This case is a challenge to Ohio’s current United States congressional redistricting plan (the “plan” or “map”) as an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander that violates the First Amendment, the Fourteenth Amendment, and Article I of the United States Constitution. 2. The current Ohio map is one of the most egregious gerrymanders in recent history. The map was designed to create an Ohio congressional delegation with a 12 to 4 Republican advantage—and lock it in for a decade. It has performed exactly as its architects planned, including in 2012, when President Barack Obama won the state. In statewide and national elections, Ohio typically swings from Democrats to Republicans. In this decade, Republicans have secured 51% to 59% of the total statewide vote in congressional elections.

  • William Lincoln
    424 American Antiquarian Society. [Oct. WILLIAM LINCOLN. BY CHARLES A. CHASE. IT has been the good fortune of this Society, through the four-score years of its existence, that at every period in its history there has been at least one man who stood forward to render such service as should best promote its interests. Our founder gave his valuable collection of books and newspapers as a nucleus for the library, and bestowed upon us the first library-building as a depository for its treasures and such accretions as it should receive in follow- ing years ; finally crowning his frequent benefactions with rich bequests for its maintenance and perpetuation. In later years, the work has been well kept up ; now by those who were diligent and unwearying in gleaning from every field the choicest grains, to be garnered in the magazine ; now by those whose intelligent munificence has builded a newer and a larger storehouse, or has furnished the means to employ skilful reapers, or to increase the gathered har- vest. Prominent among those to whom the Society must ever be indebted, stands the name of William Lincoln, who gave it his unintermitted attention during his all-too- brief a lifetime. Mr. Lincoln was the brother, and by twenty years the junior, of the Hon. Levi Lincoln, long a Councillor of the Society. Born at Worcester, on September 26, 1802, he • was the seventh and youngest child of that Levi Lincoln who, coming to Worcester in December, 1775, was at once appointed Clerk of the courts which had then just been re-opened, was for four years Judge of Probate, was 1891.] William Lincoln.

Her advice has helped me to dig just a bit deeper than my original ideas and produce a more professional paper. Thank you, Dr. Goldberg. I also wish to thank my wife, Janet, for her patience, her editing, and sage advice.

  • Vol. 01/ 6 (1916)
    REVIEWS OF BOOKS History of Stearns County, Minnesota. By WILLIAM BELL MITCHELL. In two volumes. (Chicago, H. C. Cooper Jr. and Company, 1915. xv, xii, 1536 p. Illustrated) These two formidable-looking volumes, comprising some fif­ teen hundred pages in all, are an important addition to the literature of Minnesota local history. The author is himself a pioneer. Coming to Minnesota in 1857, he worked as surveyor, teacher, and printer until such time as he was able to acquire the St. Cloud Democrat. He later changed the name of the paper to the St. Cloud lournal, and, after his purchase of the St. Cloud Press in 1876, consolidated the two under the name St. Cloud Journal-Press, of which he remained editor and owner until 1892. During this period he found time also to discharge the duties of receiver of the United States land office at St. Cloud, and to serve as member of the state normal board. It would appear, then, that Mr. Mitchell, both by reason of his long resi­ dence in Stearns County and of his editorial experience, was preeminently fitted for the task of writing the volumes under review. Moreover, he has had the assistance of many of the prominent men of the county in preparing the general chapters of the work. Among these may be noted chapters 2-6, dealing with the history of Minnesota as a whole during the pre-territorial period, by Dr. P. M. Magnusson, instructor in history and social science in the St. Cloud Normal; a chapter on "The Newspaper Press" by Alvah Eastman of the St.
