COLUMBUS (AP) — Some of Ohio’s political maps are going back to the drawing board.
Republican Gov. That’s after Mike DeWine reconvened the Ohio Redistricting Commission for Sept. 13 to re-draw Statehouse maps determined to be unconstitutional.
A federal court ordered Ohio’s 2022 legislative elections to proceed on a one-time basis under maps the Ohio Supreme Court found were gerrymandered in favor of Republicans.
The existing Ohio House and Senate maps resulted in even larger GOP supermajorities being elected to both legislative bodies.
Ohio’s congressional map also was ruled unconstitutional, but it remains in limbo as part of a separate legal dispute.
