They want (need) to bring the subject to the Supreme Court of the U.S.A.

The reason is: With the death of Louise Slaughter, Democrats are 27 seats away of a majority in the House of Representatives. The new map alone provides them with 2 to 5 seats should they keep the same votes they got in 2016.
Think that with a shift from Republicans to Democrats of only 3 points, they may get around 12 more representatives. From then on, it's increasingly difficult to defeat gerrymandering, but 2 to 5 automatic seats would make it easier, and more worrying -from a GOP point of view-, perhaps achievable.
So, this legal battle is going to be rough (dirty?). Stay tuned.

«Hope Republicans in the Great State of Pennsylvania challenge the new “pushed” Congressional Map, all the way to the Supreme Court, if necessary. Your Original was correct! Don’t let the Dems take elections away from you so that they can raise taxes & waste money!» |
