COLUMBUS, Ohio --
Republican Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor once again joined the court’s three Democrats in rejecting a GOP-drawn map. The other three Republican justices, Pat DeWine, Sharon Kennedy and Pat Fisher, dissented, accusing the majority of exceeding their legal authority. While they made different arguments, the groups contended Republicans that dominate the Ohio Redistricting Commission unfairly split Democratic urban areas and the politically competitive suburban areas surrounding them to maximize the GOP’s advantage.
A similar process saw new redistricting rules for state legislative districts added to the state constitution in 2015.
Remember when the Ohio Supreme Court ruled that the way we fund public education based on property taxes was illegal, like 3 times & no one paid any attention?
I have map whiplash
I think dist. 5, which literally looks like a salamander, is Gym Jordan's.

Maybe Republicans could actually get power by...getting more votes. What a novel idea.
