Some Black former lawmakers from Ohio have split from most of their Democratic colleagues and are opposing Issue 1, the redistricting proposal on the fall ballot.

The group Citizens Not Politicians filed their lawsuit with the Ohio Supreme Court after the Ballot Board's approval of wording that voters will see this fall.
