snip-For the fourth time, the Ohio Supreme Court rejected state House and Senate maps drawn by Republicans, sending mapmakers back to the drawing board.
Time is of the essence because Ohio needs legislative maps by Wednesday to conduct an Aug. 2 primary – the latest possible date, according to election officials.

If the Ohio Redistricting Commission can't come up with a solution, the task could fall to a trio of federal judges.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court struck down the latest state House and Senate maps in a 4-3 decision. The court asked for new maps by May 6.

more there.
