If redistricting was true to the intent of Ohio's laws, the statehouse would be approximately 52%-48% Republican. The Ohio House is 68% Republican and the Senate is 78% Republican. A legit redistricting would have ended up with multiple contestable seats which generally forces candidates to the center.
I'm not saying even a smaller majority would have changed the outcome on multiple bills but give voters a legitimate shot at deciding the victor instead of the district deciding it
Looks to me like she says the statehouse would be 52% Republican WITHOUT gerrymandering. The "smaller majority" she refers to is 52% Republican down from 68/78% Republican. (What did you think "smaller majority" referred to?) With that 52%, voters would be more likely to decide a bill than current districting allows. I.e., they would have a "better shot" at deciding the outcome of "multiple bills," not making Ohio blue. (Or what did you think she meant by reference to the the "outcome" of "multiple bills"?)
That's my summary of her argument. If I misunderstood her I'll bet she lets me know.
Still looks to me like you misread Pally, and rebutted a claim no one made.
Actually, I may have done exactly that. That doesn't change the fact you couldn't respond to anything else in my post. Like I've said many times, we all know you do this when you found nothing to nitpick, even after five or six attempts at the same post. But, as I also said, you're clearly not interesting in actually having a discussion, as your past two posts continue to indicate. So, please enjoy the rest of your day.
