Actually, the gerrymandering of the voting districts that were ruled illegal by the Ohio Supreme Court has a lot to do with it. An independent third party came up with new districts but the gop legislature drug their feet until it was too late to correct before the primaries. This allowed them to resubmit and use the previously ruled on map. Similarly to the school funding that has been ruled illegal by the Ohio Supreme Court for years, but just ignored. Rules don’t apply to anyone who gets to enforce, investigate and or punish themselves no matter what occupation they are in.
