If OH-01 was so badly gerrymandered, Aftab would have mopped the floor with Steve-O Norbert Jun 2022 #2

Yep. Ohio was/is so gerrymandered it is near impossible to elect a D in Southern Ohio except for Cincinnati City elections. He would have sent Steve Combover to the bench if it had been a fairly drawn district, but the state legislature persists in dividing Cincinnati into two different congressional districts, each surrounded by enough blood red rural/suburban areas to drown out the blue dot that is Cincinnati. So proud of the work he is doing as Mayor. Love Aftab!
