Federal judges in Ohio have thrown out the state’s Republican-drawn congressional map. It's the latest lower court to rule that partisan gerrymandering is unconstitutional while awaiting a SCOTUS ruling on the issue
Federal judges in Ohio have thrown out the state’s Republican-drawn congressional map — the latest lower court to rule that partisan gerrymandering is unconstitutional while awaiting a Supreme Court ruling on the issue.
In Ohio, the district court judges ruled that Ohio’s state Legislature must redraw the congressional map by June 14. But it’s likely Republicans will ask the Supreme Court to set aside the ruling. Regardless of the outcome of this case, the next round of redistricting in Ohio after the 2020 census will be conducted under reforms passed by voters in a ballot measure last year.
