What to know about Ohio's redistricting fight and the impact it will have on upcoming elections
Tomorrow, Ohio will hold an unprecedented event that may largely go unnoticed — a primary for state legislators and state party central committees. Candidates will vie for the chance to represent their parties this fall in a vote that usually happens in March or May, but the redistricting saga that’s dragged on for almost a year pushed the vote to Aug. 2.
