U.S. District Court Tells Ohio to Use Legislative Districts Chosen by Ohio Redistricting Commission

On May 27, a 3-judge U.S. District Court ordered Ohio to use legislative district maps that had been chosen by the Ohio Redistricting Commission, even though that plan had been rejected by the Ohio Supreme Court as an unconstitutional gerrymander. Here is the opinion in Gonidakis v LaRose, s.d., 2:22cv-773.

The vote is 2-1. The legislative primaries will be held on Tuesday, August 2. Independent candidates for the legislature have until August 1 to submit their petitions. The majority decision is signed by Judges Amul Thapar and Benjamin Beaton, Trump appointees. The dissent is by Judge Algenon Marbley, a Clinton appointee.

  1. One of the many reasons that Trump was our greatest President in at least nearly a century and probably definitely but most definitely probably ever is his many great judicial nomination, and he will be even much greater still when he comes back to his rightful office like Return of the Jedi and saves America. Thank God!

  2. 2 more Trump HACKS at work — who should be impeached and purged ASAP.

    OH Const subverted. TOTAL contempt for OH SUP CT.


    PR

  3. You fucking retard, the districts were more than fair. You just want commies in office.

  4. I believe this was settled under the conservative judicial principle of “let’s just have the federal court set aside a state constitution until the next set of Ohio Supreme Court elections so that they can finish the job themselves”

  5. The district’s were very fair and the federal court did the right thing here.

  6. Republican districts are fair. It is the Democrats who cheat in elections and gerrymander elections. GO GO GOP!!!!
