redistricting

The state Senate voted Monday to approve a Republican-backed plan that nonpartisan analysts say has a clear GOP advantage.

Broome County legislators voted along party lines Tuesday night to adopt a new legislative district map, favored by Republicans. Last week, many residents voiced their concerns about the map in a public hearing.

With the Jan. 30 deadline imposed by Pa. Commonwealth Court approaching, the Republican-controlled state Senate is trying to cobble together a compromise.

The Broome County Legislature postponed adopting a new map of the county’s 15 legislative districts, Thursday night, following a public hearing. The map would allow many Republican incumbents to keep their current seats.

The proposed congressional redistricting map passed along party lines.

The Pennsylvania House plans to pass a Republican-drawn draft of the map.

A Pennsylvania House committee is moving forward a number of measures.

The House Republican caucus blasted out a press release deriding the House proposal as an “extreme partisan gerrymander in favor of Democrats.”

The map approval process drew criticism from fair district advocates, Democrats, and at least one Republican.

The new congressional map must account for the loss of one seat, dropping the state's D.C. delegation from 18 to 17 starting with the 2022 races.
