On Friday Nov 22, I flew out to Columbus Ohio to present <a href=\"\/news\/2013\/10\/03\/ohio-2010\/\">our research<\/a> on how the Census Bureau\u2019s decision to count incarcerated people as residents of the correctional facilities and not of their homes distorts democracy in Ohio. During the presentation, I told the stories of how Maryland and New York built a movement to pass their first-in-the-nation laws ending prison gerrymandering.<\/p>\n<p>Greg Moore of the NAACP National Voter Fund and Deidra Reese of Ohio Voice then led a discussion about next steps. There was a lot of enthusiasm in the room, and I\u2019m looking forward to working with the groups in the near future on a successful campaign in Ohio.
