Rep. Deborah Pryce (R, OH-15) voted "yea" for HR4411. She was reelected by only a few hundred votes in the last election and there was a recount. She has Ohio State University as part of her district.

Yes, great target.

Sorry, I'm late to this thread. I only check this forum once a week or so.

Anyways, I live in this district on campus (not an OSU student however). I do know a lot of students, several of which play poker. If this district is targeted, I would be happy to help.

A few notes about this district though. Columbus is a fairly moderate city, but the districts are gerrymandered horribly in favor of Republicans. Price got smoked in Columbus last election (like 70% for her opponent IIRC), but still won thanks to the very conservative rural counties included in this district. See picture below. The key will be getting the high turnout even higher on campus.



Price has also moved considerably toward the center since the last election, and she was fairly moderate before that. I think an e-mail campaign from OSU students may be effective to get an idea if she may change her mind on this issue. She certainly is feeling the heat still from her very narrow victory.

I will e-mail her this weekend and let everyone know if I get any kind of meaningful response.
