(CNN) A federal court in Ohio found Friday that the state's congressional map is unconstitutional, striking down the map as a partisan gerrymander and ordering that a new map be drawn for the 2020 election. Cases involving those states' maps were argued before the court in March, and the court's eventual ruling would likely determine the outcome of appeals in Ohio and Michigan, too. The states will likely ask the courts to put the recent rulings on hold, while it considers the Maryland and North Carolina casesOhio Attorney General Dave Yost tweeted Friday that the state would appeal. "Ohioans already voted to reform how we draw our congressional maps," Yost tweeted. Ohio will seek a stay of this decision and appeal it."
