The federal court here imposes a map that the state supreme court ruled is unlawful under the state constitution. It's literally an illegal map that this court ruled the state must use anyway.

A district-by-district breakdown of Ohio’s latest congressional map, which will likely be used in 2022, might be used in 2024, but won’t be used in 2026.
GOP advantage could go from 12-4 to 13-2.

New: In the final months of a decades-long political career, Ohio's GOP chief justice is standing firm as the last wall blocking her party from gerrymandering. Republicans are furious. Some want her impeached, even though she's set to leave the court soon https://t.co/1tK24M55gp

This schedule would seem to preclude a legal challenge to Ohio’s GOP map before the May primary, paving the way for a map as lopsided as 13R-2D to be used for the 2022 elections – unless a federal court intervenes. https://t.co/0n4OOUgRTP

THREAD on the extreme lawlessness taking place in Ohio

I'm on a flight, which gives me an opportunity to do something I've wanted to do for a while: review just how lawless the Ohio GOP behavior has become, and the risk it poses to the rule of law in Ohio long-term.

I'm seeing a lot of news outlets depict Ohio's GOP-enacted map as giving Rs an advantage in at least 10 of 15 seats, but that understates the gerrymander.
— Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) March 29, 2022
There are 10 solid R seats, two solid D seats and three competitive seats. There's a real chance of a 13R-2D rout in 2022.
"Republicans have a few tactics they use to defend illegal maps…But in Georgia and Ohio, Republicans are employing a new procedural strategy — creating delays in the legal process until it’s too late to overturn illegal maps before an election." https://t.co/lzNDn3jUak
