The "wrong winner" disparity in Ohio

Columbus Dispatch District lines in Ohio foil Democrats by Jonathan Riskind and Jim Siegel Sunday, December 3, 2006 A clear majority of Ohioans who voted in the Nov. 7 election preferred a Democratic congressional candidate.

So did Franklin County voters, where Democratic House candidates drew in excess of 10,000 more votes than Republicans.

The result?

While Democrats won nearly 53 percent of the congressional votes statewide, only about 39 percent of Ohioans will be represented next year by Democrats in Congress.
