Virginia Democrats should emulate Ohio Republicans’ Hard Ball Actions and Ignore Court Orders re: Redistricting

Ohio Republicans violated court rulings and kept running elections using gerrymandered maps. They repeatedly ignored (or only minimally complied with) court orders until deadlines passed. The courts ultimately lacked sufficient ability to compel Ohio to comply with orders and implement acceptable replacement maps. As a result, Ohio voters cast ballots in 2022 and in 2024 using maps that the Ohio Supreme Court had declared unconstitutional.
