The Ohio Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected a pair of state legislative maps for a third time and ordered them to be redrawn, casting doubt on the state’s upcoming May 3 primary.

In yet another 4–3 decision, the high court found the bipartisan Ohio Redistricting Commission’s third attempt at drawing the House and Senate maps had once again failed to pass constitutional muster, and ordered a new set of maps to be drawn by March 28.
