My latest via @OhioCapJournal: "Hindsight may be 20/20, but when it comes to redistricting, perhaps we need 20/30 vision. That’s because 2030 is the year that the next Census that determines congressional and state legislative apportionment will take place." ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/…

Gerrymandering’s real stakes: voters’ voices.
@RileyTopping and I joined @amritsingh on @SpecNews1SoCal to discuss what Ohio’s fight over fair maps reveals about America.

There should never be a time where we are celebrating suppressing the rights of voters.
Spoke on that and more with @politico @melmason.

"Hearings lately have devolved into everybody trying to have their viral moment. I think of the [Eric Schmitt moment]... As a former staffer, I'm like so horrified... My boss used to say to me that my number one job was not to make him look stupid." —@RileyTopping

Rory Riley Topping and Josh Rultenberg, the authors of “Draw the Line in Ohio,” are on a mission to break down gerrymandering for a wider audience, one “get in, loser” at a time. ow.ly/eTnT50ZTc7g

We wrote Draw the Line in Ohio, but lines in any state have reverberations around the country. That was the theme of our west coast tour. #gerrymandering anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
Thanks @uscdfelab @GovArnoldUSC @politico @spectrumnewsca
More to come 👀

"I think people on both sides of the aisle are frustrated with elderly lawmakers and the fact that we have people dying in office. We have vacancies. We have people taking long leaves of absence."

Great event this week on a new book on Ohio redistricting with authors @RileyTopping & @JRultenberg. Read it for first-hand account of elected officials who refused to follow court orders in redistricting, among other machinations. xitter.cf/uscdfelab/status/21100…
Hosted @USC DFE Lab's first event of fall 2026 with @RileyTopping & @JRultenberg talking about how Ohio was ground zero for partisan redistricting warfare, despite efforts to reform. Great turnout, fantastic questions, and free books for all attendees!

"For [Ohio] Republicans, Vivek Ramaswamy is just not, I think, a candidate that a lot of them are drawn to... [Jon Husted] was kind of next in line to be governor, but then Trump got involved, and was like, 'No, I want my friend Vivek to be governor." —@RileyTopping
Rory Riley-Topping retweeted
"What's unique about the governor's race and the senate race in Ohio right now is... Democrats finally ran candidates that made sense for the state."
On the @ReaganCaucusAct Podcast, we asked @RileyTopping how a state Trump won by double-digits is looking so bad for the GOP.
