The Marietta community held a meeting about Ohio Issue One
MARIETTA, Ohio (WTAP) – We Are Ohio and Union Strong held a meeting to discuss Ohio Issue One.
Issue One is a bill that aims to end gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is defined as manipulating the boundaries in electoral districts to benefit a political party. The meeting itself allowed members of the community learn about what the bill aims to do and ask questions.
Associate Director of Common Cause Ohio, Mia Lewis, said she wanted to inform the public about Ohio Issue One.
However, Ohio republicans are against the bill. The Washington County Republican Party Chairman, Joe Derkin, said “Ohio Issue One is like a trojan horse. It claims to end gerrymandering but will only encourage it.”
