By a split vote, Ohio Redistricting Commission adopts third set of state legislative maps
Source: Statehouse News Bulletin
The Ohio Redistricting Commission adopted new Ohio House and Ohio Senate district maps by a vote of 4 to 3, with Auditor Keith Faber (R-Ohio) joining Democratic commissioners in voting against the proposal.
The Republican-drawn plan for new legislative district maps was the third attempt to create maps that comply with the constitution and orders from the Ohio Supreme Court.
Because the maps didn’t have bipartisan buy-in, they’d only be in effect for four years.
The new state legislative district maps create 54 Republican and 45 Democratic seats in the House and 18 Republican and 15 Democratic seats in the Senate.
