Ohio Redistricting Commission approves 3rd set of 4-year legislative maps, see them here – By Jessie Balmert (The Columbus Dispatch) / February 24, 2022
With the threat of a delayed primary and penalties from the Ohio Supreme Court, four Republicans approved a third set of state House and Senate maps over the objections of Democrats and GOP Auditor Keith Faber.
Because the maps passed without Democratic support, they would only last four years. The Ohio Supreme Court will review whether they abide by voter-approved changes to the Ohio Constitution to curb partisan gerrymandering.
Senate President Matt Huffman, R-Lima, said the new maps approved by the Ohio Redistricting Commission would give Republicans a 54-45 advantage in the House and an 18-15 advantage in the Senate. That’s a change from the previously rejected maps, which gave the GOP a 57-42 advantage in the House and 20-13 edge in the Senate.
