Mosher's 13th District Seen Closest to One Man One Vote
Columbus Ohio state and federal figures show the 13th district represented by Charles A Mosher of Oberlin is the closest to the Supreme Court standard of one person one vote. The 1960 census set Ohio's districts at about 404,433 residents, with the 13th at 398,141, 1.6 percent below average. The redistricting plan from a 1984 session was nullified by a high court ruling for not meeting substantial equality, noting district variances from 20.9 percent below average in Franklin Countys 12th district to 13.2 percent above average in the 14th and Summit County.
