16. Neither example fits the request

Ohio republicans didn't ignore their state court... they brought it to a higher court and won. That's entirely different from losing in the state courts AND the federal courts and then doing something anyway.

Utah republicans have tried to pack their court (which is an odd phrase since the existing court was already 5-0 appointed by republican governors) - but I don't see that they ignored either a federal or state court... and the state is moving from an all-red districting where they all won by 20 points or more... to one with a safe blue district. How does this fit a claim that they're just doing what they want regardless of what courts say?
