OHIO: I'm told there's a strong likelihood plaintiffs will file a new lawsuit against the GOP's latest congressional map before the end of the day, per the OH Supreme Court's order Friday.

Republicans are hoping courts will say the clock has run out on a challenge. We'll see.
Wow: on a seeming technicality, the OH Supreme Court leaves open the possibility for the latest GOP congressional gerrymander to be used for this November’s election. A surprise and a setback for Democrats. https://t.co/Xb0NfnsY5K

Of the five remaining states, Ohio has by far the most potential to alter the national picture. If the OH Supreme Court invalidates the GOP plan and orders a 8-7 Trump plan (example, left), it could hand Dems 2-3 more seats vs. the current 12R-4D gerrymander (right). pic.twitter.com/vtgjiFwRlB

New: Ohio's Republicans propose a new 10R-2D-3C map that could still result in a 13R-2D split in a favorable GOP year. To my eye, this isn't really any less of a gerrymander than the first map the OH Supreme Court struck down. https://t.co/b9yb8UjKH7

Given that this map isn't much fairer than the one that was ruled illegal in Jan., the OH Supreme Court may strike down this map too. But in the meantime, OSU's Steve Huefner tells me he believes this map is in effect until the court says otherwise. https://t.co/QgCIcO80jz

#NEW: The Ohio Redistricting Commission has voted 5-2 to adopt a new congressional map. The plan now faces judicial review. https://t.co/V8PVmYBluG pic.twitter.com/VGyKNnXTcW

P.S. If it stands, this Ohio map would be good for only two election cycles, since it failed to get any Democratic support on the commission. https://t.co/QgCIcO80jz pic.twitter.com/SquK2XGgdm

The congressional map adopted by the majority commissioners today continues to gerrymander Ohio’s communities, completely ignoring Ohioans’ demands for fairness. This is unacceptable.

Sad!
