Lawsuit challenges newly-set August election

State of play: The One Person One Vote campaign claims Republican lawmakers used an illegal legislative process on Wednesday when they approved the statewide election and placed a proposal on the ballot that would require a 60% supermajority of voters to amend the state’s constitution.

• The campaign is represented by Columbus' McTigue and Colombo, along with Washington's Elias Law Group, a Democratic firm.

The other side: A spokesperson for Ohio House Speaker Jason Stephens (R-Kitts Hill) did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.

Between the lines: Republicans hold a 4-3 majority on the state supreme court.

What's next: The case will need to be decided relatively soon.

• County boards of elections are required to prepare the first batch of ballots for the Aug. 8 election by June 23.
• The voter registration deadline for the election is July 10.
