Senate President Matt Huffman listens to an Ohioan voice his concern over Ohio House and Senate district draft maps during a meeting at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio on September 9, 2021. Huffman is one of seven on the Ohio Redistricting Commission.
Plaintiffs in the three pending redistricting lawsuits will be allowed to question Gov. Mike DeWine, Senate President Matt Huffman and the other members of the Ohio Redistricting Commission despite requests from their attorneys.
Several groups including the League of Women Voters of Ohio and National Redistricting Action Fund have sued the commission after it approved new state House and Senate district maps they say violate new rules in the Ohio Constitution.
