Here in Ohio my new CD will be #15 after 2012. For the Nov. 2012 election I live in CD #7. The Ohio Republican Party worked out some kind of deal with the Ohio Democratic Party in order to avoid two primaries in 2012 (and also kill the referendum idea the Democrats had). Its a down right dirty rotten shame Ohio voters did not have the opportunity to vote on the matter. So we go another 10 years with our local votes not counting, and our CD votes being useless. The only vote I can cast that might help a candidate is President, Governor and Senator. And some say even those votes are rigged somehow.
