It would be nice if the fixed the embarrassment of racism that is District 2 that cuts out the minority neighborhoods in northern Cincinnati and attaches them all the way to Portsmouth over 100 miles away. Just cuts them out like the center of a donut hole.

This has nothing to do with the Circuit court. This is the state, not federal, system.

It appears the white picket fence, no black or brown folk in our elections crowd lost a round here. Republicans know they are losers. The garbage they spew makes them unelectable unless they have a huge majority. Maybe they should try having an agenda that promotes things that help people instead of sucking on Trump's ass.

Maureen O'Connor has aged out and can't run for reelection, and Jennifer Brunner is running for Chief Justice. The other justice running for the office, Sharon Kennedy, is a crazy-ass Trumpist.

One thing you can say about Ohio courts, they do like handing Republican Secretaries of State their asses when they try this partisan shit in office. Every time Jon Husted tried to fuck with voting, the courts opened a can of whoop-ass on him.

These decisions are food for the soul. They are, to a degree, even more impactful when a Republican does the right thing, which also serves as a reminder of what we’ve come to expect from republicans. They don’t always get away with cheating, though they will doggedly keep working at it. Keep voting for decent people, they really do make our lives better.

And make them roughly equal in population. Otherwise I could draw a nice compact, contiguous district around my mom’s house and always win.
