IT LOOKS LIKE THE STATE SUPREME COURT WILL DECIDE ON THE NEXT CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT MAP FOR PA.
A REPORT OUT OF HARRISBURG SUGGESTS THAT THE HIGH COURT WILL DECIDE THE MATTER OF WHICH CONGRESSIONAL MAP PENNSYLVANIA WILL SEND TO WASHINGTON. THE DISTRICTS HAD TO BE REWORKED BECAUSE PENNSYLVANIA LOST ONE SEAT IN CONGRESS BECAUSE OF DELCINING POPULATION. THE 2020 CENSUS SHOWED THAT THE STATE WILL LOSE ONE SEAT, AND DROP TO 17 CONGRESSIONAL MEMBERS. REPUBLICANS ARE WORRIED THE THE COURT, WHICH HAS A 5-2 DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY WILL CHOOSE A MAP THAT WILL FAVOR DEMOCRATS IN THE PA DELEGATION TO WASHINGTON. A DECISION COULD COME TODAY.
