The partisan map was only going to last for four years, now they're back to the drawing board

The Ohio Supreme Court has ruled that the GOP-drawn state House and Senate maps are unconstitutionally gerrymandered in a 4-3 decision Wednesday, sending the Ohio Redistricting Commission back to the drawing board. The Ohio Redistricting Commission must take another crack at complying with provisions of a 2015 constitutional amendment within 10 days.

In Canada, the "ridings" -- representative districts -- are drawn up by nonpartisan civil servants. We should take a lesson from that. Neither party can be trusted with control of the electoral map.

That's no reason to let Citizens United stand.

It absolutely is.

Money =/= speech. Nobody including the candidates themselves should be allowed to influence the outcome of any election by spending money on it.
