The Associated Press has called all of 16 Ohio U.S. Congressional district races in favor of incumbents, both Republican and Democratic.

The AP has called the races in favor of incumbent Democratic U.S. Reps. Joyce Beatty, Marcy Kaptur, Marcia Fudge, and Tim Ryan, as well as Republican incumbents Steve Chabot, Troy Balderson, Dave Joyce, Jim Jordan, Bob Gibbs, Anthony Gonzalez, Bob Latta, Warren Davidson, Steve Stivers, Mike Turner, Brad Wenstrup, and Bill Johnson.

These largely represent Ohio’s least competitive districts, though since the last round of redistricting in 2011, no U.S. House seat in Ohio has flipped control from one party to the other.

Ohioans approved Congressional redistricting reform in 2018, a new process for drawing maps that will take place in 2021.
