In Ohio, a Standoff Over Political Maps Threatens the Next Elections
Years ago, voters created a commission to make political maps fairer. Now the State Supreme Court is blocking maps drawn by the Republican-led commission, saying nothing has changed.
John -- The Ohio Supreme Court rejected legislative maps for the third time because they deemed that partisan gerrymanders made the maps unconstitutional.
But Ohio is now in uncharted territory.
According to the New York Times, constitutional scholars and Ohio political experts believe the Republican-led redistricting commission was trying to “run out the clock” and force the Court to approve gerrymandered legislative maps in time for the state’s primary. But voters in Ohio believe the Court has the authority to adopt its own map -- like we’ve seen in North Carolina -- if the commission keeps refusing to comply with the law.
As this standoff in Ohio unfolds, we are helping voters in seven states challenge gerrymandered maps or defend fair maps in court. Can we count on your support?

With legislative maps in flux, the Ohio Supreme Court is also deciding whether to approve or reject the latest congressional map -- after rejecting a version earlier this year on the grounds of partisan gerrymandering.
All On The Line is helping voters in Ohio hold map manipulators accountable and demand action from legislators to ensure the upcoming primary election is fair.
