The Ohio Legislative Black Caucus, which represents Black members in the Ohio House and Senate, issued a statement on Wednesday saying they are “deeply concerned” that Republican Senate President Matt Huffman’s proposal would reduce chances for public input on the process of redrawing the state’s political maps later this year.
“Using the guise of the delay in Census data does not justify giving the General Assembly free rein to reconfigure the redistricting schedule that was approved by voters in 2015 and 2018,” the statement read. “The Census delay should be addressed by extending all of the deadlines by the same amount of time, so that the overall process begins later but the schedule otherwise remains fixed.”
