Federal court to impose invalidated Ohio legislative maps if state officials cannot meet new deadline
(海角破解版) -- Judges on a federal district court are now giving Ohio until May 28th to come up with state legislative district maps, or they will intervene. In their ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit said it will order an Aug. 2nd primary for Ohio House, and Senate seats and impose an earlier set of maps approved by the Ohio Redistricting Commission. Those maps, adopted by the Ohio Redistricting Commission on Feb. 24, were rejected by the Ohio Supreme Court as illegal partisan gerrymanders.
