Ohio Redistricting Commission still without plan to meet as Oct. 31 deadline approaches

Ohio is nearly halfway to the next constitutional deadline for congressional redistricting, and so far no public movement to reconvene the Ohio Redistricting Commission has been made.

Ohio House and Ohio Senate majority leadership say they’re awaiting the governor’s word that the commission will be meeting, and Democrats say they aren’t aware of any updates.

At a press conference last week announcing an executive order on intoxicating hemp, Gov. Mike DeWine was asked when the redistricting commission would meet, and simply said “soon.”

“Well, we know what the law is, it’s going to have to occur this month,” DeWine said. “We know that it will occur.”
