How can you vote on maps?
The maps in question are for voting districts.
Yeah, but it still makes no sense. Like how can you have actual representation when the district's are changed like underwear? It's not a check and balance, it's just a waste of tax payer money and time.
I believe that under normal circumstances, redistricting happens every ten years, roughly correlating with updated census results. Except when the map is gerrymandered to all hell, and someone raises a legal challenge to it, and the court orders a correction, and then the "corrected" map is still gerrymandered, and the court goes, "No ... do it again."
I'm not sure whether that's happened in Ohio specifically, but I know it's happened.
It's pretty insane. That people even put up with it. I mean, in some cases, we know it's CRT, and even dominionists trying to sow up local representative democracy, but when people are just "meh" about it or spin it as some weird form of "check and balance", it just shows an inability to see a petty game unfold.
Gerrymandering: In representative electoral systems, gerrymandering is the political manipulation of electoral district boundaries with the intent to create undue advantage for a party, group, or socioeconomic class within the constituency. The manipulation may involve "cracking" or "packing".
