If you missed it, you can see slides<\/a> and view a recording<\/a>. Here is a brief update.\r\n\r\nNote:<\/strong> our meeting was the victim of a nasty (but most-likely random) Zoom bombing incident. We are changing up the meeting link and will have better\/faster anti-hacking defenses in the future. Apologies to all, especially to those whose innocent names were used as part of the hack. We very much hope this does not happen in the future.\r\n\r\n1. Ohio House and Senate Maps<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \t- The fifth<\/b> set of maps was <\/span>struck down<\/span><\/a> by the Ohio Supreme Court (OSC) 5\/25\/2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
- Note: the 3rd & 5th sets of maps are identical \u2013 and the 4th set is almost identical.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
- The OSC ordered the Ohio Redistricting Commission to draw a new map by 6\/3\/2022.\u00a0 The Commission didn\u2019t even pretend to try.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
- On 5\/27\/2022, a panel of federal judges dictated the use of the 3rd set of maps for 2022. This was a 2-1 decision with two Trump-appointed judges forming the majority.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
- The federal judges set August 2nd as the date for our 2nd primary.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nDissent from Judge Marbley: <\/span>\u201c(In making this decision), the majority tables a watershed constitutional referendum, abrogates controlling decisions of the state Supreme Court, and unwittingly rewards the Commission\u2019s brinksmanship over the rights of Ohio voters.\u201d<\/span><\/i>\r\n\r\nFrom <\/span><\/i>Justice O'Connor's concurring opinion <\/b>striking down the 5th set of Ohio House and Senate maps:\r\n\r\n\u201cThe federal court determined that to avoid jeopardizing Ohioans\u2019 right to vote, it would wait until May 28 before acting. But the federal court did not \u2018stay [its] hand until May 28,\u2019 as it stated it would, and leave the state to fix the crisis created by the commission\u2019s own actions. <\/span><\/i>Instead, the federal court provided the Republican commission members not only a roadmap of how to avoid discharging their duties but also a green light to further delay these proceedings by stating its intention to implement \u2018Map 3\u2019\u2026, all the while acknowledging that this court had declared Map 3 to be invalid and unconstitutional.\u201d<\/i><\/b>\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n2.\u00a0<\/strong>Redistricting Lawsuits Multiply\u2026<\/b><\/a>\r\n\r\nAfter the 3rd set of maps was finally adopted, additional lawsuits have appeared. This is in part because the GOP used information from the 2nd set of maps to draw candidates out of districts. Here is a list of new lawsuits:<\/span>\r\n\r\n \t- A <\/span>lawsuit<\/span><\/a> from would-be Democratic candidates challenging filing deadlines. They say the filing deadline should be 90 days before Aug. 2, or early May. LaRose told BOEs not to accept filings (<\/span>2022-0661<\/span><\/a>).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
- A lawsuit in federal court from a would-be GOP candidate also challenging filing deadlines.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
- A <\/span>lawsuit<\/span><\/a> from state Rep. Adam Miller about residency requirements. The date was set for 30 days after the 1st showing of the 3rd set of maps.\u00a0 (<\/span>2022-0667<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
- A <\/span>criminal complaint<\/span><\/a> from the Democratic candidate for attorney general against members of the ORC for dereliction of duty, claiming GOP commissioners \u201crecklessly failed to perform a duty expressly imposed by law with respect to the public servant\u2019s office.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n3. Ohio Congressional map<\/strong>\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\nWe voted 5\/3 using this map although it may still be struck down as unconstitutional.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n \t- Two active lawsuits.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t

\r\n \t- A <\/span>motion<\/span><\/a> to enforce the 5\/25\/ruling requiring a new map was filed by the Bennett petitioners for the Commission failing to meet the 6\/6\/22 deadline for new General Assembly maps.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
- The Ohio Organizing Collaborative <\/span>filed<\/span><\/a> a motion on 6\/8\/2022\u00a0 in support of the Bennett petitioners motion, but asked for the Ohio Supreme Court to set an in-person hearing.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
- \u00a0LWV and ACLU also <\/span>filed<\/span><\/a> a motion on 6\/8\/2022 joining the other petitioners in asking the Court to enforce their 5\/25 decision and require an in-person hearing.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
- Also, an appeal went to SCOTUS<\/a> over federal court decision on potential Voting Rights Act violations related to General Assembly districts<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n5. Actions you can take<\/b>\r\n
