The Ohio Redistricting Commission is asking the state supreme court to rule on a legislative plan previously deemed unconstitutional only after it has been used for the 2022 general election.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
The requests also asked that the court appoint a special master – a neutral party appointed by the court – to lead the map-drawing process. They have also asked that new maps be ordered by the end of this week. A three-judge panel of that court have said they will order that the very same map re-adopted by the commission on May 5 be pushed through as the map for the 2022 general election.
“The General Assembly did not act and there is no indication that it will ever be able to secure supermajority votes in each chamber to pass emergency legislation to set a 2022 General Assembly primary election date and associated other election deadlines for the state legislative districts,” LaRose stated.
“Accordingly, the realities of administering Ohio elections compelled the commission to resubmit the third plan,” McColley and LaRe stated in court documents.
