On The Ballot

The new boundaries for Ohio’s Statehouse seats are quite a bit different than during the last election for them in November 2020. The Aug. 2 primary will feature the area’s only contested Statehouse election, for the 82nd House District. Like elsewhere, the boundaries have changed after a federal court recently stopped repeated challenges to Ohio’s Republican-led redistricting efforts. Ultimately, the federal court decided to go with one of the previous maps that had been selected by the panel.
