"2022 Ohio Primary: Democrats Vie for Control of State Supreme Court"

The Ohio primary will determine the candidates competing for an open seat on the state's supreme court, with Democrats aiming to flip the court's majority for the first time in decades. The court's decisions will impact issues such as redistricting, public education, healthcare, and abortion, particularly in light of a voter-approved constitutional amendment. With the potential to shape the implementation of reproductive rights, the race is expected to be intense and expensive, reflecting a broader trend of costly state supreme court races across the country.
