Redistricting OK in House unlikely
A special committee in Columbus agreed on a reapportionment plan to be offered when the House returns on Aug 9, but experts predict no agreement this session. The House proposal uses a 175 divisor for representation, unlike the Senate’s 150 divisor, and mandates subdistricting in two thirds of multi representative counties. Observers expect no consensus, possibly prompting a federal court to intervene with its own plan.
