Re: GOP owes house majority to gerrymander
I think it's pretty easy to see that districts 1, 2 and 8 are drawn to dilute the Democratic vote from Cincinnati. The districts around Cleveland and Akron are also drawn so that the central urban areas of two cities are in one tightly packed district and then the districts around them dilute the rest of the cities/liberal inner suburbs.
It's not really mysterious nor does it require insidious gerrymandering to undo it.
