Ohio Supreme Court Rejects Redistricting Maps for Second Time

The court sided with the League of Women Voters of Ohio

For the second time, the Ohio Supreme Court has struck down the state’s redistricted legislative maps.

In a ruling released Monday, the court sided with the League of Women Voters of Ohio, which had filed an objection to the Ohio House and Senate maps adopted on Jan. 22 by a party-line vote.

In the ruling where the court said the approved redistricting plan was ‘invalid in its entirety,” the court set a 9 a.m. Feb. 17 deadline for the statehouse’s Ohio Redistricting Commission to present two new maps to Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose. The commission then has one day to submit the plan to the court.
