Voting Rights Groups Seek Dismissal of Gerrymandering Lawsuit in Ohio
Voting rights groups in Ohio have requested the dismissal of their lawsuit challenging the state's gerrymandered congressional map, arguing that prolonging the legal battle over district boundaries is not in the best interest of Ohio voters. The groups, including the League of Women Voters of Ohio, are willing to accept the U.S. House map used in the previous elections. This move comes as advocates also prepare a redistricting reform amendment for Ohio's 2024 ballot. The Ohio Supreme Court had asked both sides to explain how a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the Ohio map would impact the state case.
