The Hill says
Boehner has been intimately involved in Ohio's redistricting process. The state is losing two congressional seats because of weak population growth. While Republicans control the whole process, demographic realities mean they must ax one Democratic and one Republican district.
Jordan's transgression against party leaders might cost him his seat. Post-Dispatch sources close to the redistricting process said it was the "final straw" and that he is not a "team player."
So let's say that Jim Jordan doesn't backtrack and votes himself into being redistricted out of office. This is one possibility for him..
Most of the current 4th would be paired with Steve Austria (R-Beavercreek). With the 4th losing parts to the 5th (Lima and Findley). And Jim Jordan's Urbana house winding up in a district with Steve Stivers.
So let's look at the map, district by district
Incumbent: Steve Chabot (R-Cincinnati)
The 1st adds Republican parts of Hamilton County (Deer Park/Blue Ash) to produce a 52/47 Obama margin. The 2003-2013 results for 2008 was 55/44 Obama. The partisan average would be 50.5/49.5 for the Republicans.
Incumbent: Jean Schmidt (R-Loveland)
The 2nd makes up for the loss of suburban Cincinnati by picking up rural Southern Ohio. This might mess with the usual Schmidt "run far behind the ticket" dynamics, but the district stays 58/40 McCain and 55/45 Republican. So she might get primaried anyways.
Incumbent: Mike Turner (R-Dayton)
The 3rd becomes slightly redder as it picks up Republican areas of Dayton, and moves up to 52/47 McCain instead of 51/47 McCain. As well, Republicans average 53/47 in this district.
Incumbent: Steve Austria (R-Beavercreek)
In order to weaken Jim Jordan's shot at renomination in this district, the 4th loses Lima, Urbana, and Findley. It keeps Marion/Kenton/Mansfield. The district went 56/42 McCain, down from 60/39 in the old lines. The partisan average is 55/45 Republican.
Incumbent: Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green)
The 5th gains Lima/Findley and loses the Democratic half of Bowling Green. The Presidential results are 57/41, up from the 53/45 results under the current lines. It also has a 57/43 Partisan average.
Incumbent: Bill Johnson (R-Marietta)
The 6th gains weight and loses length. Picking up Cambridge/New Philadelphia and losing Ironton. The district is 49/49 Presidentially (Obama by 1000) and 63/37 Dem on the average. Due to the logistics and not wanting to undermine the next district, there's not a lot that can be done. It picks up Zack Space and John Boccieri's houses but probably still doesn't have Charlie Wilson's house.
Incumbent: Bob Gibbs (R-Nashville)
The old 7th and this 7th do overlap in the middle. But this one takes in most of the 18th, dropping Zack Space off in the 6th. The realities of handling a 13-5 delegation in a 16 district state leads to a 49/49 district (McCain by 2000) and a 54/46 Dem average.
Incumbent: John Boehner (R-West Chester)
The 8th drops some areas to help the 3rd, and picks up areas from the 4th. It went 62/36 McCain and averages 61/39 Republican.
Incumbent: Marcy Kaptur (D-Toledo)
na na na na votesink... Kaptur's district is now 61/37 Obama and 65/35 Democratic, so it's pretty much the same but with Bowling Green's Democrats included.
Incumbent: none
Why not create a new seat while losing 2? This combination of Sutton and Kucinch's seats is 55/43 Obama and 61/39 Democratic. So it's more Republican than the current districts of Sutton and Kucinich as well.
Incumbents: Dennis Kucinich (D-Cleveland) and Marcia Fudge (D-Warrensville Heights)
The district is 49.6% African-American, 39.7% White and 6% Hispanic. It also gave Obama 82% and Democrats 83%. So the Obama percentage is down from 85/14, but it's essentially a safe district.
Incumbent: Pat Tiberi (R-Galena)
The one district that had to lose population from it's 2000 lines. It takes the losses in Franklin County and goes to 53/45.5 from 53/46, with a 51/49 Democratic partisan average
Incumbents: Betty Sutton (D-Copley) and Tim Ryan (D-Niles)
Sutton is from the West End. Ryan is from the East End. If they're picking two Dems to reduce to one dem, might as well match two who are under 50. The district is 64/34 Obama and 72/28 Democratic. Higher than Ryan's 62% and Sutton's 57%.
Incumbent: Steve LaTourette (R-Bainbridge Township)
The 14th continues to creep southward. It was 49/49 before this redistricting and 49.5/49 Obama now, a margin of 2000 votes. It also 52/48 Democratic on average.
Incumbents: Steve Stivers (R-Columbus) and Jim Jordan (R-Urbana)
The district loses some Dem areas in Columbus and picks up Republican areas. But it's still a 53/45 Obama district and a 53/47 Democratic district. But it was 54/45 under the old lines.
Incumbent: Jim Renacci (R-Wadsworth)
The district picks up some outskirts and drops Alliance (bye John Boccieri!) and Massillion. So it becomes a 51/47 McCain district and a 52/48 Democratic district, after being 50/48 McCain in 2008.
Overall
the map is 9-7 Obama, but it's 3000 votes from 9-7 Republican. Amongst the 9 Obama districts, the only ones that become bluer are the 6th and 13th. And 5 of the 9 Obama districts have him under 55%. So 12-4 is in play here with the loss of Jordan and Kucinich. Of the Republican freshmen, Chabot, Renacci and Stivers get a better district, Gibbs and Johnson sort of split even, and any gain for Gibbs would be at the expense of Johnson.
It wouldn't stun me if there was a way to split Columbus 4 or 5 ways that could give Stivers/Tiberi red districts.
