Ohio is expected to star in this year's big races for state supreme court seats.
FILE - People gather in a parking lot as people arrive for early in-person voting in Cincinnati, Nov. 2, 2023. Ohio is expected to play a starring role in the 2024 high-stakes races for state supreme court seats. The Ohio Supreme Courts 4-3 Republican majority could flip to Democrats favor in the fall if the party sweeps the three seats up for election this year. – It's been nearly four decades since liberal-leaning justices held a majority on Ohio's supreme court.
They would have to win all three races in the fall to flip the court's 4-3 majority. That's a tall task in a state where Republicans hold every statewide office, supermajorities in the Legislature and twice voted convincingly for Donald Trump for president.to cracking the Republican Party’s longstanding lock on all three branches of state government.
Former Ohio Democratic Party Chair David Pepper said the party's success in Wisconsin is bolstering its hopes in court races across the nation — particularly in Ohio, where party control is in play. During a recent candidate forum, both Democrats hinted at how important it could be to have a Democratic majority on the court to interpret laws coming from a legislature that is gerrymandered to give Republicans a supermajority.
