Rep. Casey Weinstein (D-Hudson) says Republican leaders in Ohio have pushed to delay a legal marijuana ballot initiative to avoid an uptick in voter turnout for the November election.

The court has ruled against three sets of state House and Senate maps Republicans on the Ohio Redistricting Commission approve, resulting in no valid maps for the May 3 primary.

The bill is the third measure to allow people to use pot for personal use proposed this year.
