Ohio's new district maps for Congressional and Ohio Senate and Ohio House may be in jeopardy,

As we have been telling you, the group is led by Eric Holder, President Obama's former Attorney General. - The National Redistricting Action Fund is an affiliate of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee.

The question is - will the Ohio Supreme Court continue to allow an outside special interest partisan group to draw Ohio's maps and stop Ohioans from voting, as the lawsuits continue to delay the elections indefinitely. Or will they allow the constitutionally ordered Redistricting Commission to do its work without interference from outside partisan political groups? How many times does it have to be said that without unanimous agreement, they are four-year maps, not ten-year maps? Let Ohioans vote! In this program, we give you updates from the Ohio House and discuss the prospects of a possible at-large Congressional ballot.

Redistricting maps are in limbo with the court's rejection. An election crisis is looming in Ohio

On Monday, in a 4-3 decision, the Ohio Supreme Court again rejected the Redistricting Commission's approved maps for the Ohio House and Ohio Senate. Justice Maureen O'Connor joined the Democrats on the bench who have now with their decision thrown the mid-term elections into chaos. Justices Pat DeWine, Sharon Kennedy, and Pat Fisher wrote dissenting opinions. Now, Speaker of the House Bob Cupp and Senate President Matt Huffman are in a quandary as to what to do. On this week's News in Focus, we explain what has happened up until now and where all this might be heading. It is apparent at this point that a constitutional crisis is unfolding in Ohio.  Here are some of the questions that voters are asking, "What district will I be voting in? Will there be a May 3rd Primary or not?  Will there be two Primaries, as Senate President Huffman suggested? "  No one seems to know for sure. There are more questions than answers. If you haven't been paying attention up till now, this program will help you to understand what has happened and why.  Tune in and tell a friend.

A report on this year's March for Life and the anticipation of the overturning of Roe v. Wade

National Director of Created Equal Mark Harrington reports on this year's March for Life. After last year's suspension of the actual March for Life for the first time in its history, as a virtual march ceremony took place instead due to COVID restriction, this year the march was back in force with over 100,000 participants. For the 20th year, Created Equal erected its jumbotron along the march route, broadcasting the images of the results of abortion. These graphic images caught the attention of march participants, many of whom had never seen these graphic images. They shared their thoughts after seeing the images. Mark Harrington explains why he and the team bring the visual demonstration to the March for Life. Tune in and tell a friend. 

 

Interview with Bernie Moreno on the U.S. Southern border crisis

Interview with Bernie Moreno on the U.S. Southern border crisis

Bernie Moreno, a U.S. Senate candidate, discusses his recent trip to the southern border in Texas. A Cleveland businessman who immigrated from Colombia legally with his mother and siblings in the '70s, Bernie talks about the importance of legal immigration and the threat that currently exists with illegal immigration, as over 2 million illegals poured over the U.S. southern border last year alone. Bernie points out that the Biden Administration has done nothing to mitigate the problem, and actually has facilitated and enabled illegal immigration, and has bused these illegals into the interior of the United States with no warning to local authorities or community residents. We discuss the drug and human trafficking problem and the security threat that an open border invites, as government officials have no knowledge of who is entering the country and what their intentions are.

News in Focus will be interviewing a number of candidates running for federal office up until the May 3rd Primary.
