Ohio's top politicians approved a new congressional map with bipartisan support − a compromise to avoid worst-case scenarios for both parties.

Ohio Republicans picked off two more congressional districts to gerrymander, in defiance of the Ohio Constitution and the clear will of Ohio voters. They framed their con as a “compromise” with Ohio Democrats who defended their complicity in disenfranchising thousands of Toledo and Cincinnati voters as the best possible outcome.

Dozens of races are on the ballot in several counties across the region. The most notable being the race for Cincinnati mayor and Cincinnati City Council.

Dr. Amy Acton, a Democratic candidate for Ohio governor, visited Coshocton for two events on Oct. 26 hosted by Coshocton United, drawing a crowd of about 200 people, according to a community announcement.

Democrat’s go for pragmatism over principle in approving gerrymandered districts that give Republicans 12 of 15 congressional seats through 2031, even though Ohio is much more balanced. When will Democrats stop appeasing Republicans and go to the mat?

High-profile races are unfolding across the country on Tuesday, including New York City's mayoral election and governor's races in New Jersey and Virginia. In California, voters will consider a ballot measure that puts forth a redrawn congressional map that could net Democrats five House seats.
