Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost blocks redistricting reform efforts
TL;DR
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has rejected the language summarizing a proposed redistricting amendment, stating that it was not a fair and truthful representation of the measure's effects. The group behind the amendment, Citizens Not Politicians, must now revise the summary language and resubmit it along with 1,000 voter signatures for review. The proposed amendment aims to create a 15-member Ohio Citizens Redistricting Commission to replace the current Republican-dominated Ohio Redistricting Commission. The group intends to collect enough voter signatures by July 2024 to qualify for the November 2024 ballot.
