The court challengers in a case against Ohio’s U.S. Congressional district map seem to be backing down from the current legal fight.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
The argument McTigue makes is that, though the map still unduly favors the GOP and a U.S. Supreme Court case only bolsters the argument for rejection of the congressional map, it’s a matter of timing. “Even assuming acted with the utmost diligence to draw a new plan … and even if the new plan fully corrects the existing deficiencies … this means that Ohioans would remain in limbo, for months at least, as to what map will be used in 2024,” McTigue wrote to the court.
The argument went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court as Senate President Matt Huffman led the parties who argued the judicial branch couldn’t dictate redistricting matters. But circumstances are different than when the case was filed in March of last year, he said. Though the March plan “still reflected undue favoritism for the majority party,” some of the issues had been fixed, according to the anti-gerrymandering parties represented in the lawsuit.
