I guess that area of PA has nothing in common with the modern Democratic Party... it's very close to WV. 

Take the bluish parts of the Poconos and just join them with the bluish parts of the Lehigh Valley.

The rest of the surrounding area is going red.

As stated in the article it depends on how his district is redrawn. Cartwright's prolly still decently favored if his new district has Scranton metro+Stroudsburg as well as the resort counties which have actually seen population growth over the past few decades. On the other hand, however much of Coal Country he doesn't have to eat in exurban Luzerne/the Jim Thorpe area is gonna be Wild's problem.

Is a 9D/8R map possible for PA in '22? On paper, but NEPA and Lehigh Valley are going to be top R targets.


I love that somebody knows what Stroudsburg is... to me it's home, but many people don't know it... actually it has historical significance as Abraham Lincoln's representative on the battlefields was a man from Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.  It's a very small town, but like I said, it's home... and I bet we've all got hometowns that aren't famous to the rest of the world but to us, they certainly are very famous
