Ohio Redistricting Amendment Faces Legal Challenge
News summary

The Ohio Ballot Board has approved controversial language for a proposed redistricting amendment, which has sparked outrage from supporters who claim it misrepresents the amendment's intentions. The language, backed by Secretary of State Frank LaRose, suggests that the proposed 15-member citizen panel would gerrymander legislative boundaries in favor of the two largest parties, rather than preventing partisan gerrymandering as intended. Critics, including the Citizens Not Politicians coalition, argue that the approved wording is misleading and manipulative, with plans to challenge it in the Ohio Supreme Court. They contend that the language undermines the amendment's goal of establishing a fair redistricting process by inaccurately portraying the role and removal process of commission members. LaRose has defended the summary as a complete and factual representation of the proposal. A legal action is anticipated next week, as advocates seek to clarify the amendment's purpose and protect voters from misleading information.
