Theredistricting process was formally begun by a legislative panel on June 16, 2011.[ 1] incumbents would be drawn into districts also containing the homes of other incumbents.[ 2] Ohio House of Representatives on September 15[ 3] Ohio Senate on September 21. The bill passed by the Senate included anappropriations provision intended to prevent the bill from being placed on the 2012 ballot bypetition [ 4] [ 5] Governor John Kasich signed the bill into law on September 26.[ 6]
On September 28, theOhio Democratic Party had filed suit in theOhio Supreme Court , seeking a ruling on the legality of the Senate's addition of an appropriations provision.[ 7] referendum on the map could go ahead. Ohioans for Fair Districts, the group calling for a referendum, asked the court to restart the 90-day time limit for the collection of signatures,[ 8] [ 9] [ 10]
If the map had received 66 votes in the House of Representatives, an emergency clause preventing a referendum from being held would have been invoked. As a result, in October 2011 Republicans sought the support ofAfrican American Democrats for an alternative map.[ 11] Ohio Legislative Black Caucus met with Redfern, indicating they would not immediately seek to compromise with Republicans;[ 12] Bob Bennett , the former chair of theOhio Republican Party appointed byHouse Speaker William G. Batchelder to negotiate an alternative map, said he thought the two parties were close to reaching an agreement.[ 13]
On November 3, Batchelder brought a slightly modified map to the floor of the House of Representatives. However, the House fell eight votes short of the 66 needed to bring the map up for a vote without a committee hearing having been held.[ 14]
Later in November, Ohio Democratic Partycommunications director Seth Bringman said the referendum effort had surpassed 100,000 signatures and aimed to have collected the over 230,000 signatures necessary by December 23.[ 15] amendment to theOhio Constitution requiring compact and competitive districts could have been sought.[ 16] [ 15]
On December 14, 2011, the House of Representatives and Senate both passed a new map, effectively resolving the situation.[ 17]
