During Tuesday's oral arguments, all eyes were on Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor, a Republican who is considered a potential swing vote because she voted against the state legislative maps favoring the GOP in 2011.
From top left: Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor and Justices Pat DeWine and Patrick F. Fischer. Second row, from left: Justices Michael P. Donnelly, Melody J. Stewart, Sharon L. Kennedy and Jennifer Brunner. Attorneys for the plaintiffs and defendants are on the bottom row.
“This case is about how the General Assembly has thumbed its nose at these reforms and enacted a plan that palpably violatesnew anti-gerrymandering protections,” said Ben Stafford, an attorney representing 12 Ohio voters and the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, run by former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. Other plaintiffs include the ACLU of Ohio, League of Women Voters of Ohio and the A. Philip Randolph Institute, which advocates for Black voters.
