Analysis: A major battle for control of the Ohio Supreme Court is brewing

Next year's Ohio Supreme Court races could conceivably get lost in the shuffle of a monumental election a year from now.

Ohio voters will go to the polls in November 2024 and find it buried in a long ballot.

It will be swamped by a presidential contest, a U.S. Senate contest, a battle for most seats in the Ohio General Assembly, for Ohio's 15 U.S. House seats, countless common pleas and state appeals court seats, and a host of county contests that, as in the case of the Hamilton County prosecutor's race, will see multi-million dollar campaigns.

But it is too important to be overlooked.

Three seats on Ohio's court will be up for election next year. And both parties have their candidates lined up for the Dec. 20 candidate filing deadline.
