The new district maps must be approved by the state Supreme Court.
The new maps give Republicans a 57-42 advantage over Democrats in the House and 20-13 edge in the Senate.Because a consensus wasn’t reached, the new maps, which still require approval by the state Supreme Court, would only last for four years, not 10.
House Minority Leader and Commission member Allison Russo decried the vote, saying it was not in line with the will of Ohio voters over the last ten years, or what the court required when it sent the commission back to try again. The Democrats’ proposal called for 54 Republican-leaning districts and 45 Democratic-leaning districts in the Ohio House, and 18 Republican-leaning districts and 15 Democratic-leaning districts in the Ohio Senate, according to a press release from Russo’s office.
