PA is safe - for now- from the mid-decade redistricting frenzy. Some of our legislators hope to change that after November 3.
In Maryland, a voice of reason argues against "they did it first" redistricting.
"We should be focused on winning by challenging our political adversaries with the power of our ideas and our commitment to deliver results that improve the lives of our people, not by attempting to redraw election district boundaries for the sole purpose of gaining a temporary partisan political advantage."

With November 3rd just months away, some states are still litigating district lines.
In Maryland, a proposed new map would remove the state's sole GOP Congressional district.
In the gerrymandering wars, ALL voters lose.
Who wins? Party leaders and lawyers.

"The League of Women Voters has been asking that question for 40 years, and Fair Districts PA has been asking it for the past 10. So far, more than 136,000 Pennsylvanians have answered yes."

Fair Districts PA volunteers argue that an independent redistricting commission would remove conflicts of interest by taking map-drawing power away from politicians and giving it to a balanced, transparent panel.
