Ohio redistricting measure faces ballot language lawsuit
Backers of a 15 member citizen redistricting panel win a fight over ballot wording the board calls inaccurate and devious. The dispute centers on language describing the panel as not elected by voters and on claims that limits on lobbyists curb free speech. A legal challenge is planned in the Ohio Supreme Court as proponents push Issue 1 to replace the current commission with a citizen body selected by retired judges.
