"Gerrymandering is cheating. Ohio Republicans mastered it. In this well-written and deeply reported book, Topping and Rultenberg have unraveled their devious, lawless, and highly effective playbook. Read this now –because your state is next."

~David Daley, best-selling author of Ratf**ked: Why Your Vote Doesn't Count and Antidemocratic: Inside the Right's 50-Year Plot to Control American Elections

"In an era of dizzying cartographic acrobatics, when we've seemingly gone from redistricting every ten years to every ten seconds, Rory Riley Topping and Josh Rultenberg have performed a true public service by chronicling one state's tug-of-war between Republican gerrymandering, voters demanding reform, and ever-shifting courts. Draw the Line in Ohio tells the story of the state's chaos, but its lessons extend far beyond Ohio's lines. Readers across the country will benefit from learning about a microcosm of the nation's high-stakes reckoning with increasingly absurd partisan gamesmanship."

~David Wasserman, Senior Editor of the Cook Political Report with Amy Walter

"Gerrymandering is not sexy. Most analysis and discussion of this assault on democracy gets lost in the wordy weeds. Thankfully, the work of Topping and Rultenberg is the opposite. With a compelling and page-turning story of facts, insights, and exclusive reporting, Draw the Line in Ohio makes readers feel not only more informed about gerrymandering but more emboldened to demand answers towards fixing our current reality. This dissection of Ohio is the blueprint to improve America."

~Luke Russert, MS Now Host and New York Times bestselling author of Look For Me There

“Political corruption is often insidious and invisible, with ongoing gerrymandering being one of the gravest threats facing free elections in America. Through a real-life case study, insider testimonies, expert insight, and incisive analysis, Topping and Rultenberg bring to light the many ways that politicians manipulate our electoral process and, by doing so, offer hope for reclaiming the power of every citizen’s vote.”

~Michael Steele, former chair of the Republican National Committee and former Lieutenant Governor of Maryland
