proposed amendment, arguing that it would lead to gerrymandering by mandating partisan proportionality in district maps. He highlighted the Iowa model, which prohibits consideration of past election results and aims to remove politics from the redistricting process.
