ACLU, voting-rights groups ask Ohio Supreme court to force redistricting commission to meet amid GOP stalling

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is attempting to persuade the Ohio Supreme Court to require the state’s bipartisan redistricting commission to return to work on new election maps. The ACLU has expressed the fear that Republican members of the commission are attempting to “run out the clock,” because federal judges have declared that they will require the state to proceed with election maps that the state courts rejected as discriminatory and unconstitutional if no new maps are agreed to by the commission before May 28th, 2022.
