Ohio must use voting maps ruled unconstitutional by Ohio Supreme Court

Written by awfblog | June 7, 2022

Ohio AFL-CIO President Tim Burga joined the America’s Work Force Union Podcast and discussed a recent federal court decision to use Ohio congressional redistricting maps that had been declared unconstitutional by the Ohio Supreme Court for an upcoming primary election.

Burga described the situation as “lawlessness at its worst,” and said the decision by the federal court circumvents the will of Ohio’s voters who passed a state constitutional amendment to prevent gerrymandering from taking place in Ohio.

He also talked about the importance of upcoming elections for the Ohio Supreme Court and recent polling regarding the midterm elections.
