Ohio Supreme Court strikes down redistricting maps—for the THIRD time
Late Wednesday, the high court in Ohio rejected maps drawn up by the Ohio Redistricting Commission for the third time, which struck a blow to Republicans who control both state legislative chambers. Conservative Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor,reported, came down against the maps in the 4-3 decision.
“In its decision, the court’s majority pointed to a flawed process that led to a flawed product,” the report continued. “It also made a suggestion for the next round of mapmaking: draft maps in public, convene frequent meetings, and use a different mapmaker.” Another piece of advice handed down by the court: The commission should not enlist merely “Republican legislative leaders.”
