"Basically, this map anticipated a red wave that would carry all the close districts. But in the end, the wave was no more than a mist. Democrats won in the 3rd and 13th districts by 5 points. The resulting delegation, 10 Republicans and 5 Democrats, is only one seat more than the Ohio constitution would mandate."
Great article, and I'm still reading through it right now, but I believe there was a small mistake in the excerpt above. The two districts that Democrats won last week in Ohio by 5 points were the 1st and 13th. The 3rd district is the Columbus seat that is very blue.

Good catch on the 1st district, Brad. Thank you!
