“Petee Talley: This report validates what happens when the redistricting process and those in charge of it draw districts that all but guarantee the outcome of state legislative races, often at the expense of diminishing the voting power of Black voters in the state,” said Petee Talley, executive director and founder of Ohio Unity Coalition.
Ohio’s gerrymandered districts make it hard for voters of color to have their voice be heard through their vote, Talley said.
