Some very harsh (and justified) language from the Ohio Supreme Court in striking down the GOP's gerrymandered congressional maps supremecourt.ohio.gov/rod/docs/pdf/0…
Very important thing to note about Ohio Supreme Court striking down the GOP's new congressional maps:
Democrat Jennifer Brunner flipped a Republican-held seat in 2020. That shifted the court from 5R-2D to 4R-3D, with moderate R Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor joining the liberals
Had Brunner *not* won in 2020, the Republican majority on the OH Sup Ct would almost certainly have upheld the GOP's congressional & legislative maps.
State supreme court elections really, really matter
