The Ohio Supreme Court has rejected a fourth set of state legislative maps submitted by the Republican-controlled Ohio Redistricting Commission for failing to comply with the state constitution’s anti-gerrymandering requirements.

According to a 4–3 decision made by a panel of judges, Republicans on the commission violated the state’s new redistricting rules by drawing up maps that didn’t follow fairness or proportionality standards.
