that said they would do it with the promise that the commission would solve the problem of unconstitutional maps. Even in ruling to put the maps in place, the two judges who stood as the majority said “we chose the best of our bad options.” “First, no map had won the approval of both the Commission and the Ohio Supreme Court. And second, Map 3 gave the State the most time to fix its own problem. That broke the tie,” the ruling from the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals stated.
