Holler. Where My Ohio Delegates?

Fresh in from the Ohio Democratic Party, this handy dandy map of where the Ohio Delegates are scattered throughout the state.
Just looking at this map you can see why Youngstown and Northeast Ohio are getting so much attention. With OH-17 in particular, it's got an actual odd number of delegates so there can actually be a winner there. Same goes for 12 CD, 3 CD, 6 CD, and 16 CD.
One suggestion for the party, they should put a little mansion in Ottawa county and list it as three delegates. Afterall, Chris Redfern's (and his two appointees) superdelegate votes alone are almost worth more than the entirety of the first Congressional District's share. I think you need to represent that on the map.
Fascinating resource!

I'm totally wonking out on this. Thank you, Jerid!
Fascinating the way the party rewards loyal Democratic regions (see: Cleveland/Akron/Canton/Youngstown/Toledo) with mass delegates, but hardcore Republican regions not so much (see: Cincinnati).
Even my little hometown county of Montgomery gets one more delegate than the far more populated Hamilton county. I think that's pretty cool. And damned interesting.
