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.

..."The court today
The seven-member Ohio Supreme Court is made up today of four Republicans and three Democrats.
That was a split that worked for the Democrats and voting rights groups last year when Republican Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor voted with the Democrats on the court to repeatedly reject legislative district maps drawn by Republicans.
But O'Connor is gone, a casualty of Ohio's judicial age limits law.
A year ago, Ohio voters replaced her as chief justice with Republican Justice Sharon Kennedy, a consistent vote for the GOP maps."...
