Number four on our list of 11 easiest congressional seats to win in America is Ohio’s 9th congressional district or as it is affectionately known Mistake by the Lake. One glance at the map will tell you all you need to know about Ohio’s 9th. It was created in its current form in 2010, by incorporating parts of another Democratic district, the 10th, into it. Seeing the writing on the wall, a long-standing representative of the 10th, Dennis Kucinich, tried to secure the nomination in the newly created 9th district, but lost to incumbent Marcy Kaptur, who represents the Ohio 9th since 1998. Kucinich, who served in Congress since 1997 retired from politics after his defeat.
