Ohio’s top court on Sept. 16 largely upheld the description of a proposed constitutional amendment that would significantly change how redistricting is done in the state, rejecting claims from challengers who argued the language was biased against the proposal.

In a 4–3 decision, the majority ruled that saying the amendment, if approved, would “repeal constitutional protections against gerrymandering” and require a new commission to gerrymander state and congressional districts was accurate.
