Yeah, I just assume the Ohio SC assumed if they drew their own maps they would be immediately challenged and have it go to Federal, and didn’t want to risk their decision being overturned or something.
Either way, as a Michigander, I’m actually rooting for you guys. Our newly created commission made maps for last election and it was nice that the votes actually mattered this time.
I wasn’t crazy about our amendment to fix gerrymandering last time, I thought it was flawed and exploitable. There was a lot of people who said it didn’t go far enough. Turns out that sentiment was correct. We should be getting a chance to fix that soon. I know a signature drive has already been completed but I forget what is on the new attempt.
Our SC could have had their own maps drawn and forced Ohio to use it, but they put their balls in their desks.
