A federal court has ruled that Congressional map in the state of Ohio is unconstitutional partisan gerrymandering and must be redrawn by the 2020 election.

In the ruling handed down Friday, they ruled the map was drawn in a way to intentionally “disadvantage Democratic voters and entrench Republican representatives in power."

In doing so the court said the map violated voters right to choose their representatives and exceeded the state's power in the constitution.

"Accordingly, we declare Ohio's 2012 map an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander, enjoin its use in the 2020 election, and order the enactment of a constitutionally viable replacement," the judge's decision stated.

The decision is likely to be appealed and brought before the United States Supreme Court, where two other states, Maryland and North Carolina, are having their state maps deliberated.

The original lawsuit was brought by the ACLU and The League of Women Voters among other voting rights groups arguing that the map was made by Republican politicians to hold Republican power at the state level and maintain their 12-4 advantage.

"These national Republicans generated some of the key strategic ideas for the map, maximizing its likely pro-Republican performance, and had the authority to approve changes to the map before their Ohio counterparts implemented them," the judge wrote. "Throughout the process, the Ohio and national map drawers made decisions based on their likely partisan effects."

The decision from the court comes after Ohio voters overwhelmingly passed an amendment changing the way congressional maps would be drawn.
