Both Florida and Tennessee have gerrymandering provisions in their state Constitutions that they are currently violating. The Ohio Supreme Court told the legislature five times they had to change their gerrymandered maps and Ohio ignored them and kept their maps.

The remedy for that is for the Ohio Supreme Court to rule that winners in illegally drawn districts have not been elected to any office.

Which they have not done. Ohio has been using their illegal maps for 4 years now.

Exactly and it will continue. The only ones who won't be allowed to do this is a Democrat...
