The redistricting process still has a long way to go, but a battle to keep track of public records during the process has already begun in a court case between the ACLU and the Ohio House of Representatives.
The ACLU asked the Ohio Supreme Court to compel employees within the Ohio House and the offices of six representatives, including House Speaker Bob Cupp, R-Lima, to provide public records related to redistricting. The legal advocacy group said the records were requested five months ago, and certain elements had been rejected as “overly broad.”
“Since then, however, (legal counsel in the office of the House Speaker) has flouted the clearly defined duty to provide responsive records in a timely manner pursuant to Ohio public records law, including by withholding certain records without sufficient justification and by failing to provide others altogether,” the ACLU said in a court filing.
