mapmaking

A group of Republican activists has asked the three-judge panel to put in place maps that the Ohio Supreme Court has ruled unconstitutional.

All eyes are on the Ohio Supreme Court to find out if the latest state legislative and congressional district maps will be found constitutional.

Some of the state's top elected officials say it is still possible to have a primary May 3, but it depends on how the supreme court rules on state legislative and congressional district maps.

It's up to House Speaker Bob Cupp (R-Lima) to call for a new Ohio Redistricting Commission meeting, but at this point no one knows when, or even if, that meeting will happen.

U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) is sounding off at the suggestion the state split its primary into two different dates.

The ruling says the Ohio Redistricting Commission must reconvene and redraw the Ohio House and Ohio Senate maps within the next 10 days.

The panel of House and Senate lawmakers is constitutionally required to have two hearings on a proposed district map.

The joint committee is the latest step toward reaching a deal before the next constitutional deadline.
