snip-"Backers of an Ohio redistricting measure to strip politicians of mapmaking power sued over GOP-approved ballot language that the campaign says deceives voters.

After a heated Ohio Ballot Board meeting Friday, the Citizens Not Politicians campaign filed a legal challenge with the Ohio Supreme Court on Monday. The ballot language for the issue on the November ballot, approved along party lines, emphasized how the proposed constitutional amendment would repeal prior anti-gerrymandering language approved by voters in 2015 and 2018."

snip-"The constitutional amendment issue on the ballot this fall would replace politicians with a 15-member citizen commission to draw congressional and state legislative districts. Retired judges would help select the panel of five Republicans, five Democrats and five independents who could not have close political ties.
