The amendment aimed to address concerns about gerrymandering by replacing the current Ohio Redistricting Commission with a non-partisan body. The defeat of the measure has drawn mixed reactions, with conservatives praising the outcome and reform advocates expressing disappointment.
The result means that the current system, which has faced criticism for partisan manipulation, will remain in place.
