Attorneys are set to argue for and against Ohio's new congressional district map in the state supreme court on Tuesday.

Legal challenges are expected after Saturday’s signing of the first Ohio Congressional map created under a voter-approved process that was supposed to take the overt partisanship out of redistricting.

The governor signed off on a Republican-drawn Congressional map that creates 12 out 15 districts expected to result in wins for GOP candidates.

The Ohio House is set to vote Thursday on a new Congressional district map that could give Republicans as many as 13 of Ohio's 15 total Congressional seats.

Citizens packed a church next door to the Ohio Statehouse to rally for "fair districts" and afterward they met with lawmakers.

In this week's episode of Snollygoster, Ohio's politics podcast from ÐÇ¿ÕÎÞÏÞ´«Ã½, host Mike Thompson discusses the maps released by the Ohio Redistricting Commission. Jen Miller, executive director for the Ohio League of Women Voters, joins the show.

The redistricting commission missed the constitutionally mandated September 1 deadline for coming up with a map for legislative districts.

As the Ohio Redistricting Commission finalizes their proposed state map, Tuesday's town hall will raise awareness about legislative map-making.

Advocates for fair districts said redistricting leaders should remain focused on the goal.

Some Democrats and voting advocates worry maps will be drawn behind closed doors and rushed through the process.
