Ohio Senate President Matt Huffman, Ohio Speaker of the House Bob Cupp and two other ranking Republican members of the state legislature filed an appeal with the nation's highest court about the rejection of the congressional map. The lawmakers said in a statement that, "The 4-3 decision of the Ohio Supreme Court encroached on this legislative authority in multiple ways and that action deserves to be tested in the U.S. Supreme Court." The Ohio Supreme Court twice rejected the Congressional map saying that the drawing of the 15 Congressional districts favored the Republican party in both cases. The map that is being used for the November General Election was one state lawmakers approved in March. The Ohio Supreme Court also rejected the drawing of the Ohio house and senate maps five times with the same ruling. The U.S. Supreme Court will have to choose to hear the case for it to move forward.
