For the second time this year, the Ohio Supreme Court has rejected state Republicans’ official congressional map plan as illegally gerrymandered, citing the new redistricting language added by voters to the state constitution in 2018.
COLUMBUS, Ohio --
Republican Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor once again joined the court’s three Democrats in rejecting a GOP-drawn map. The other three Republican justices, Pat DeWine, Sharon Kennedy and Pat Fisher, dissented, accusing the majority of exceeding their legal authority. While they made different arguments, the groups contended Republicans that dominate the Ohio Redistricting Commission unfairly split Democratic urban areas and the politically competitive suburban areas surrounding them to maximize the GOP’s advantage.
A similar process saw new redistricting rules for state legislative districts added to the state constitution in 2015.
