The Ohio 100

Ohio is often a political battleground and a bellwether for the nation. But why? Ohio is a vastly diverse state. More than 11 million people call it home. But what if Ohio was made up of only 100 residents representing the state’s current diversity? What would they look like? Where would they live and work? How much would they make?
