You're right Bruce. Generally speaking it is, and it has now become that after the conservative government was finally ousted. Electorates were redefined and it became a level playing field again. More or less anyway.

The perfect solution for Gerrymandering the politicians will never use.

In a highly offensive response, the Rs have accused one of the Supreme Court justices of being biased...
...claiming he should have recused himself, in the court case where it was decided that gerrymandering is out of control... ...because in 2015, when he was a Supreme Court candidate, he made public statements saying that the gerrymandering was out of control. ~ un be lievable ~ (paywalled philly.com article) (non-paywalled buzzfeed article) |

It took a Supreme Court to get politicians to redistrict in a responsible manner. This new GOP map redistricts mostly by county lines. Those evil judges did it again.

It looks fair except for Philly and region.
For the 1st District, it looks like they've made a crazy zig zag near the "wa" in "Delaware" -- do we know anyone who lives around there -- best guesses? 16 = Lancaster turned blue by including Reading 11 = red, even though it includes Harrisburg 6 = red 8 = don't know - fight between the ABE blues and the central Bucks reds 7 = a crazy mash 13 = blue, but will drink hoity-toity beer from time to time 1 = permanent blue 2 = permanent blue |

...so in the previous map the Ds won 5 districts, now they will win... 6 I suppose, since Pittsburgh 14 is blue, and they split the burbs.
So the battlegrounds for the state will always be the Philly burbs. it gives me a tear... almost makes me want to... vote nah |

My district is much more sensible and I may be rid of the drug dealing Tom Marino.

They did get cute with Luzurne and Carbon counties so somebody might be getting screwed.

Erie and Armstrong counties also have little in common - need not be in the same Congressional district.

Having in common shouldn't be a consideration.
