Deadline Approaching for Federal Court to Act on Ohio Redistricting Dispute

In another 4-3 ruling, the Supreme Court of Ohio has — for the fifth time — invalidated state House and Senate redistricting maps adopted by the Ohio Redistricting Commission. The court has ordered the commission to produce another map by Friday, June 3.

However, on Saturday, May 28, a three-judge federal panel is expected to weigh in on the redistricting dispute. As reported by Hannah News Service, the panel previously indicated that it was ready to order the state to use the Ohio Redistricting Commission’s third set of maps for General Assembly districts if no compromise was reached. 5/25/2022
