    Gerrymandering doesn’t impact statewide races, only house races. They still went for Trump and elected a Republican senator. They also have a Republican governor.

      Ok, but I said before Trump was in office, Ohio was historically pretty purple. In the 50 years before Trump, Ohio voted for the Democratic presidential candidate 5 times, and the Republican candidate 5 times. In the same time frame, the state has had 3 Democratic governors to 4 Republican. The state has largely been split between the two parties for a vast majority of it’s history.
