New PA Maps In Effect

[Oryxslayer]

The big question here is the new 10th/11th. He competitive do we thing it is - heading to DRA now!

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Now why didn't a Democratic Supreme Court draw a Democratic-favored map here? What a wasted opportunity.

This is a Democratic favored map.

Fitzpatrick will most likely be the only R of the 8 eastern-most districts come November.

[Bojack Horseman]

Now why didn't a Democratic Supreme Court draw a Democratic-favored map here? What a wasted opportunity.

This is a Democratic favored map.

It's hardly a Democratic-favored map when there are still more Republicans than Democrats. They should have gone North Carolina-type extreme in removing Republicans from Congress. Now I wonder when they're going to strike down and redraw the state legislative maps. That is just as important as redoing the Congressional map.

8D? Perfect. D+3.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I wonder if Holden could win PA-9, it seems like it has quite a bit of his old territory.

Hot takes:
*MontCo looks amazing. It was hard for me to avoid cutting into it when trying to form a compact map.
*Does anybody have any clue if Fitzpatrick's district's PVI changed?
*Smucker must become rather safe now as his district because a SEPA GOP vote sink. Lucky guy.
*The lines look clean throughout, but Barletta's seat looks really ugly and kind of a mishmash, community-of-interest-wise.

How about, they were trying to draw a fairer map that's more in the interest of the people of the state as a whole?  You know, what courts are supposed to do?

[Ronnie]

Oh sh*t. That's an amazing map for Dems.

This tweet says that the GOP will challenge the map.  How, exactly?

It's looking dicey, though. It doesn't have Dauphin , and it has the Trumpiest parts of Luzerne and Carbon added to it.

They'll sue again in court and try to delay the implementation of this map. Won't go anywhere, if Alito wasn't going to step in before, he won't now.

There were planning to try and take the entire process to federal court before the map was even revealed - all part of their constant harebrained schemes that have transpired throughout this process.

But...but...but Cynic told me all anyone cares about is maximizing partisan advantage in redistricting regardless of who they had to screw over in order to do so.

[Classic Conservative]

Even though I don’t agree with the map, it looks a lot better than the other map visually. I hope this can be the last gerrymandered cycle ever!

[Dr. Arch]

What are the leans of these districts?

Didn’t Holden also used to represent Northern Berks?

Philadelphia still gets three seats essentially. Boyle will get to run in PA-02.

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

I attempted to calculate the PVI of Matthew Cartwrights new District. Seems like an R+0.94, which is close to where his old District was.

[DPKdebator]

I must say that those are some very aesthetically pleasing congressional districts. Gerrymandering is one of our country's major problems in politics and it's good to see people fight against it.

Yeah, Nate Cohn has it going from 53.4-43.3 Trump to 53.2-43.7. Basically the same, though it will be new territory for Cartwright, which probably makes him a little more vulnerable.

Delco has 560,000 people - that's like 3/4 of a district.

[LimoLiberal]

Trump v. Hillary numbers for each district, via Nate Cohn:



8-10 split.

[Oryxslayer]

The new map cuts 13 counties.

8-10 C-T. Many competitive seats.

[Horus]

I'm most interested to see who wins the new 17th. It's a narrow Trump district but ancestrally Dem.
